Cobry is a leading Google Cloud Premier Partner that helps organizations transform how they collaborate. Founded in Scotland and now expanding rapidly across North America, Cobry focuses on helping businesses move beyond legacy systems and adopt modern, cloud-first ways of working.
However, as Cobry entered the North American market, the team identified a key gap. Delivering a seamless collaboration experience required more than cloud productivity tools. Organizations also needed a consistent way to manage identity and devices across diverse hardware environments.
To solve this, Cobry partnered with JumpCloud. By building upon the integration between Google Workspace and JumpCloud, Cobry created a unified solution it calls the “Triple Play.” This approach enables organizations to transition from legacy environments to a modern, secure, and scalable cloud architecture while maintaining control over both identity and devices.
The Challenge: Managing Complexity in a Cloud-First World
As Cobry’s clients grew from startups into mid-market organizations, many encountered challenges in their digital transformation journeys. While Google Workspace delivered a strong collaboration layer, managing a diverse mix of devices remained complex. Many organizations wanted the flexibility of the cloud but still relied on fragmented systems for identity and device management.
Security concerns also slowed adoption. Teams often struggled to secure non-Chrome devices or maintain access to legacy tools. Without a centralized system, IT teams faced increased administrative overhead and inconsistent security controls. Cobry recognized that without a unified approach to identity and device management, the full value of cloud transformation would remain out of reach.
The Solution: A Unified Identity and Device Platform
Cobry selected JumpCloud to complete its vision of a unified workplace. Together with Google Workspace and Chrome, JumpCloud forms the foundation of Cobry’s solution. It enables Cobry to extend centralized identity and device management across macOS and Windows environments, complementing Google Workspace’s cloud-first capabilities.
The combination of Google Workspace, Chrome, and JumpCloud is the ‘Triple Play’ we recommend as the base layer for any organization. It has become one of the three core solutions we deploy as standard practice to ensure security and scalability.

The Transformation: Simplifying Complexity at Scale
By integrating JumpCloud, Cobry helps clients turn operational complexity into a competitive advantage. Organizations gain a streamlined user experience, stronger security, and greater flexibility across their IT environments.
1. Unified Cross-Platform Management
With JumpCloud, Cobry enables clients to manage Windows, macOS, and other devices through a single platform. Using Cloud Directory and Mobile Device Management capabilities, IT teams can enforce policies, manage configurations, and maintain security standards across all endpoints. This approach allows employees to use their preferred devices while IT teams maintain full visibility and control.
2. A Single Source of Truth for Identity
For organizations operating across multiple platforms or going through mergers, identity fragmentation often creates friction. JumpCloud addresses this by acting as a centralized identity layer.
Through Single Sign-On and directory integrations, users can access multiple systems, including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, with a single set of credentials. This reduces login friction, improves user experience, and consolidates identity data into a unified system.
3. Faster, Frictionless Onboarding
Cobry combines its change management expertise with JumpCloud’s automation capabilities to simplify onboarding.
Using Zero-Touch Provisioning, devices can be shipped directly to employees and are ready to use out of the box. Users can access essential tools quickly without complex setup processes. With features like Cloud RADIUS and Multi-Factor Authentication, organizations maintain strong security while enabling employees to become productive within minutes of their first login.
Future Outlook: Building the AI-Ready Enterprise
As Cobry looks ahead, it sees identity and device standardization as critical to enabling the next generation of innovation.
A unified platform built on JumpCloud and Google Workspace provides a strong foundation for adopting emerging tools such as AI-driven applications. With a secure and scalable infrastructure in place, Cobry’s clients can move faster and innovate with confidence.
We don’t want to be seen as just another IT vendor. Our goal is to work closely with businesses and help drive them forward. JumpCloud allows us to do that by bridging critical gaps and giving our customers a clear path to success.
