In our interview series, we delve into conversations with these partners, exploring the dynamics of their MSPs and how JumpCloud plays a pivotal role in their operations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Benjamin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In today&#8217;s feature, we had the opportunity to speak with Benjamin Morales of Cirrus Partners. Join us as we uncover insights into their MSP journey and the impact of JumpCloud&#8217;s solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"image is-16by9\">\n<iframe class=\"has-ratio\" width=\"300\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cddHaC1kY-E?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drink Your Own Champagne<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cirrus Partners don\u2019t expect their clients to use something they don\u2019t use themselves, so they rolled JumpCloud out internally initially. They began by using the directory services and device agent to manage the local devices and it proved to be valuable they then began deploying to clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evolution of JumpCloud<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time JumpCloud expanded its offering, and this originally worried Cirrus Partners as they were concerned that it may cause issues as seen with other vendors, but they didn\u2019t need to worry.&nbsp; JumpCloud continued to improve features and this inspired a lot of confidence in the&nbsp; JumpCloud platform. Cirrus Partners now use almost every part of JumpCloud and this has allowed them to remove some services they were using from other vendors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Users Just Get It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>JumpCloud is a reliable solution for Identity and Access Management (IAM) for end users, it\u2019s so simple for them to use that they want to use it and it offers them immediate benefits.&nbsp; Presenting users with a single dashboard for applications while improving security and making their lives a lot easier than the alternative solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give it a go<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben\u2019s advice for users getting started with JumpCloud is simple, spin up a test tenancy and map out what you\u2019re trying to achieve with JumpCloud, provision and test, test and test.&nbsp; Do all of this before pushing out to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thanks to Benjamin for taking the time to chat.
