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<p>In today&#8217;s feature, we had the opportunity to speak with Chris Notley of FIFUM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Chris Notley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During his 20 years in IT, Chris has been part of teams at renowned organizations like the BBC, Honda, Dyson, Rugby Football Union, and McLaren Racing. These experiences ingrained in him the essence of how IT can be the driving force behind a business\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a recurring observation was that many IT teams seemed trapped in their own bubble, often overlooking the genuine needs of the businesses they were supposed to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That realization led to the birth of FIFUM in 2017. The vision was clear: to offer businesses IT solutions tailored specifically to address their unique challenges and aspirations. At FIFUM, we don\u2019t deal in generic, off-the-shelf advice. Our focus remains steadfast on understanding the intricacies of your business, ensuring our IT recommendations are tailored just for you.<\/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\/1SXW8TjysX0?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\">Here are my key takeaways:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp; Streamlined Onboarding Wins Clients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris emphasizes how JumpCloud&#8217;s smooth onboarding process simplifies remote client integration, creating a positive first impression. This efficiency is a key selling point for FIFUM&#8217;s MSP services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Platform versatility is important<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FIFUM utilizes JumpCloud to manage a diverse device landscape, including Windows, Mac, and Linux machines. Chris highlights JumpCloud&#8217;s exceptional Linux device management and user-friendly MDM integration for Mac users.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp; Word of Mouth is Gold<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A significant portion of FIFUM&#8217;s business comes from client referrals. Chris attributes this success, in part, to the positive client experiences facilitated by JumpCloud&#8217;s onboarding process, leading to satisfied customers who spread the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.&nbsp; Partnerships are Key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Building strong relationships with technology providers like JumpCloud is crucial for FIFUM&#8217;s success. Chris emphasizes transparency with clients about JumpCloud being a separate product, fostering trust and a collaborative approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.Flexible Pricing is Essential<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>FIFUM offers JumpCloud as part of bundled packages or as a separate line item.
