Selling software to IT administrators is a bit like cooking for a master chef. Except, instead of the meal being over in two hours, the software provider has to continue to impress the discerning master chef everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, at JumpCloud, we love working with customers who have high standards for technology because we do, too. In fact, partnering with people who are just as passionate as we are about tech means we get to constantly raise the bar for what IT professionals expect from their software. We\u2019re also proud to say that more than 100,000 organizations have happily leveraged JumpCloud\u2019s access control and device management platform. Customers\u2019 positive reviews<\/a> speak for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what\u2019s the hype about? Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019ve come to the right place to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is JumpCloud?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start at the beginning. JumpCloud offers organizations of all sizes a better way to manage their technology through an open directory platform<\/a>. This enables IT organizations to support their entire team by managing and connecting them to the technology they need to do their jobs including systems, applications, files, and networks. Because it\u2019s all user-based, this solution fits the IT needs of teams from the smallest of startups to enterprise organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive into some of the core benefits that organizations experience when using JumpCloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Make Work Happen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud\u2019s vision is to help its customers Make Work Happen for their teams. When technology is working as it should, it makes lives better and more productive. Yet we all know the pain when tech fails us. Forgotten logins, not being able to access the tools you need to do your job, or even more serious security risks threaten business as usual. Not to mention, it drives everyone in the organization crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud connects an organization\u2019s users to those technology components so that they can get their work done faster and easier. That means more productivity for organizations<\/a>, and more time with family and friends for end users. IT software is meant to streamline work, not bottleneck it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Freedom of Choice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Being productive is about using the best tools for the job. You may have already guessed, but here\u2019s a fact: We think JumpCloud is the best cloud directory platform. Yet, that\u2019s where our suggestions on what technology your organization should use stops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

End users know what the right solutions are to get their jobs done most effectively. IT organizations that can support a wide range of tools\u2014regardless of vendor or platform\u2014are more successful with their team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a happier, more productive team means IT admins are doing something right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we help you support the tech your team needs. JumpCloud is cross platform, multi-protocol, provider agnostic, and location independent. In short, you and your team are in control, not a vendor that wants to drive you to buy more of their ancillary services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Control & Visibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Enabling the team \u2014 check. But it\u2019s equally essential that IT admins can still manage the technology that they\u2019re delivering to the rest of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does that look like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
