On June 15th, 2022, JumpCloud\u2019s 2022 State of the SME IT Admin Report<\/a> was released. This is the third annual report that JumpCloud has commissioned, and it contains data from responses collected from 506 U.S. IT professionals and 501 U.K. IT professionals that work across a wide variety of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of this report is to check in on the overall state of the 2022 IT admin, which includes finding areas of both struggle and success. This information is essential for the organizations themselves, as well as third party vendors, clients, and all other stakeholders that are connected to IT to understand so that improvements can be made wherever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than guessing or assuming what\u2019s going on, getting authentic responses and information from real people makes it a lot easier to prioritize, make decisions, and change direction based on the most recent and relevant data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, comparing data from the current year to past years can be eye opening when trying to gauge whether certain initiatives made a positive\/neutral\/negative difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
