Full cloud alternative to legacy solutions reduces costs and IT work, while increasing user productivity and security<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n LOUISVILLE, Colo. \u2014 April 24, 2023 \u2014 <\/strong>JumpCloud Inc.<\/a> today announced it is partnering with Google Cloud on a new joint offering that enables businesses to combine Google Workspace with the open directory platform provided by JumpCloud to strengthen their security and how they manage hybrid workforces. Organizations now have an open, cloud-forward, and secure alternative to single vendor, legacy solutions. They also have the freedom and flexibility to move to modern, cloud-based solutions to support hybrid work and mixed platform environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs businesses continue to shift toward hybrid work models, IT teams must evaluate which tools enable them to securely optimize workforce productivity at scale,\u201d said Kevin Ichhpurani, corporate vice president, global partner ecosystem & channels, Google Cloud. \u201cGlobal organizations can now combine Google Workspace\u2019s innovative communications capabilities with JumpCloud\u2019s device management and directory services, providing IT teams with a modern collaboration solution that is flexible and can evolve with their business\u2019 needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Google Workspace and JumpCloud package combines collaboration and productivity, directory services, device management, single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and more in a single offering. Organizations have the freedom to choose best-in-class devices, applications, and infrastructure providers without vendor lock-in and high fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cClosed, legacy, and on-premises systems are rigid, making it nearly impossible for organizations to modernize with cloud solutions,\u201d said Greg Keller, co-founder and chief strategy officer, JumpCloud. \u201cOur partnership with Google Cloud gives IT teams an open, modern, and affordable solution to ensure their workforces can collaborate effectively with Google Workspace and any IT resource from any location from a trusted device.
