MiQ Digital<\/a> is a programmatic media partner that builds bespoke programmatic advertising solutions designed to help marketers and agencies make the smartest decisions for every campaign. They are experts in data science, analytics, and programmatic trading. The company, which is headquartered in the United Kingdom and has 15 global offices across four continents, employs more than 1,100 people around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needing a rapid solution for patch management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Apple released a patch for a serious zero-day exploit in September 2022, MiQ lacked an automated patching mechanism that would make it easy to shore up hundreds of Mac devices for its globally distributed team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, MiQ was using JumpCloud for device management. As the team began searching for a fast way to update all Mac machines, they realized that JumpCloud also had a patch management solution<\/a>. So, they reached out to Leo Zandi, JumpCloud\u2019s team lead of EMEA expansion, on WhatsApp for more details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though he was out of the office on holiday, Leo responded within minutes, and the JumpCloud and MiQ teams began rapidly working toward a solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a resilient tech stack in the AWS ecosystem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As they talked through their options, Leo suggested that it would be easier and more cost-effective for MiQ to procure JumpCloud through AWS Marketplace<\/a>. Since the MiQ team was trying to take advantage of AWS\u2019 Enterprise Discount Program \u2014 which provides discounts to organizations that spend a certain amount of money in the AWS Marketplace \u2014 this solution was a no-brainer for MiQ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always amazing to help a customer save money,\u201d Leo explains. \u201cWe obviously want to spoil our biggest customers, and MiQ is one of them, having been a customer for five years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since procuring JumpCloud through the AWS Marketplace, MiQ hasn\u2019t looked back. With that in mind, let\u2019s take a look at some of the ways the company has benefitted from building its tech stack inside AWS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cost savings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After solving their patch management<\/a> needs with JumpCloud, MiQ decided to further extend its commitment with the company by becoming a Platform Plus customer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur experience during that incident made us more interested in JumpCloud,\u201d says Akash Srivastava, Principal engineer at MiQ Digital India. By upgrading their subscription, \u201cwe were actually bumping up our contract significantly.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By procuring JumpCloud through AWS, MiQ was able to offset those costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust from a very selfish cost-savings perspective, buying JumpCloud through AWS was a very strong motivator because it helps us pass the commitment required for the Enterprise Discount Program,\u201d he continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liking the smooth experience AWS Marketplace delivers, the MiQ team now tries to procure everything in its tech stack the same way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we approach a new vendor, one of our key asks is: \u2018Are you on AWS Marketplace?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Due diligence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to procuring technology, companies need to spend a lot of time researching their options and doing their due diligence. That being the case, it\u2019s not uncommon for sales cycles to take several months \u2014 or even longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the MiQ team, the fact that a solution is available on AWS Marketplace gives them confidence that it\u2019s a quality product \u2014 even in the event a vendor doesn\u2019t have much of an industry presence \u2014 which makes their purchasing decisions easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAWS would not onboard every single company that wanted to be a part of its marketplace,\u201d says Chinna Babu T, Lead Cloud Engineer at MiQ. \u201cThey are a well-known player in the space, so if a vendor is on AWS Marketplace, we are confident that Amazon has already done a good amount of due diligence to bring them on.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While MiQ had already been working with JumpCloud for several years and was very happy with the relationship, the fact that the platform was available through AWS was another added bonus that gave them peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Simplified procurement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever purchased something on Amazon as a consumer, you know how easy it is to complete a transaction. AWS Marketplace delivers the same caliber of convenience to business buyers, providing smooth transactions over a familiar interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOutside of a marketplace, procurement can get more complicated,\u201d Akash says. \u201cAWS makes it easy for us to subscribe to software. We don\u2019t have to navigate multiple interfaces or deal with multiple vendors. Instead, AWS provides a centralized and simplified procurement process that makes life easier, and we can see all of our subscription and payment data in one place.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Technical interoperability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Currently, JumpCloud maintains 90 days\u2019 worth of user logs for audit trail purposes; customers can access that data via an in-product dashboard. Though the JumpCloud team is in the process of increasing the length of that activity history, MiQ wanted the ability to analyze 12 to 18 months\u2019 worth of user activity data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to AWS\u2019 technical interoperability capabilities, the team was able to make that happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing the JumpCloud integration with AWS, we piped our data into an S3 bucket and built our own internal product on top of that stream,\u201d Chinna explains. \u201cUsing JumpCloud\u2019s API, we can extract data constantly into AWS and have created our own dashboard which gives us a yearly view of our user data for internal purposes and compliance reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
