JumpCloud partners with Google to launch productivity and IT management solution

JumpCloud, an Access Management Company has partnered with Google to allow businesses merge Google Workspace with JumpCloud's open directory platform. The move will help businesses strengthen their security and improve how they manage hybrid workforces.

It’s the perfect alternative for businesses looking to replace their traditional legacy systems with an open, cloud-forward, and secure solution that’s not from a single vendor.

“As businesses continue to shift toward hybrid work models, IT teams must evaluate which tools enable them to securely optimise workforce productivity at scale,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, Vice President of Global Partner Ecosystem and channels, Google Cloud.

“Global organisations can now combine Google Workspace’s innovative communications capabilities with JumpCloud’s device management and directory services, providing IT teams with a modern collaboration solution that is flexible and can evolve with their business’ needs.”

With this joint offering customers get collaboration and productivity, directory services, device management, single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA) and more in a single solution.

“Closed, legacy and on-premises systems are rigid, making it nearly impossible for organisations to modernise with cloud solutions,” said Greg Keller, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, JumpCloud.

“Our 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. This package also delivers a tremendous opportunity for Google Cloud’s channel partners, empowering them with a single, competitive solution for workforce collaboration, directory services and device management.”

Google Workspace and JumpCloud packages are available via Google Workspace resellers around the world.
