JumpCloud the Open Directory Platform that helps IT teams Make (Remote) Work Happen, and Personio, Europe’s leading HR software company for small and mid-sized organizations, announced they are partnering to enable a simple, secure, and streamlined user experience for employees throughout the entire employee lifecycle.

workplace environment includes stiff competition for talent, rapid innovation in workplace tools, and an ever-increasing number of security threats. This convergence of factors puts pressure on organizations to deliver a premium user experience for employees. Despite having the same aims, often HR’s focus on people management operates entirely separately from IT’s focus on Secure, Frictionless Access to IT resources. This siloed approach creates a number of possible issues for organizations including operational delays, manual errors, dissatisfied users, inefficient onboarding, compliance challenges, and a negative impact to overall worker productivity. Personio and JumpCloud are both best of breed in each world, partnering to bridge HR and IT data streams and processes and unlock the potential of both HR and IT.

This partnership integrates JumpCloud’s Open Directory Platform with Personio’s HRIS solution to initiate identity lifecycle management tasks, which are performed automatically, fully, and consistently by JumpCloud based on the authoritative data provided by Personio. Now SMEs can increase productivity and improve workplace satisfaction through streamlined internal processes. These centralized workflows empower HR to continue to focus on managing the employee journey while IT can focus on strict access control without introducing friction to the end user.

“SME teams are tasked with the same responsibilities as their enterprise counterparts, but experience a greater fallout when unhappy employees leave and experience greater impact when employees’ productivity is constricted by processes and tools,” said Doug White, head of strategic alliances, JumpCloud. “With this integration, HR and IT can retain the control they need while mutually benefitting from centralized workloads and maintaining the ability to use the best cloud directory and HRIS solutions. SMEs can ensure their employees are happier, more productive, and more secure.”

“Europe’s SMEs are grappling with an ever-expanding range of software services that touch people’s data and processes, affecting the overall employee and as a result business success,” said Hugues Vincent, head of product partnerships, Personio. “Together, JumpCloud and Personio can streamline the employee experience and create new, more efficient ways for SMEs everywhere to scale.”
