Who We Are and What We Do
Ryan: Hello everyone and welcome to our little chat about how JumpCloud® transitioned from an in-office work model to a work from home (WFH) model in a very short period of time. I’m Ryan Bacon. I’m the IT Support Engineer for JumpCloud, and joining me is Noah Rosen, he’s the IT Support Technician at JumpCloud. Together we are the internal IT team.

We’re doing this because we know there are a number of organizations who have either rarely or never had their employees work remotely and we’re just doing what we can to help. There’s a lot of information out there, some good some bad, and it’s our hope to add to that good and helpful information.
