IT Admins Most Concerned By Tool Sprawl, External Threats And Security
Cloudtech, Tuesday, September 12,2023
JumpCloud Inc.'s newest (SME) IT Trends Report, 'Flexibility and Ingenuity: What's Powering Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise IT Management in 2023', shows that just after SMEs successfully established the new workplace normal following the pandemic, significant turbulence in the greater macroeconomic environment has threatened to upend the system again.
Instead of lockdowns and supply chain shortages, businesses now deal with layoffs and recession fears on top of external threats growing in sophistication, regulatory and compliance pressures heating up, and increasingly complex IT tool sprawl.
JumpCloud commissioned this biannual survey of SME IT admins to gain unique insights into the day-to-day experiences of IT professionals who power and secure operations without enterprise-level budgets and staff. The most recent survey results, polled from admins in the US, UK, and France, highlight that while IT teams are successfully managing the workplace, they need an IT environment built around an open directory platform.
