Situation
A fast-growing AI company serving 20,000+ customers worldwide was expanding rapidly through acquisitions, bringing in global, remote engineering teams with strict security and performance requirements.
This created immediate challenges:
- A 3-person IT team needed to onboard hundreds of developers globally
- Shipping and managing laptops was slow, costly, and inconsistent
- Security risks increased when contractors retained access after projects ended
- The company wanted to avoid complex device management (Intune, Entra ID)
- Alternatives like Windows 365 proved too expensive for short-term, project-based teams
Result: Slow onboarding, higher security risk, and IT stretched beyond capacity.

The company deployed Workspot Cloud Desktops on AWS, integrated with JumpCloud.
