Background<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OneFootball<\/a> is on a mission to bring the world of football closer to every fan, delivering news, live scores, match highlights, and original content from over 200 leagues worldwide. The platform’s success in delivering a seamless fan experience relies on its ability to combine media, technology, and personalization at scale. However, as the company scaled, managing separate access to nearly 100+ applications and Synology NAS for its hybrid workforce became a significant bottleneck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To fuel innovation and operational velocity, OneFootball needed a way to centralize identity, reduce manual overhead, and eliminate access friction\u2014a challenge they tackled by partnering with JumpCloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some key impacts at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Onboarding Time Cut by 89%<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Time Spent on Manual Tasks Reduced by 90%<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Access Issues Reduced by over 75%<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Security Posture Improved by 150% <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n As OneFootball scaled, the complexity of managing a diverse ecosystem became overwhelming. Their operational setup revolved around Google Workspace and an on-premises Synology NAS for file storage. This created a critical identity problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n OneFootball recognized that centralizing identity was the key to scaling securely and reducing friction. While other vendors, including Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, were considered, JumpCloud immediately stood out as the more comprehensive and cost-effective solution. Key differentiators included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014Ali Mofidi, It and Security Lead, OneFootball JumpCloud’s implementation transformed IT efficiency and the employee experience by functioning as the essential identity layer on top of Google Workspace. This powerful partnership delivered significant results across all operational areas by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The solution to the NAS friction was JumpCloud’s LDAP-as-a-Service. By connecting the NAS to JumpCloud, OneFootball eliminated legacy login problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud’s deep integration with Google Workspace allowed for the deployment of Dynamic Groups. This feature automatically assigns users to the correct teams, applications, and permission sets based on attributes, eliminating an entire category of repetitive IT tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This automation delivered instant, measurable gains in three key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Employee Experience & Efficiency:<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The integration delivered a smoother, more predictable experience. Employees now rely on one password, one identity, and consistent MFA across applications. This resulted in 80% faster onboarding<\/strong>, since user creation in Google Workspace automatically syncs with JumpCloud. New hires receive immediate access to tools on Day 1 without needing separate credentials for the NAS, apps, or VPN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Automated Device Lifecycle:<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Leveraging JumpCloud\u2019s Zero-Touch Deployment<\/strong>, OneFootball can now ship hardware directly to remote hires who become fully operational within minutes of unboxing. Once deployed, automated Patch Management<\/strong> ensures these devices remain secure and updated against vulnerabilities without any manual IT intervention.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Security & Compliance:<\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The security posture improved through enforced MFA and password policies. Offboarding is now reliable, immediate, and error-free. The team experienced fewer unauthorized access attempts<\/strong> and reduced security risks caused by incorrect or outdated access.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n IT Visibility & Reporting:<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n IT saved over 10 hours each month<\/strong> on access reviews due to clear visibility of group memberships. Reporting accuracy improved by 30%, reducing time spent reconciling multiple systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n We love that JumpCloud seamlessly integrates with Google Workspace. Since Google Workspace sits at the center of the company\u2019s operations, having JumpCloud function as an identity layer on top of it meant we could unify authentication, device management, and application access under a single source of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014Ali Mofidi, It and Security Lead, OneFootball<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
