Onboarding Users & Devices

Onboarding Users & Devices

Onboarding users and devices in short

Onboarding makes sure a new team member, a new device or an employee changing roles has the right tools, permissions and licences from day one. Solid Systems offers three options: new user onboarding, which sets up identity, access, a company email address and a Microsoft 365 licence; device setup, covering setup, security and installation; and advanced or onsite support for printers, VPNs, third-party apps, backup, restore and testing.

Whether you’ve got a new team member coming in, a new device that needs to be setup, or even an existing employee switching roles, you want to make sure that they have the right tools, permissions and licenses to succeed. This is where our onboarding and setup solutions come in.

We offer a range of different onboarding options to suit any scenario:

  • New User Onboarding: Give your new hire the identity, permissions and access to company resources such as a new company email address and a Microsoft 365 license. This is perfect solution for all new employees, whether they’re going to be using their own device or a company one.
  • Device Setup: Make sure that your teams have access to the tools that they need to succeed. Whether you’re getting a new device, or want to switch a computer or laptop from one team member to another, we can help with your setup, security and installation needs.
  • Advanced or Onsite Support: Every now and then, you may need us to come into your (home) offices to make sure that devices are setup with other equipment like printers and VPNs. Our onsite support even includes the installation of specific third-party apps that your company uses, backup, restore and testing to make sure that all of your data & apps are working perfectly.
