New Computer Setups And Device Provisioning

Streamline Your New Computer Setups

We set up every new Mac and PC with your accounts, apps and security controls in place, so each new hire can start work on day one, as part of our fully managed IT service.

Every New Hire Adds Hours Of Setup

Are new computer setups taking up more time than you want them to? Unboxing, updates, accounts, apps, printers and security tools add up to hours for every new hire. TUCU offers streamlined device provisioning. Let us take that work off your plate.

Whether your team works in an office together or remotely across Canada, on Macs or PCs, we make new computer setups easy for growing teams like yours. Our in-house team has supported Toronto and Durham Region businesses since 2003, and the same technicians who set up your computers support them afterwards.

Let’s face it, nobody enjoys spending a new hire’s first morning watching a progress bar. People want to sign in, find their email and get to work. When the computer is ready before they arrive, their first day starts with the job instead of with IT.

We give you three ways to set up new computers, depending on the devices your team uses and the Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace licences you have. Each one ends with a computer that is configured, secured and ready for its user.

Three Ways We Set Up Your New Computers

Pick the option that matches your devices and licences. We can mix them for teams that use both Macs and PCs.

Endpoints — PC

Standard New Computer Setups

Suited to teams on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 Business Standard.

We give expert guidance on device selection, or order your organization’s preferred device type each time.

We set up the new user’s email and permissions and make sure the required apps are installed and configured. This includes data migration from previous devices, when required.

We complete any network, WiFi or printer setups.

Finally, we install the managed computer security tools included in your managed IT service with us.

Endpoints — Mac

Mac Computer Setups Via Apple Business Manager

Reduce new Mac setups from hours to minutes.

First we set up Apple Business Manager and your own Apple store.

Then we configure Mac security for your entire fleet of devices.

Now, Mac setups are simple and secure. New Macs arrive pre-configured, with security policies, applications and settings applied automatically. Staff unbox, power on and start working, while you keep complete security and compliance.

Endpoints — PC

Automated Device Provisioning For Microsoft 365 Business Premium Teams

Zero-touch deployment for Microsoft 365 Business Premium teams.

First we set up Intune and Autopilot for your organization and configure your security policies and baseline settings.

Then we build your standard device configurations and application deployments.

Now new device setups are streamlined and secure. When a device is powered on and connected to the internet, security policies, applications and configurations install without IT staff on site, though we do schedule an orientation appointment for each person. New hires are productive, with strong security from first boot.

* Requires Microsoft 365 Business Premium (or higher) licensing.

Benefits Of Automated New Computer Setups

Automated setups give you new computers that are:

Benefits Of Autopilot And Intune Device Provisioning

Device configuration directly affects your team’s productivity and security, so we take care with the process. While every option we offer improves your setup process and your security, this section focuses on PC provisioning with Microsoft 365 Business Premium.

Endpoints — PC

Zero-Touch Deployment

Devices are joined to your Microsoft Intune security systems before shipping. When a device is powered on and connected to the internet, it starts installing updates, applications and profiles on its own, usually finishing in 30 to 60 minutes with minimal input from the user.

Updates

Speed

Order before 11 a.m., and most devices arrive within 1 to 2 business days. We can ship devices directly to your office or to any Purolator pick up location near your employee’s home.

Updates

Consistency

Every device receives identical baseline configurations, so your environment stays standard and support stays simple.

Cybersecurity

Security

Security policies apply before the device is first used. That removes the window of exposure that a manual setup leaves open.

Identity Management

Smooth Onboarding

Devices arrive with your standard applications and security settings in place. A friendly technician walks each new hire through the device setup and a basic orientation to your IT resources.

Windows And Mac Expertise

We support both Windows and Mac environments with equal capability, and we configure devices properly the first time. Our technicians understand the details of each platform and keep security and functionality consistent, whatever the operating system. As an Apple Authorized Service Provider and a Microsoft Certified Partner since 2003, we know both sides well.

Apple Business Manager And Microsoft Intune

We implement the automation tools that make device provisioning scalable. For Mac-first teams, we set up Apple Business Manager for zero-touch Mac deployments. For Microsoft 365 Business Premium organizations, we configure Intune and Autopilot for automated Windows device provisioning. Both approaches remove manual setup work and make sure security policies apply from first boot.
