Workstation setup
A new employee’s first day goes better when their computer is ready: signed in, connected, and set up with the tools they’ll use. We prepare business computers with the accounts, approved applications, and peripherals each person needs.
What’s included
Every engagement is scoped to your situation. Depending on what you need, this can include:
- Setting up computers and approved applications for new employees.
- Configuring business email and user accounts.
- Connecting monitors, docks, printers, and other peripherals.
- Checking that the employee can sign in and reach the tools they need.
How an engagement works

We confirm the person’s role, the applications they need, and the accounts to create or connect.
Prepare the computer

We connect monitors, docks, and other peripherals at the desk.
Check sign-in and access
We confirm the employee can sign in and open what they need, and note anything left to finish.

- A summary of the applications installed and accounts configured, as applicable.
- Notes on anything still pending, such as a license or an approval.
Agreed separately or not included

Questions
Can you set up computers we’ve already bought?
Yes. Tell us the make and model and what the employee needs, and we’ll plan the setup from there.
Do you set up computers on-site?
We can work on-site in Worcester and Central Massachusetts, or prepare parts of the setup remotely when that’s practical.
What do you need from us before setup?
The employee’s name and role, the applications they’ll use, who can approve new accounts, and any licenses you’ve already purchased.
