1. Setting up the device and integrating it with your Infrastructure
A reliable IT vendor should handle the seamless setup and integration of your devices with your existing infrastructure. From configuring Wi-Fi networks to connecting printers and ensuring internet connectivity, they should take care of all the technical aspects, so you can focus on your core business operations.
2. Setup the Operating system with the right access policies – either through Active directory or otherwise.
Your IT vendor should be proficient in setting up the operating system with the right access policies, ensuring security and efficient user management. Whether it’s through Active Directory or other authentication mechanisms, they should establish a robust framework that aligns with your organization’s requirements.
3. Installing relevant productivity applications like – MS Office, mails, Anti-virus, VPN etc.
One of the standard deliverables from your IT vendor should be the installation of relevant productivity applications.
