When a business decides to partner with MapleTronics for IT support, the last thing they need is a full office shutdown or disruptive “big bang” transition. Our onboarding process is designed to be smooth, phased, and business-friendly, getting your IT environment under management without halting workflows. Here’s how we accomplish it!
Pre-Onboarding: The Behind-the-Scenes Prep
Before your official onboarding day, our team does the heavy lifting in advance. We provision systems, configure tools, and map out the phases needed to support your organization. This preparation ensures onboarding day is focused and efficient, not a scramble.
This upfront work means your staff continues business as usual while we get ready to step in seamlessly. No one’s waiting around for us to catch up.
Onboarding Day: Foundation Without Disruption
Onboarding Day kicks off the technical handoff. Depending on your setup, this typically includes:
Onsite or remote presence from our team (whatever works best for you)
Installing lightweight monitoring, security, and management agents (usually takes minutes per device)
Setting up any new equipment you need right away
Inventorying your existing IT gear
Confirming and updating key documentation
The focus is access, visibility, and foundation. Agents run quietly in the background. No one’s rebooting every machine at once or pulling cables. Your team keeps working while we establish the baseline to support you effectively.
Post-Onboarding: Gradual Enablement Over Weeks
Over the next few weeks, we roll out additional protections and optimizations:
Monitoring and alerting to catch issues early
Security tooling layered in thoughtfully
Automation and standardization for routine tasks
Changes that could impact users, like major updates, are scheduled and communicated ahead of time. Most enablements happen silently in the background, so you may not notice them day-to-day. And that’s the point: your business keeps running smoothly while we make things more resilient behind the scenes.
Why This Approach Works
Traditional IT transitions often mean “lights out” days or weekend heroics that stress everyone out. MapleTronics’ phased onboarding spreads the work over time, leverages pre-planning, and prioritizes minimal disruption. Your office stays open, phones keep ringing, and deadlines don’t slip.
The result of this process is a managed environment that feels like a natural extension of what you already do, with better stability and support from Day 1.
