New Computer Setup

A new computer should be ready to work on day one. PXLA handles setup end to end so nothing is missing when it's handed over.

Overview

A brand-new computer straight out of the box still needs a lot of work before it's actually ready for someone to use: accounts, security settings, business applications, printer and network access, and often data transferred from an old device.

PXLA handles the full setup process — not just the basics, but the security configuration and application setup that make the difference between 'technically working' and 'actually ready for this specific employee's job.'

This applies equally to a single new hire's laptop and a batch of computers for an office refresh — the process scales without cutting corners on either.

Every new device gets the same baseline protection, not whatever got remembered.

No Lost Data

Transfers from old devices are handled carefully, not left to the employee.
