This Integration is part of the Tidy Pack.#

Tidy#

Description:#

Usually, the main bottlenecks in an on-boarding process are the various software and programs required for the new recruit's computer. Whether if it's a developer, customer success engineer, or a product specialist, on average it takes about three days to get everything up and running. Also, this process generally requires help from other colleagues. The Tidy pack reduces the on-boarding process for new recruits to a matter of minutes. The Tidy pack uses Ansible to connect to the new recruit's laptop over ssh and executing predefined commands.

Main use cases#
