Set up new devices without lifting a finger.

Ordering, configuring and distributing laptops should not take hours of IT time.

With LeftBrain’s zero-touch deployment, devices are delivered directly to your team — pre-configured, secured and ready to go.

No cables. No manual setup. No IT team needed onsite. Just power on and start working.

What is zero-touch deployment?

Zero-touch deployment is a modern provisioning method where laptops and other devices are shipped directly to users and automatically configured on first boot.

This means they are:

• Enrolled in your management system
• Preloaded with the right apps
• Locked down to your security policies
• Ready for use without anyone from IT needing to touch the machine

It is fast, secure and perfect for distributed teams or businesses scaling fast.

Why it matters

Setting up a single laptop manually can take 30 to 60 minutes. Multiply that by 10, 50 or 100 team members and the time cost adds up quickly.

Manual setup also introduces risk:

• Missed security controls
• Inconsistent app versions
• Forgotten updates or user accounts
• Delays that leave new hires waiting on day one

With zero-touch, every device arrives ready to go, configured to your exact standards and policies.

What we do

LeftBrain designs and manages your entire device deployment process, from purchasing to configuration and post-delivery support.

Step 1: Discovery and planning

We work with you to understand:

• What devices your team uses
• What apps and permissions are needed
• What your current policies and security requirements are
• How onboarding currently works — and where it is painful

Step 2: Set up your MDM

We configure a mobile device management (MDM) platform that fits your business.

This allows us to remotely manage:

• Software installation and updates
• Security settings
• Device encryption
• Remote wipe and lock
• Admin permissions

We commonly work with tools like Jamf, Kandji, Intune and Google Endpoint Management.

Step 3: Build your zero-touch deployment profiles

We create profiles for different roles, departments or office locations. Each profile defines:

• What software is installed
• What permissions are granted
• What security settings are applied
• Which networks and drives are accessible

These profiles are applied automatically when a new device is turned on.

Step 4: Ship and go

Devices are shipped directly to team members or office locations.

No local setup is needed. Users log in and the machine configures itself.

We provide clear onboarding instructions and support for day one access.

“Since working with LeftBrain, our onboarding process has become considerably faster. We used to sometimes manually set up 30 laptops at a time, with each laptop taking anywhere between 30 and 45 minutes. With LeftBrain’s zero-touch deployment, we often just hand a new member of staff a box with their laptop in it. It’s saved me a lot of time (and my sanity!)”
