Getting Started with Turbine

The basics of Electric's Turbine platform!

Updated over a week ago

Introduction

Turbine is designed to provide an all-encompassing view of your company's IT environment. We know that the better you understand Turbine, the better enabled you are to leverage all of its features. This article will provide a high-level overview of how to navigate Turbine's main toolbar, as well as provide information about how this platform can be used and who at your company has access to it.

What does Turbine do?

At Electric, we want customers to feel empowered to make strategic IT decisions and thanks to Turbine, they can. Turbine is Electric's platform, designed to empower you to facilitate company-wide IT tasks, submit onboarding/offboarding requests, and more. When you sign in to Turbine, you'll have a centralized view into:

  • Historical and active user ticket data for comprehensive IT reporting.

  • Your company's overall IT health and suggested areas for improvement.

  • Default configurations for your company, including email, applications, and department-level settings.

  • New hire and termination details to support a seamless onboarding and offboarding.

  • Device-level security, operating system, and hardware data to promote company-wide device standardization.

Who has Turbine Access?

Your Turbine workspace will be managed by a designated Turbine Owner at your company. During new customer implementation and throughout your partnership with Electric, the Owner will have the option to provide Turbine access to other people via other Turbine roles.

Turbine may contain information about your company that is sensitive in nature, therefore it is not intended to be accessed by all employees.

Navigating Turbine

When you sign in to Turbine, you'll land on the IT Scorecard page. From here you can utilize the toolbar on the left to navigate to other pages within the application. Below, each page and its function is described briefly.

IT Scorecard

Your company’s IT Scorecard allows you to easily digest key information about your IT health. In doing so, both technical and non-technical users are empowered to make well-informed and proactive IT decisions. Your unique IT Scorecard will be available within 30 business days of the installation of Electric’s device management software on Electric-managed devices.
