Unsuccessful attempts to manage IT

Jocelyn, the co-founder and CTO of Faume, has always been passionate about IT. His experiences at My Little Paris and Running Hero taught him the importance of maintaining a straightforward IT organization to avoid chaos as the company grows. From the start, Jocelyn managed IT at Faume, working closely with his co-founder and CEO, who handles HR and finance.

To streamline IT with part of the team working remotely, Jocelyn initially leased reconditioned computers from Rzilient. However, after facing repeated malfunctions and realizing the high cost of leasing (€1,800 to €2,500 for a €1,200 computer), he decided to purchase directly from Apple.

Faume's employees use Macs to ensure simplified and secure fleet management. For tracking, Jocelyn used a regularly updated Notion page, but it only covered computers, not accessories.

Simple and centralized management

When Faume first met the Primo team, they recognized the need for a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution to manage their fleet of 30 computers, which was increasingly important for their clients.

Initially, they chose Jamf, but Primo's all-in-one approach quickly won them over. Jocelyn saw the benefits of integrating HR information with IT operations and the ability to oversee necessary actions.

With Primo, Jocelyn sets security policies directly from the dashboard, such as password rules and updates, and decides which applications to deploy and pre-configure on the computers.

On- & Offboarding managed with Primo

Using Primo, Jocelyn can efficiently prepare for new employees' arrival, ensuring their first day is smooth. When he orders through Primo, products are delivered within days across France. The next step is activating Zero-Touch Deployment, allowing computers to arrive pre-configured, a task Primo accomplishes in minutes.

Faume also manages employee departures better by remotely wiping computers and sending a shipping box to remote employees, eliminating the need for them to visit the office.

Thank you, Jocelyn. We look forward to supporting you in your next steps! 🚀

“Thanks to Primo, onboarding new employees now takes us half the time it used to.”
