# Configuring Nexthink

This article describes the steps needed to deploy the Nexthink solution in a corporate setup. The process depends on multiple factors, such as the number of devices, the network infrastructure or the type of licenses. The exact procedure may vary from one company to another.

{% step %}
**Understand deployment prerequisites**

Familiarize yourself with Nexthink architecture, security and legal policies and [technical requirements](/platform/configuring_nexthink/before-you-begin/technical-requirements.md).

Find more details and references in [Before you begin](/platform/configuring_nexthink/before-you-begin.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Set up the Nexthink platform**

When launching Nexthink in your organization, Nexthink will send the license holder an email with important information that is personal to each customer.

See the [Setting up your Nexthink instance](/platform/configuring_nexthink/setting-up-the-platform-instance.md) page to learn what information you can expect in this email and how to use it.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Connect your IT environment to Nexthink**

Once your platform is set up, install and configure components to ensure data is imported into Nexthink. These components work together to collect information and provide the necessary context:

* **Endpoint agents**, such as [Nexthink Collector](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-collector/collector-overview.md#nexthink-collector), [VDI Client Extension](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-collector/collector-overview.md#vdi-client-extension) and [Nexthink Mobile app](broken://pages/xnGDhFENG1ftYo49waOw).
* **Browser extensions**, such as [Nexthink browser extension](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-the-nexthink-browser-extension.md) and [Amplify browser extension](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/configure-amplify/installation-and-configuration.md#installationandconfiguration-installingtheamplifybrowserextensioninstallamplify)
* **Inbound connectors**, such or [Connector for Microsoft Teams](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/integrating-nexthink-with-third-party-tools/inbound-connectors/connector-for-microsoft-teams.md) or [Intune Connector for Mobile devices](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/integrating-nexthink-with-third-party-tools/inbound-connectors/connector-for-intune-mobile-devices.md).

If needed, configure Nexthink to send data to external systems in your IT environment using [Webhooks](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/integrating-nexthink-with-third-party-tools/outbound-connectors/webhooks.md), [Data Exporters](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/integrating-nexthink-with-third-party-tools/outbound-connectors/data-exporters.md), or the [Nexthink API](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/integrating-nexthink-with-third-party-tools/nexthink-api.md).

The specific deployment scenario depends on your IT environment and Nexthink License. Refer to [Connecting your IT environment to Nexthink](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance.md) for more information.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Perform post-deployment steps**

Once the installation of Nexthink is complete, these are the most common activities that follow:

1. Configure your Nexthink instance as described in [Configuring your platform](/platform/configuring_nexthink/configuring-your-platform.md).
2. Create user roles and accounts as described in [Configuring accounts, system and content](/platform/configuring_nexthink/configuring-your-platform/administration.md).
3. Configure your content as described in the [User guide](/platform/user-guide.md).
