How is Tranquil IT reorganizing itself to work from home?
If you follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn, you may have noticed that Tranquil IT has a very strong gregarious culture. We enjoy being together in both peak moments and times of celebration.
Anticipating the announcement of the lockdown, we began to reorganize ourselves. We had to implement remote work! Discover the tools we used to survive this change in our company culture.
And yes, spoiler alert: We survived remote work, everyone is doing well!
Organizing ourselves to adapt to working from home
Having to reorganize for remote work should not be an excuse to lose sight of our commitments. At Tranquil IT, we aimed to adapt while upholding our values:
- Firstly, ensuring well-accomplished work that brings individual and collective satisfaction.
- Acting on disruptive paradigms and delivering useful solutions for the benefit of the majority.
- And finally: Being happy together (even remotely) by participating in a unique entrepreneurial adventure.
As you can see, we chose to see the glass half full! Given the urgency, we focused on working quickly and effectively! Luckily, we had our own solutions for this: WAPT for managing IT fleets and Samba-AD to secure our network access!
In no time, Simon, Jimmy, and Alexandre created WAPT packages for solutions that would ensure everyone’s ability to work remotely. The deployment across all teleworking computers went smoothly. Between our software store and the WAPT Self Service for users, we ensured our team would be operational from day one!
Everyone thus went home with either a company laptop or their own work NUC. Each received their own headset. Cindy even left with the company credit card! This way, no employee could raid their supermarket’s “Toilet Paper” aisle—at least not on the company’s dime.

Organizing work tasks to take advantage of everyones skills
- Jimmy, Amélie, Bertrand and Vincent have put their attention on correcting, and improving public and private WAPT packages. They are collaborating at a distance to create model packages for Linux, that we are currently lacking to accompany the superb newness that cale with WAPT 1.8 : WAPT for Linux.
- Evan and Octave are working on the heart of WAPT, its transition to Python3, and access control lists in the WAPT console, and many other functions that you will soon benefit from if you are using our Enterprise version.
- Simon “packages” our remote control tool, a companion integrated into WAPT Enterprise that will allow your IT support teams to collaborate more easily and efficiently with your users.
- Kevin develops tools around our ERP system to improve our overall operations, customer service and management reporting.
- Our two Camille’s, Elle, our American (her named is pronounced like “Elly”) and Emmanuel are perfecting our communication and marketing actions. They are working with Hexatrust and the government to offer WAPT to all the business and administration that have been affected by the confinement. They are offering WAPT Enterprise free of charge until the end of this crisis. This means that you can also benefit from WAPT Enterprise for free if you’re in this situation!
- All of this emulation takes place with Yohannès and Alexandre who reign with their expertise on Mumble cybersecurity and Samba AD.
- We can’t forget Hubert, who has been at home since February due to a back operation that went well! Hubert maintains his warrior spirit by carrying out projects that he holds close to his heart, whether they are in line or not with the company’s interests. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to his return to the team!
- Finally, there is Cindy, who takes care of everything else! Which is a lot, and we’d like to spotlight her role as a team builder, hats off to her for all her hard work!
- As for Denis and I, we are observing the explosion of ideas and initiatives that come from the amused amazement of forty-year-olds.
