Welcome

Thank you for choosing Glean! As an administrator, you play a crucial role in setting up Glean for your organization.

This guide will walk you through the process, providing step-by-step instructions for each stage of the setup.

Setup Stages

1

Prepare

Key information to review and prepare to help ensure an accurate and streamlined deployment of your company's Glean environment.

2

Build

The infrastructure for your Glean environment is deployed. If you are a Glean SaaS customer, Glean will take care of this for you.

If you are deploying Glean to your own GCP or AWS environment, you will prepare the environment for the build of your Glean environment.

3

Setup

Configure Single Sign-On (SSO), People Data sync, and integrate with each of the data sources that Glean will aggregate data from (M365, Slack, Jira, GitHub, etc).

4

Crawl & Learn

Your company's unique search algorithm created. While this is happening in the background you will be able to dive into the next section; completing pre-launch activities and readying your environment ahead of launch to your organization.

5

Prep for Launch

Conduct final preparations to ensure a successful launch of Glean. This includes deployment of the Glean Browser Extension, customization of company branding in the Glean UI, survey distribution to users, and preparing user communications.

6

Post-Launch

Post-launch activities to ensure users are effectively utilizing Glean and to gather feedback for continuous improvement.

Timeline

For a standard deployment, expect the end-to-end setup process to take approximately 1-3 weeks before your users can begin using Glean.

The largest factor in the timeline is the amount of content that needs to be synchronized from your existing data sources. Smaller organizations can expect this to complete in 1-2 weeks, while larger organizations should budget for 3-4+ weeks.
