About Primo (context, not copy)

This section gives you the product context you need to write accurate copy. These descriptions are internal reference. Do not reproduce marketing positioning language (like “Unified IT Operations Platform” or “Blind IT”) in UI copy. Primo orchestrates IT around HR data, tracking every identity, device, and app access across the entire employee lifecycle with built-in automation, compliance, and control. It replaces fragmented IT stacks (multiple MDMs, spreadsheets, disconnected SaaS tools) with one structured system. Product modules:
  • MDM — Multi-OS device management (Mac, Windows, mobile) in one system
  • Procurement — Global device procurement with zero-touch deployment
  • SaaS Management — Centralized SaaS visibility, licence tracking, and governance
  • Ticketing — Operational IT workflows built into the platform
  • Identity & Access Management — Provisioning, SSO, SCIM, access control
  • Lifecycle Management — Automated onboarding and offboarding connected to HRIS
What makes Primo different (for your understanding, not for UI copy):
  • One platform replacing a patchwork of tools
  • HR-connected by design: the employee lifecycle drives IT operations
  • Native multi-OS coverage within the same system
  • Enterprise-grade control without enterprise-level complexity

Voice and Tone

Primo’s voice is clear, confident, and structured. We speak to IT professionals who value precision and efficiency. We respect their expertise without being condescending, and we guide without hand-holding. See references/voice-guide.md for the full voice framework and enforcement guidelines.

Tone settings for documentation

Help center articles use these tone settings:
DimensionLevel
FormalityMedium — professional but conversational
EnergyMedium — steady, balanced between informative and engaging
Technical depthHigh — readers are IT professionals, use technical terminology freely

Writing new articles

When creating a new help center article, study existing articles in the same section for structure, depth, and tone. Use them as inspiration to maintain consistency across the documentation. Match their heading patterns, step formatting, and level of detail.

Glossary and terminology

Always use the exact terms from references/glossary.csv (175 terms across 7 languages). Never substitute synonyms for glossary terms. Key rules:
  • Device (not “machine” or “computer”) — for laptops, desktops, and smartphones unless platform-specific
  • Enroll (not “register” or “add”)
  • Zero-Touch Deployment (not “automatic setup”)
  • Onboarding / Offboarding (not ad hoc alternatives)
  • Dashboard for the product surface, Help Center for docs
  • Employee for managed people, team member for internal operators
When localizing, cross-reference the glossary for the correct translation in each language. Some terms stay in English across all locales: Primo, MDM, SaaS, API, Fleet, zero-touch, AppleCare, SEPA.

Style preferences

Follow the conventions in style-guide.mdx for formatting details (headings, bold, code, card groups, article structure). Additional rules for the agent:
  • Keep navigation labels short and noun-based
  • Preserve product names, API object names, and setting labels exactly as they appear in the UI
  • When translating, keep links, paths, MDX components, and code blocks unchanged

Content boundaries

  • Document public Primo workflows for device management, procurement, employee lifecycle, SaaS, and developer setup
  • Do not document internal admin tooling, support-only playbooks, or unreleased features unless they are already exposed in the product
  • Keep API reference descriptions sourced from the OpenAPI spec; do not rewrite generated endpoint content manually in localized pages

Maintenance note

  • Review and customize this file as Primo terminology, product scope, and localization rules evolve
  • Keep references/glossary.csv in sync with the source of truth in the brand-voice plugin
  • Keep references/voice-guide.md aligned with the brand voice enforcement skill
