Start here ## Overview Welcome to Turbo360. This article tells you exactly where to go next based on what you're trying to accomplish, so you spend less time navigating the documentation and more time getting value from the platform. ### Business value Turbo360 has five modules that address different operational problems. Starting with the right one means your team sees value within hours of setup, not days. ## How it works Turbo360 connects to your Azure environment through a service principal. Once connected, you activate the modules relevant to your team. Each module is self-contained; you don't need to configure all five to get value from any one of them. The platform covers five distinct use cases: - **Cost Analyzer:** understand and control Azure spend - **Business Applications:** monitor Azure resources as grouped solutions - **Business Activity Monitoring:** track business transactions end to end - **Azure Documenter:** generate documentation of your Azure environment automatically - **Tenant Manager:** manage Microsoft 365 licenses, users, and Microsoft Entra ID groups across your tenants ## Step 1: Set up your account If you haven't already, complete the core setup before activating any module. 1. [Create your Turbo360 account](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/create-turbo360-account) and sign in. 2. [Complete initial setup](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/initial-setup): configure your organization and invite your team. 3. [Set up a service principal](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/service-principal-setup) and [connect your Azure subscription](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/connect-azure-subscription). These three steps are prerequisites for every Turbo360 module except Tenant Manager, which connects to Microsoft 365 tenants instead. ## Step 2: Choose your first module Not sure which module to start with?
