## Intro Someone in the office has decided Alumio is the solution to your problems. But before you start solving your existing problems, you now have one extra, how do you use Alumio? There’s no need to buckle up, this topic will get you started. ## New environment In your new environment there are a couple of example transformers, connections and a route.
