Proof of Concept
"... project was approved by Littlewoods after an initial cost of only £5,000 to prove the concept. I would recommend this pilot-based approach to anyone who wants to make a real difference but thinks they are constrained by lack of budget..."

The development of a Proof of Concept (PoC) model can be an invaluable aid in demonstrating how a piece of software may satisfy a specific business requirement.
These 'cut-down' versions of the final reporting or modelling application can be built rapidly and at a fraction of the cost of the full implementation, allowing an organisation to test particular issues of functionality or performance, using their own data, to a level that no standard sales demo can.
ICit always strongly recommend the use of the pilots during the software selection process, prior to investment in a particular product but they can also be extremely useful where the software solution is already well established and a new application for it needs to be explored.
Conducting a pilot project allows an organisation to become comfortable with the experience and suitability of the service provider as well as the software! A successful implementation is as much dependent on the effectiveness of the consultancy as the software, which is why ICit are confident that you will find this process extremely beneficial. |
