Technology/IT Proof-of-Concept

A proof-of-concept (POC), also known as a proof of principle, is a small test or exercise whose purpose is to ascertain if an approach, idea, or design has merit and thus potential for real world application.  A POC doesn't produce an actual solution, but instead provides confidence to proceed forward with implementing a design or insight to move in another direction.

POCs are a great vehicle to verify feasibility or usefulness of your proposed Factory Floor Technology/IT projects!

Why Perform a POC for Your Technology/IT Project(s)?

  • Validate a design or an idea before making an investment in something that could end in failure
  • Ensure requirements are fully understood by all involved parties
  • Establish alternative approaches that may lead to a better outcome
  • Validate technical requirements
  • Identify issues that might prevent success
  • Gain greater understanding of implementation/development efforts

Reasons to Outsource Your Technology/IT POC Projects

  • Elimination of risks associated with testing on a production environment
  • Elimination of hardware, software, and manpower costs required to develop and test a POC
  • Added value, gained from the perspective of an outside entity

Developing and executing a POC is not an easy task. It requires access to the right resources AND expertise. Persistent Technologies can economically provide you with both.
