Proofs of Concepts (POC)

This is your chance to explore a concept with deep-dive demos and a test plan! Within just a few hours, or over the course of several days, you’ll know if your concept has the potential for real-world application. If your POC is successful, you may choose to conduct additional testing via a pilot before moving the solution into production.

Pilots and Sandbox Environments

Whether you bring your own tech or choose to leverage any of our industry-leading partners, we’ll help you with product comparisons, design validation, benchmarking, multi-vendor solution evaluations and more!

Each pilot includes an initial rollout of a system into simulated production, targeting a limited scope of the intended final solution. If the pilot is successful, you can move the environment into production and deploy it to your end-users.

Our sandbox environments allow you to conduct break/fix testing, explore new ideas, examine alternate configurations, and gain hands-on experience with technologies outside of your normal operating environment.

Testing as a Service (TaaS) Solutions

Leveraging TaaS Solutions can help you offload expensive, time-consuming internal testing processes, accelerate the development of new products and services, generate new sources of revenue, and decrease the overall time to market.

Our experts will manage the entire testing process, including comparison, functional, unit, performance, benchmark, stress, upgrade, migration and end-to-end testing, so you can focus on your core business.

Assessments

We conduct an in-depth and objective review of your current state, identify gaps within industry best practices, highlight redundancies and inefficiencies, determine potential risks, and make recommendations that align with your desired outcomes. You’ll walk away with a strategy to deliver long-term success by minimizing risk in the face of change!
