To keep competitive edge, organizations need to keep pace with the changing technological advances. Pulling out resources from existing projects has its own implications on revenues, knowing that the R&D could have different results from what was originally planned. COMM-IT comes in here to help organizations in Research and building Proof-Of-Concepts that could provide you with the blue print for planning. It also provides visibility to the management for better decision making and give financial decisions to move ahead with the project.

Development of a POC system provided us with many benefits, which including:

Very clear understanding of requirements. Understanding of the capabilities and limitations of new technologies. Ability to assess design decisions early in the process. Ability for the customer to visualize early on the look-and-feel of the solution. Reduction in the overall risk of project failure.

Critical-Thinking Questions

What software-development process are you using? How does the possibility of a POC system fit in with it?

What is the nature of the POC system for the project at hand? Are you developing an application with a user interface, an API that will be used by third-party developers, or a product that is defined by your marketing team? What key features must go into the POC? What features can safely be left out? What aspects of the design must be evaluated and tested, to ensure that the correct decisions have been made? What new technologies are being incorporated into your project? How can they be used in the POC system?
