Proof of Concept

Proof of concept is a method of testing a proposed design to
a) see if it works and
b) reduce the risk of implementing it after it has been signed off.

Resource

The problem with Proof-of-Concept (PoC) work is the expense. Small companies tend not to have “spare” hardware in an isolated environment that they can use in an experimental fashion without the risk of affecting the live systems. One solution is to use “Virtual” computers, that exist in software emulation. Depending on the nature of the testing, Comproco could help by running the test systems on our virtual servers, intended for PoCs.

Deployment

Another reason why PoCs can be prohibitively expensive is the maintenance of the systems. The idea is to test a design to destruction. However, once destroyed, it must be rebuilt, modified and tested again. Without an efficient deployment process, this can be time consuming and thus costly. Comproco can manage these deployments and reduce the associated costs.

Testing

Testing should be managed in a scientific and measurable way. It should be performed by subject matter experts and end users.
