Proof-of-concept evaluations

Platform Lab refers to "Proof-of-concept" evaluations as any type of test performed at the Lab when the client does not know if the end result will work in their production environment, so they choose to prove -- or disprove -- the solution at Platform Lab.

Prime examples include:

1. Proving your technology solution will work for your potential new client, when they do not want you proving it in their environment
2. Discovering the optimum infrastructure for your existing platforms -- at an independent test facility that does not have political stake in the outcome
3. Discovering what infrastructure in necessary to go from supporting 50 Citrix sessions with 200 users to 1000 Citrix session with 5000 users
4. Discovering what your web application looks like on 7 different operations system and 15 different browsers
5. Discovering the steps required to move from a Citrix to .NET environment
6. Discovering if that new expensive price of software/hardware will work as the vendor promised
7. Discovering if that new client-facing software application work prior to letting the client work with it
8. Discovering how well prepared your team is when you are getting hacked
9. Discovering how well protected your network during an ethical hack
