At konnectus we have the good fortune to work with many medium to large organisations across different sectors and develop the optimal AV technology solutions to meet their specific needs. Our experience from working with our customers has taught us many things and if there is one single process that always leads to positive outcomes it would be to take the time to conduct a Proof of Concept (POC) before investing in a large rollout or investment in new AV technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a POC? Well it should be first made clear that a POC is not a Trial site or Pilot. A POC is exactly what it says it is in its name. It is a proof to test a particular technology or solution, which appears to make sense on paper. A POC is generally a small investment and has specific goals and objectives that are to be tested. If the POC is deemed successful then the next step would be a larger investment in a Trial site or Pilot.<\/span><\/p>\n

When should a POC be considered, and how long should it last? A POC is not always required for every planned Audio Visual technology<\/a> investment. However, when a large rollout or implementation is being planned we would always recommend that some time be taken to conduct a POC of between 2-4 weeks depending on the type of AV technology<\/a> being considered, and how many people need to trial and provide feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have found that some of the stronger reasons for conducting a POC of AV technology solutions include:<\/span><\/p>\n
