Ensuring that your vendor meets your needs is important enough that Jason Remillard of Data443 calls it “the main indicator of a failed POC.”

How do you know you’re dealing with a successful proof of concept? Remillard says that the vendor will have “confirmed customer requirements, documented them, re-validated them with the customer,” and gotten the customer to sign off on each requirement. This level of due diligence not only demonstrates that the vendor knows your needs, it “ensures everyone is focused on the right efforts,” and puts you in the right position to manage your relationship with the company that will aid your journey to becoming data-driven.

This level of vendor thoroughness makes for a successful proof of concept and sets you up for successful habits once you’re regularly using the program. With well-defined and agreed requirements, both parties have “something to reference,” which reduces possible confusion. According to Remillard, a document of established goals also streamlines the process and makes it amenable to change control.
