From Vision to Reality

Turn Ideas Into Business Value With Our Application POC

GET STARTED
CHALLENGES

Small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) want to accelerate innovation in their digital experiences, but often lack the in-house resources specialized in building applications using the latest technology or best practices. 

Additionally, compatibility issues with existing systems may arise, further complicating the integration process. 

Don’t let these challenges stop you from driving your business forward; let Metal Toad help with their Application Proof of Concept.

The METAL TOAD Solution 

The Metal Toad Application Proof of Concept (POC) is a preliminary demonstration or prototype of a software application, feature, or integration, created to validate its feasibility and potential business value before investing in full-scale development. 

Metal Toad's expertise translates into a POC that is often delivered faster and with higher quality based on the latest best practices.

Through Metal Toad, clients receive several benefits, including:

 

Risk Mitigation

Identifies potential technical challenges, limitations, and risks early in the development process. Allows teams to address and mitigate issues before committing to full-scale development, reducing the risk of project failure.

Feasibility Assessment

Assesses the feasibility of the proposed application, ensuring that the desired functionality can be achieved. Determines whether the technology stack, tools, and methodologies chosen for development are appropriate.

Proof of Value

It demonstrates the viability and value of the proposed solution to stakeholders and provides tangible evidence that the application can meet its intended objectives.

METAL TOAD ENGAGEMENT

Metal Toad will work hand in hand with your team to execute against the following key aspects in a successful Application POC:

  • Define Objectives and Scope: Clearly outline the objectives of the new feature, specifying the problems it aims to solve or improvements it seeks to bring.
  • Technology Considerations: Align on the appropriate technologies and tools for developing the POC, aligning with the existing tech stack and future scalability.
  • Design Architecture: Develop a high-level architecture design, illustrating how the new feature integrates with the existing application and any external systems.
  • Prototyping: Create a basic prototype showcasing the core functionalities of the new feature. This may involve wireframes, mockups, or a minimal working model.
  • Cost for Full Scale : If the decision is to move forward, create a detailed plan for building the new application or implementing the new feature incorporating lessons learned from the POC.
  • Handover and Support: Provide necessary documentation and support for the transition of the POC to the customer as they get ready for the full-scale implementation.

BUSINESS PROBLEM

Like many businesses, Evergent possessed a wealth of data but needed help transforming it into meaningful insights. The challenge was to analyze diverse datasets and answer critical business questions efficiently. The existing data analysis approach was time-consuming, taking days or weeks, and required more agility for fast-paced decision-making. 

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

As part of the Proof of Concept, Metal Toad evaluated datasets and reporting requirements alongside Evergent’s Data engineers to ensure the diverse datasets were appropriately processed and structured for effective presentation in AWS Quicksight. 
This involved designing and evaluating ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes to streamline the data flow from its raw form to a format suitable for Quicksight's visualization.

IMPACT

Metal Toad and Evergent established a collaborative and iterative process that validated the data structure and the process to  provide meaningful business insights.  This proof of concept laid the foundation for Evergent to continue on with their journey to be a sustainable, data-driven decision-making organization.
