Proof of Concept - On Customers System Remotely
The Proof of Concept provides real working evidence that the application can be web-enabled successfully. It also provides the visual evidence needed to make a sound business decision as to whether or not WebFacing provides the necessary return on investment. Appcon will provide access to the WebFacing Proof of Concept prototype via our website for up to 30 days. This allows you to "test drive" the application and avoids the cost of establishing the infrastructure to support WebFacing. This provides a conclusive means by which you can determine if WebFacing is the right solution for your company.
