Winshuttle strongly recommends developing a proof of concept and demonstrating fit for your intended users BEFORE creating a solution intended for a production environment.

Often, developing the proof of concept will also reveal new challenges or limitations as to what can be accomplished.

Demonstrating a proof-of-concept should clearly show that your solution will fulfill business needs, solves a problem, and streamlines work for your users.

The proof-of-concept demo will also be what you use to get final approval from final approval from the users who will be using the solution you are developing.
