AI Prototype

Helping customers to quantify the return on investment for a Microsoft AI solution.

What is the AI Prototype?

The AI Prototype offers a hands-on experience with Microsoft AI technology solutions by creating practical simulations. This involves building a prototype that showcases the capabilities of Microsoft AI services, for a specific use case for your organisation, allowing customers to measure the return on investment.

The process includes providing insights into the risks and considerations associated with deploying the use case in a production environment. Our team of experts will provide ongoing support to ensure that the prototype aligns with end-user needs and business objectives. 

AI Prototype Objectives:

  • Provide you with a practical simulation of Microsoft AI technology solutions to measure the return on investment for a given use case.
  • Build a prototype asset which can span one or more Microsoft AI technology services to demonstrate technological capability.
  • Help customers mitigate the risks when deploying a use case to production within their environment.
  • Understand whether the prototype meets the needs of the end user as well as the business drivers.

Prototype Phases:

Define

Our experts will work with you to gain insight into the use case scope by conducting stakeholder interviews, workshops, and technical readiness sessions. Optionally, conduct a design sprint to refine and enhance the use case.

Prototype

The process involves an iterative build of the prototype asset, with teams engaging in regular sync-ups, discussions, and feedback sessions. The goal is to collaboratively enhance the prototype, ensuring it is ready for the upcoming pilot phase.

Pilot

This phase involves assisting the customer in adopting and planning for the pilot. The team presents findings that include production considerations and risks. Active support is provided during the pilot of the use case, employing both quantitative and qualitative research to identify and address user needs.
