Product Development & piloting
What technologies should I be piloting, and how?
How do I select the right vendors and minimize risks during operations?
How do I move from piloting to implemantation?
UrbanSense’s Product Development & Piloting service involves implementing a small-scale, preliminary version of a proposed solution to evaluate vendor options, feasibility, performance, and potential impact before a full-scale rollout. This approach allows organizations to test and refine innovations in controlled environments, ensuring that the final product aligns with user needs and organizational goals.
