TestBed prepares the client to make educated purchase and resource
planning decisions around new technology, and transition from
evaluation to implementation. While technology solutions are designed
with the intent to be “one size fits all”, this is rarely the
case. The approach to new technologies tends to be reactive rather
than proactive, with organizations committing to a solution first and
adjusting later. An enhanced understanding of the potential
consequences that a particular technology may produce enables
enterprise IT customers to implement effective measures at the onset
as opposed to after-the-fact. TestBed provides guidance at the very
beginning of the technology acquisition process. TestBed establishes
the priorities and requirements of the client, identifies available
technology products, builds and maintains a virtual test environment
for those products, records both the positive and negative potential
each product poses to the client, and delivers an implementation
roadmap for the selected technology.
