Discovery and PoC to Support Business Processes Optimization
Optimizing existing business processes can be a daunting challenge. Jumping into it without certainty of success can lead to costly mistakes and wasted resources. That’s why we recommend starting with a Discovery Phase and Proof of Concepts (PoCs) when looking to optimize your processes.
A PoC is highly valuable for optimizing existing business processes. It serves as a small-scale initiative designed to demonstrate how specific improvements or technological changes can enhance efficiency and effectiveness. This practical tool enables you to gather valuable insights and test potential enhancements, ensuring that proposed changes will deliver tangible benefits before committing to full-scale implementations.
Before changing business processes, it's essential to gather insights around complexity, improvement opportunity and risks of these changes. An assessment of these parameters in combination with a PoC allows you to test your proposed process improvements, confirming their viability before committing resources. This helps you identify unforeseen challenges, such as technical roadblocks, delays, unexpected costs, or even potential failures.
Explore and Confirm Feasibility
A PoC provides an early opportunity to validate complexity, identify additional risks, and to confirm the improvement opportunity with the business process stakeholders.
Boost Confidence in Project Viability
With a PoC, you gain tangible insights into your concept's strengths and scalability, empowering you to make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.

How to Maximize Business Value with a PoC?
By starting with a Discovery Phase and Proof of Concept, you reduce risk and increase your chances of success. They offer a low-cost, low-commitment opportunity to validate ideas, overcome challenges, and make informed decisions before moving forward with a full-scale project.
Low-Risk, High-Reward: Test ideas and solutions in a controlled environment before making significant investments.
Strengthen Buy-In and Collaboration: Involving key stakeholders early in the process optimization, ensures that the project reflects diverse perspectives and addresses critical needs. This collaborative approach builds support, enhances alignment, and increases the likelihood of long-term success.
Accelerate Time-to-Value: Early validation allows businesses to move forward confidently or pivot as needed, reducing the time spent on full-scale development for unproven concepts and speeding up the path to realizing value.
At Cloudway, we adopt a consultative approach to a Discovery phase. Rather than simply providing a service, we partner with you to collaboratively explore solutions, ensuring that each step delivers greater business value.
1. Analyse and Focus It is unrealistic to enhance all business processes simultaneously. Instead, we will analyze the current IT landscape and business processes to assess their complexity, identify improvement opportunities, and evaluate associated risks. Using these insights, we will determine the focus for our initial improvement iteration.
2. Explore and Confirm Feasibility Before initiating an improvement iteration, we must ensure that our assessments of complexity, improvement opportunities, and risks are accurate. We will validate these assessments through a Proof of Concept (PoC), which will provide insights into both complexity and risk, while also offering stakeholders a clear view of the improvement opportunities.
3. Project planning and Return on Investment We transform the feedback into a project planning including development cost, timeline, and operational cost which will help you get insights into your Return on Investment.
4. Execute! With a clear plan, we will begin development to optimize your business processes. Our approach involves collaborating closely with your internal teams and integrating seamlessly with your systems to deliver a fully enhanced business process that benefits both your employees and customers.
