Proven and Efficient Project Management

The HP Intel CME Solution Center is able to host a number of customers in parallel. During the life of the Proof-of-Concept (PoC) that usually lasts one week to three months, each customer benefits from dedicated and secure spaces ensuring data confidentiality. Customers can also access each platform remotely through a dedicated network.

The Customer Project Document (CPD) serves as a central point of communication between you and the HP Intel CME Solution Center. After the stage of qualification but before the PoC , it contains information related to the tasks to accomplish during the PoC. During the PoC, it is enriched with the results of all tests being done. At the end of your stay, you will evaluate your visit with the CME Solution Center's staff, and the CPD is finalized in order to validate the achieved results.

Following a PoC, the solution can stay and be hosted in the CME Solution Center to be used by customers in pilot mode. For a limited period of time, the Solution Center will manage and operate the platform. The solution is fully monitored (both hardware and applications) and backed-up.
