Short in time, these pre-sales consultancy engagements are strategic sessions where Virgil consultants facilitate on-site discussions and workshops with your staff to identify the business and technical drivers for implementing zero-client, browser-based streaming data solutions and define the scope of such initiatives.

Requirements analysis

The implementation of Virgil’s One™ product or Live™ solutions opens up new possibilities for how your business can use zero-client, low latency, streaming data technology in web browsers. Streaming data can now be easily made available to employees, business partners and customers in a fraction of the cost compared to legacy systems. In a joint effort, working towards understanding your specific business and operational needs, Virgil can ensure that you will reap the benefits of what One™ and/or Live™ has to offer.

Virgil’s ultimate goal is to understand and document client needs. Functional, non-functional, back- & front-end and constraint requirements will be thoroughly examined, allowing your organization to determine which course of action is most appropriate to solve or enhance your business processes.

Technical Review

Technical review services focus on the assessment of your solution architecture in the early stages of your project. By detecting potential problem areas early on, we will help you consider and shape a solid architecture foundation for your specific solution. We will help you to address an SOA-based solution where performance, scalability and maintainability are the important factors.

Streaming Data Analysis

As companies begin to focus more attention on the growing possibilities for streaming data solutions, a sound start often involves revisiting the data landscape. Each industry-specific offering for zero-client, low- latency, browser-based streaming data solutions calls for a specific approach whether it is for financial, call centre, transportation, logistics or GIS real-time, streaming data.

Virgil can help you determine the generic data requirements by audience, department and/or by processing function. Live™ being a data and industry agnostic product offering, we're able to provide an unbiased opinion on most common best practises across and within specific industries, in addition to Virgil’s proven expertise within the financial community.

Feasibility Review

The use of a feasibility document, which incorporates elements of both the requirements analysis and the technical review sessions, allow for a well-documented foundation to test a hypothesis or present options to management considering an implementation of Virgil solutions. This high-level analysis will not provide an in-depth solution description, but rather concentrate on detailed observations and recommendations. This engagement provides valuable discussion points and a framework to move forward. It is also meant to offer a low risk deliverable to evaluate Virgil’s product fit within your environment.

Proof of Concept

Based on your business and technical requirements, our experts will work with you to develop a proof of concept solution. This implementation will provide a targeted demonstration of the functionality of the core technology as it relates to your solution requirements. The proof of concept will provide sufficient detail to demonstrate the business and technical value of the products and allow you to validate the key technical components in order to mitigate perceived risk.
