Post workshop presentation that contains:

• A requirements specification of what must be part of the PoC
• A draft of the architecture, complete with a design and cost estimate of the solution
• The solution will then be deployed in Azure as soon as the customer accepts the parameters

WEEK TWO: Pilot week Deploy and start a pilot

• The Move consultant that is responsible for the customer presents the pilot to the customer
