You'll be involved in the Request for Information (RFI) and the Request for Proposal (RFP), after which you'll be in charge of the Proof of Concept (POC) process. In collaboration with the analysts, you further develop the prototype until it meets all their requirements, only then do you implement the tool. Afterward, you stay involved and ensure that everything continues to function optimally.
