ICON Innotech is chosen by many enterprises for software projects thanks to its unique implementation model that increases safety and the success rate of Proof of Concept (PoC) projects.

To learn more about this model, readers can refer to the article:

Typical implementation process

1. First online/offline meeting to collect requirements
2. Selecting a feature to implement (based on the spirit of Proof of Concept)
3. Signing the contract and developing the rest of the project using Agile/Scrum

Why is this model powerful?

The Proof of Concept model helps:

• Completely eliminate outsourcing risks, even when all operations are conducted fully online
• Allow international clients to fully verify technical capabilities despite geographical limitations
• Ensure transparency before any investment decision by the client

Because of this, ICON has created a very different position compared to other companies in Vietnam in recent years.
