Solution Accelerators solve customer problems quickly - they're packaged code that is ready to be personalized for the customer and deployed.

The accelerators are available for repeatable scenarios across industries and can be used in your Analytics & AI engagements.

The process and timeline outlined below outline how Solution Accelerators speed up your time-to-solution with your customer:

1. Demo (30 minutes) - Partner presents the demo of the Solution Accelerator to the customer
2. Proof of Value (3 hours or less) - Partner walks through GitHub repo of the Solution Accelerator to show how the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) can be built based on the customer’s dataset
3. MVP & Deployment (1-3 weeks) - MVP is built and deployed for the customer by the Partner
