An innovative idea has proven potential and is expanded to a pilot deployment
Several operating units at UBC are involved in the pilot
The innovation technology has passed (and may have been adjusted to meet) gating criteria to ensure possibility of wide deployment in the event of a successful pilot
This includes an assessment of the possible cost to operate the technology or service at full institutional deployment
Original innovator and UBC IT collaborate to provide and evaluate the pilot deployment
Pilot is deployed on UBC IT's operating platform (compute facilities, support resources, communication channels)
