# A 3-step process from idea to implementation!

## <mark style="background-color:purple;">Piloting DPI via DaaS is now a simple 3-step process!</mark>&#x20;

1. Countries can choose the use case they want to pilot after reviewing the available products.
2. Have conversations with CDPI, DPGs, and ecosystem market players to understand and procure the DPI DaaS package.
3. Configure it to their systems and infrastructure with the help of pre-trained Service providers who can support (along with the DPG) building local capacity for long term scale and sustainability of the DPI.

## How DaaS Solves Speed, Cost, Data Ownership, and Capacity Constraints

The **benefits** of the DaaS approach are manifold:&#x20;

1. Significantly <mark style="color:green;">**faster**</mark> rollout.
2. <mark style="color:green;">**Less costly**</mark> due to minimal upfront costs, smaller teams, and use of open-source components.
3. <mark style="color:green;">**Clear government ownership**</mark> of the core IP of the system, data, and cloud instance.
4. Significantly <mark style="color:green;">**reduced tech capacity requirements**</mark><mark style="color:green;">.</mark>&#x20;
5. Ability to shift from input-based (capex) to <mark style="color:green;">**outcome (opex) based costing**</mark>, allowing organisations to pay per user rather than for each input cost.&#x20;
6. Can help <mark style="color:green;">**tackle incumbency issues**</mark> to demonstrate proof of concept as a convincing argument.&#x20;
7. <mark style="color:green;">**Provides the flexibility to engage one or more service providers simultaneously.**</mark>
8. <mark style="color:green;">**Choice of clouds and portability.**</mark>
9. <mark style="color:green;">**Achieve scale and speed**</mark> to de-risk churn and changes within the system.
