# 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cdpi.dev/initiatives/dpi-as-a-packaged-solution-daas/a-3-step-process-from-idea-to-implementation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
