Colab In a Box Capabilities

What it is

Colab In a Box capabilities is a unique concept developed by Colab.

Developing capabilities can often be large, over-engineered, and slow, depending on the approach taken. From our experience in delivering projects for clients, they frequently request the capabilities we possess.

Colab has developed the concept of deploying a capability that comes “In a Box.” This means you simply unbox it, plug it into your environment’s “wall socket,” and start operating. It is time-boxed to limit scope and ensure operational results within a fixed period, allowing it to mature over time.

We’ve packaged some modular capabilities designed to be operational within 90 days. We then provide monthly oversight to ensure they deliver quality as intended, with the option to operate them as a managed service.

The process includes:

• Deploying the “In a Box” capability
• Creating visibility within 30 days
• Establishing accountability by day 60
• Ensuring operational progress by day 90

These capabilities are modular, meaning they can stack and build larger capabilities, but each module can also operate independently.
