Test Cormant DCIM with your own infrastructure data
A Cormant Proof of Concept is a hands-on technical validation—not a canned demo. Bring your own data covering 5 to 10 rows of racks alongside your toughest operational workflows. We spin up a secure, dedicated environment so your engineering team can test Cormant DCIM live against your real-world complexity and see how easily it replaces legacy tools.
Typically a 30-day or longer guided evaluation, scoped around your requirements and participation.
Evaluate real workflows, not a polished demo
Whether you are starting with spreadsheets, planning a broader data-center transformation or replacing a difficult legacy platform, a POC lets your team evaluate Cormant DCIM against the work that matters: trusted records, connectivity, capacity, reporting, workflow and field activity.
Start with your real-world data
Start with a useful sample—not a perfect production-ready data set. Excel, CSV exports, PDFs and bitmap floor plans can all help establish an evaluation scope.
Test the workflows your teams rely on
Involve administrators, planners, facilities teams and field users in the scenarios they need to complete every day.
Make a confident, informed decision
Review agreed success criteria, findings and next steps with a practical path from evaluation to production.
A structured evaluation with a real project environment
Align on outcomes
We agree the evaluation scope, the source data or infrastructure, the participating team and the success criteria before work begins.
Prepare and stage the sample
Cormant helps organize agreed source records, floor plans and relevant legacy exports for the POC. The objective is useful validation, not a perfect full migration.
Provide a dedicated environment
Your team receives a hosted Cormant project environment dedicated to the POC, with guided setup, handoff and training.
Validate real scenarios
Test the workflows that matter most: find and update assets, review rack and floor capacity, trace connections, create reports and assess day-to-day usability.
Review and plan the transition
At the close of the POC, review outcomes together and define the most practical next step toward production use.
You do not need perfect data to start
Many DCIM projects begin with incomplete spreadsheets, legacy exports and floor plans that have not been updated in years. Cormant helps identify the information needed for an initial model, then supports a phased approach as more data becomes available.
With Cormant's Excel import, teams can begin to see asset records, rack elevations, floor-plan views, capacity information and reports. Additional attributes, connectivity and integrations can be validated in the next phase.

Validate an alternative before another major commitment
Not every DCIM initiative begins with spreadsheet data. A Cormant DCIM POC is particularly valuable when an organization needs to move beyond an expensive, difficult-to-maintain or poorly adopted DCIM platform. Your team can see and test whether Cormant can model your infrastructure, support your users and fit the way your teams actually operate.
Cormant has supported successful DCIM migrations for global organizations moving away from legacy and discontinued platforms.
Choose the questions that matter to your operation
Every POC is scoped around agreed success criteria. That keeps the evaluation focused, measurable and useful for the people who will make the decision.
- Can we import and maintain our infrastructure records?
- Can teams find assets, connections and available capacity quickly?
- Can we visualize racks, rooms and floor plans without manual redraws?
- Can we support moves, adds, changes, approvals and field activity?
- Can Cormant integrate with our CMDB, ITSM, BMS or identity environment?
- Can we produce the reports and audit evidence our stakeholders need?
