CSC Smart Start
Accelerate Your Journey to the Cloud.
CSC Smart Start is a hands-on proof-of-concept (PoC) program that lets you test drive the cloud, minimize risk and avoid capital investments — even for an on-premises private cloud — while discovering the benefits of the cloud.
Gain Experience to Make Informed Decisions:
- Validate Your Cloud Assumptions
- Test Your Cloud Adoption Strategies
- Accelerate Your Time to Cloud
