Rapidly test and prototype your ideas
When a team at PSPC wants to test out new software or technology, it can take months to procure these essential items and the digital landscape has already changed.
We’ve shut down the waiting game with our Exploration Lab – a virtual sandbox where teams can access the latest software and equipment to rapidly test and prototype in an unclassified computing environment, including cloud services.
Our virtual Exploration Lab helps you bring your innovative ideas to the next level.
Testing, testing…
- Artificial Intelligence
- Azure cloud computing
- Chatbots

The Exploration Lab allows you to:
- Lower the cost, time and effort to explore new solutions
- Move your project from idea to production through fast experimentation and prototyping
- Collaborate with other departments, vendors, stakeholders and users – right in the Lab
- Test in a safe, unclassified computing environment, free of restrictions
- Rapidly iterate in an agile environment
Our clients are saying…
“The Exploration Lab helped us reduce the time, cost, and level of effort to build a proof of concept. Access to the Lab’s tools allowed us to test concepts very early on with stakeholders to ensure the end product would meet our objectives and those of our partners.“

If there is other software you’d like to test, let us know.
Cloud Computing
We offer Azure cloud computing services to allow you to:
- Create VM’s on the cloud – Windows, Linux, and more
- Create SQL services
- Access Microsoft services to prototype with Artificial Intelligence, like chatbots
- Easily collaborate with other government departments and external vendors in an unclassified environment
Ways to use the Exploration Lab
You need a safe space to experiment with a new product, service or release
We can provide a laptop to install software and VMs if you need more than one system to test.
You need advice on possible solutions to a business problem
We’ll assist and guide you as we explore cloud services or technical solutions together and seek out external expertise for help.
You want to test a cloud service but it doesn’t work inside the PSPC network
We’ll help you test and validate the cloud service on our fast, unrestricted network. With results in-hand, you will have a stronger business case moving forward.
You want to explore a technology with a vendor or other government department without providing them access to PSPC resources
You can come to the lab and explore tools collaboratively and securely.
