16.6. Implement a Pilot

The pilot implementation is a lot like the proof of concept test, but the pilot involves actual end users. After you add end users to the equation, you start to get a really good sense of how seamless the NAC solution will be for users, how well your organization can deal with deployment problems, and whether the chosen vendor can meet your needs. At this point, don't deal with more than one vendor and treat the pilot implementation as the first step in a much larger rollout across the organization.
