As we have observed in the meta description that there are three full forms of POC. Each one is important so we will know about each one in this article. Let us start with POC which means People of colour. Except for people of colour it is known as a person of colour also. Generally, this term is used for identifying a person who is not white. This term originated in the USA. But then gradually this term was adopted by other countries also. The countries that adopted this term person of colour were associated with the Anglosphere. Somewhere this term people of colour is connected with systemic racism. This racism was faced by persons who are not white.
POC-People of Colour
POC means people of colour. Except for people of colour it is known as a person of colour also. Generally, this term is used for identifying a person who is not white. This term originated in the USA. But then gradually this term was adopted by other countries also. The countries that adopted this term person of colour were associated with the Anglosphere. Somewhere this term people of colour is connected with systemic racism. This racism was faced by persons who are not white. Whose colour is not white. That’s why this term originated in the USA because there was some kind of racism based on colour. Except for the person of Colour POC, there are some other terms also, which are quite strange to listen to. They don’t sound cool. Those terms are like the man of colour and women of colour. Yes, these are the terms. There is one more term, which was quite popular in terms of racism. That term is BIPOC. This term is usually used for individuals with black or dark skin. This is all about People of colour or people of colour.
POC – Point of Contact
Now we shall talk about another full form of POC. That is the point of contact. Point of contact means a person or an organisation, which is considered approachable for some kind of work or assistance. POC doesn’t signify a person only, it signifies department also. As we try to contact a department for some kind of work or some kind of assistance, that is considered as a point of contact. There is a team, which is specialised in the point of contact. That team is known as the duty team. This team would be the first interaction of any person visiting the place.
Like if any client visits a centre then she/he will interact with the duty team firstly. In a nutshell, the duty team establishes proper communication with the customers or clients. The duty team represents the company or organisation and communicates with the clients and customers as a representative of the company or organisation. If the duty team will communicate politely and effectively with the customers and clients, then it will leave a good and positive impression on the customer. This strategy can build a connection between customers and the organisation.
In the communication with clients and customers, the duty team tells them about the services provided by their company or organisation. This all leaves an impression on the mind of the customer. So this is all about point of contact. Point of contact is a popular term of business intelligence.
POC – Proof of concept
Now we will talk about another full form of POC. That is proof of concept. Proof of concept is used for analysing the capability of an idea. Various ideas run in our minds, but every idea is not that good on execution, so there is the use of proof of concept. If you have any idea, and you are unable to understand whether an idea is good or not. Then you can run your idea on POC. It will tell you about the framework of your idea. It will tell you about the capability of your idea. And this result by POC will help you to decide whether you should execute that idea or not. Your idea is realistic or not, this confusion will also be solved by POC. The feasibility of your idea can be ensured by running it on POC proof of concept. And it’s a great success from a business point of view. You can save your time by already knowing about the feasibility of your idea. Except for time, you will be able to save your money also. Now you will be wondering how you can save money by running an idea on POC. I’ll tell you how. When you will run your idea on POC, you will be able to know about the authenticity and feasibility of your idea, so if it will be below your expectations then obviously you will not invest your money in a below-average idea. This is how proof of concept is important from the business point of view.
There is one more advantage of proof of concept. Your idea can be evaluated by many stockholders. And this evaluation will give you a new exposure for your idea. You will be able to create many more effective ideas.
