Editorial process context
Do not start an application from this guide. Confirm a current intake with the official program operator first.
Submit DCC intake
Complete OCI's company intake so the business and proposed modernization need can be screened.
Scope the plan
Map workflows, software stack, bottlenecks, data risk, AI opportunities, and implementation priorities with an eligible advisor.
Receive approval
Confirm the OCI agreement and eligible project start date before beginning reimbursable work.
Deliver and claim
Complete the approved plan, pay eligible invoices, and submit required evidence for reimbursement.
Common Mistakes
Treating intake as approval
The intake form starts screening; it does not guarantee funding. Wait for the OCI agreement before eligible work begins.
Starting before approval
Start reimbursable work only after OCI confirms approval and the eligible project period.
Vague project scope
Even without DMAP funding, the assessment needs a specific operational scope: inventory, scheduling, CRM, accounting, security, or AI governance.
