# Proof of Concept (PoC)

1. **Create a free Acho account** 

Acho Studio is free to sign up. Please go to the [home page](https://acho.io/) and click on "Start for free", or on any of the sign up buttons to create a free account. The account creation does require a business email. Please let us know if you run into any issues.

2. **Add a Resource**&#x20;

The account creation process should be pretty simple. As of 07/01/2024, you may run into an interactive tutorial. If you want to skip the tutorial, simply **refresh the page**.&#x20;

After that, you should be in Acho Studio's Resource page. Here, you can find the business system to connect for the Proof of Concept.&#x20;

For some advanced integrations, please hit "**Submit"** button so our Solution Engineer can set up the integration for you.&#x20;
