Consulting and Professional Services for AVS
When we announced the general availability of Alexa Voice Service (AVS) for device makers in 2016, we realized that they needed more than just a cloud-based API to design, build, and launch their products in the market. We then started to engage with Chipset manufacturers, Systems Integrators (SI), and Original Design Manufacturers (ODM) to provide the technology and know-how that Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) needed to take their products to market successfully. While we have come a long way on that journey, the needs and demands of device makers have evolved as well. Device makers have expressed the desire to expand into new domains such as healthcare, hospitality, utilities, etc., and build new products and solutions to address these use cases.
Today, we are announcing the availability of Consulting and Professional Services (CPS) providers who have the expertise to help device makers take Alexa Built-in products from concept to reality. The CPS firms provide a range of services including consulting, prototyping, device design implementation, and large-scale solution implementation.
