With things going digital, workplaces that mold themselves according to employee’s needs and requirements are in great demand. The way homes embrace smart technology to control temperature and lighting, manage home security and boast connected physical devices, workplaces too need to adapt to the digital shift to make the day-to-day job easier.
Smart office assistants are completely retransforming the way task is performed at the offices. Small and medium businesses are continuously facing challenges regarding productivity. Tasks like managing calendars, dialing in to meetings, checking emails, reserving conference rooms, searching for information, and reporting problems consume time, and divert employee’s minds from core duties. Wouldn’t it be great, if all these could be solved simply by using voice?
To help companies manage their small day-to-day tasks, BizCloud Experts implement voice-activated devices by using Alexa for Business and create a hi-tech hybrid workplace with the human touch. We make offices to use your voice to interact with technology and spontaneously get the required help in a natural way. We improve overall office space with the best management tools so that employees work smarter, better, and faster.
What Is Alexa For Business?
Launched in November 2017, Alexa for business is the managed service delivered by AWS with three main components:
- A set of management tools
- APIs to integrate with existing IT applications and infrastructure
- Echo devices
Alexa for Business makes it easy for you to use Alexa devices at your organization. It gives you the tool which you need to manage Alexa devices, enroll your users, and assign skills. You can build and develop your own context-aware voice skills using the Alexa skill kit and the Alexa for Business APIs. You can make this available as a private skill of your organization. You can also make your product and services voice-enabled and can provide a voice experience to customers.
Features:
