Over the last two decades, we’ve seen several waves of software deployment models, from on-prem to SaaS to bespoke platforms. With each wave came new deployment roles: implementation managers, solution engineers, and forward-deployed engineers.

Now, we believe a new phase is emerging: one defined not by implementing software, but by deploying intelligence.
