What makes ElevenLabs Forward Deployed Engineers different from traditional AI consulting firms?

Our Forward Deployed Engineers don’t just advise - they build. Because ElevenLabs develops the underlying voice and agent technology, we bring direct product expertise to every engagement. This means faster deployment, deeper integration, and measurable results from day one.

How long does a typical deployment take when working with Forward Deployed Engineers?

Most engagements move from scoping to live deployment within 4 - 8 weeks, depending on integration complexity and client sign-off. Our team prioritizes speed to value while maintaining rigorous testing, governance, and compliance standards.

How do you measure success after deployment?

Each engagement is tied to clear KPIs such as resolution rate, CSAT improvement, or cost per resolution reduction. We remain accountable beyond launch - monitoring, optimizing, and iterating until results are achieved.

Can you work within our existing systems and data stack?

Yes. Our Forward Deployed Engineers integrate AI agents directly into your existing CRMs, contact centers, APIs, and data sources - minimizing disruption and ensuring your current infrastructure remains the foundation for AI operations.

How do you ensure data security and compliance?

We adhere to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA standards. Deployments can be configured with zero-data-retention to meet your security, privacy, and data residency requirements.

Launch enterprise AI agents that deliver value faster

Leverage the implementation expertise of ElevenLabs Forward Deployed Engineers to reduce time to deploy and turn AI initiatives into measurable business outcomes - from system design and integrations to change management, scaling and compliance.

Why enterprise AI is hard to get right

Capability gap

AI can transform revenue and margins, but scaling reliable agents requires more than ambition. Without human-led oversight, iteration, and feedback loops, even high-potential initiatives lose momentum before delivering measurable impact.

System fragmentation

Siloed data and disconnected workflows make automation complex. Achieving reliable performance and measurable results requires unified systems and data sources, and coordination between human and AI-driven processes.

Trust barriers

Security, compliance, and stakeholder confidence are non-negotiable. Without strong governance, data control, and transparency from day one, organizations face approval delays and reputational risk that undermine transformation efforts.
