Why forward-deployed engineers should build capability, not dependency

Cohere discusses how forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) can build customer capability to avoid vendor lock-in, emphasizing co-building and knowledge transfer rather than creating operational dependency.

From the source

Our FDEs work alongside our customers’ engineering teams through architecture, integration, deployment, testing, and troubleshooting. This co-building approach helps transfer the tacit implementation knowledge that customer teams need to understand and operate the system themselves.
