AWS has announced a $1 billion investment to expand its Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) organization, placing thousands of AI engineers directly inside customer organizations to accelerate enterprise AI deployment.
Working alongside business, engineering, and security teams, these experts will co-develop and implement agentic AI solutions in days instead of months. AWS says the program focuses on building reusable AI capabilities, helping customers become self-sufficient rather than relying on long-term consulting engagements.
The initiative reflects AWS's broader strategy to speed production AI adoption through hands-on engineering collaboration and complements its growing portfolio of Amazon Bedrock and agentic AI services.
