  • Looking for software coders, not infrastructure
  • Need the system for longer than it is being offered, or do not want to make (time) investment to use it
  • Want to use DAIR as a production environment
  • Want vast amounts of resources
  • Not a Small or Medium Enterprise (SME)

"The DAIR program was excellent for us. With it we were able to build a scalable cloud solution capable of expanding elastically to handle peak hours with a large number of concurrent requests. We have since moved to a commercial cloud and are ready to go to market with a robust product that represents an innovation in voice biometrics with applications in finance, proof-of-life, voice login, to e-commerce and security."
