How can your business benefit from ACK? Here are five things you need to know. ### 1. ACK can transform any product into a connected one. If you're wondering whether Alexa can be integrated into your products, the answer is yes. ACK allows you to add Alexa to any product — from coffee makers to artificial Christmas trees. ### 2. ACK includes everything you need to launch smart products. ACK uses an Amazon-managed system-on-module that you integrate into your product. In addition, the kit provides managed services, software, and tools you can use to develop and manage Alexa-connected smart products on an ongoing basis. ### 3. ACK offers cost certainty. The ACK module can be integrated into a product for a one-time fixed cost. Then, you pay a per-device fee that includes both the hardware module and continuous use of the ACK cloud service. ### 4. ACK accelerates time to market. With ACK, you won't have to build an [Alexa skill](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ7eIrOU3gw&feature=emb_title), manage a cloud service, mobile application, or create a network and security firmware to add Alexa to your products. Instead, ACK helps you quickly connect your products to the Internet and Alexa. ### 5. ACK enhances the customer experience. Thanks to ACK, your customers can use Alexa to control your products in the same way they control their Amazon Echo. The bottom line: you can use ACK to provide your customers with exceptional experiences. ## Want Voice-Enabled Smart Products?
