Summary

Today, Twilio is announcing a significant update to the Twilio Build Partner Program, introducing `Twilio Professional Services`, which will work with existing `Twilio Consulting Partners` to help customers architect and deploy Twilio solutions with confidence. The company is also launching `Lightning Packages`, pre-defined consulting offerings that combine a structured delivery plan with existing IP to deliver value faster. With the help of Twilio Professional Services, every organization has access to the tools, resources, and expertise to build next-generation customer engagement. Over 300 Twilio Build Consulting Partners will provide domain experts, such as Contact Center, CRM or Collaboration, along with vertical segment expertise in industries including Public Sector, Healthcare and Retail. Customers can purchase services from Twilio Professional Services and Consulting Partners as Build Lightning Packages, which cover common use cases and can be tailored to their exact needs, such as Pilot, Quickstart, Launch, Assurance, Deliverability, Healthcheck, or email deliverability services like SendGrid's Deliverability Package. This update aims to level the playing field for organizations without developers available to build customer engagement solutions.
