Sam talked about how, like with so much in the development world, the response to many Azure Cognitive Services questions is "It Depends". This is where the truly great consultants excel. If a consultant gives you a cookie cutter answer, you should expected a lot of crummy results. A good consultant will say "it depends" and then LISTENS, creating a custom solution for you. That's what we do at ILM - you'll never get a cookie-cutter solution. Please visit ilmservice.com today to find out why, and how to work with some of our consultants!
