Virtual assistants at work are still new features and have a lot to improve. 
The more features we have, the more we want new features.
In small environments we have "noise" between virtual assistants, making use inappropriate.
But in more distributed environments it is very good.
We still have a lot to learn (both, us and our Alexas).

Alternatives Considered
Discontinued Products
We looked at two other alternatives: Google Nest and Apple. But Alexa already has popular devices that many people on the team already had in their homes. And it would be easier to integrate into the professional environment. The cost of Amazon products is also much lower, which makes the product more competitive.
