As it bids to push further into the enterprise, OpenAI announced Monday that it has partnered with several large consulting firms.

Frontier Alliances, as the partner initiative is called, will involve work with Accenture, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Capgemini, and McKinsey & Co. The multi-year partnerships will “help customers define strategy, integrate systems, redesign workflows, and scale deployment globally,” the company said in a blog post.

The partners are expected to work alongside OpenAI’s forward deployed engineers to help implement AI agents within a client’s existing systems. The move is designed to aid the rollout of OpenAI’s Frontier product unveiled last month. Frontier is intended as a orchestration layer that connects AI agents from a range of suppliers to a customer’s business data and applications.

“Frontier provides the technical foundation,” said OpenAI. “But making real impact with AI also requires leadership alignment, workflow redesign, integration across systems and data, as well as the kind of change management that drives adoption.”

McKinsey and BCG “will help customers deploy AI across their organizations — building the strategy, operating model, and change management plan needed for sustained impact,” OpenAI said. Accenture and Capgemini will both advise customers on strategy and “help wire Frontier into the systems and data enterprises actually run on.”

Frontier is currently available to a limited number of customers, with wider availability expected in the “next few months,” said OpenAI.

Arun Chandrasekaran, distinguished vice president analyst at Gartner, sees the latest announcement as “yet another signal that OpenAI is doubling down on enterprise AI. Rather than selling models alone, OpenAI wants to be an AI platform and applications company, and is partnering with consulting providers to embed its technology into core business workflows and help engineer enterprise transformations with AI.

“OpenAI recognizes that technology alone doesn’t drive adoption, it’s critical to address organizational change management, governance and integration,” Chandrasekaran said.
