OpenAI has introduced Frontier Alliances, a new partner initiative designed to support enterprise deployment of AI coworkers. The program brings together global consulting and technology firms to help organizations implement OpenAI’s Frontier platform across business operations.
Frontier platform
Frontier is OpenAI’s platform for building, deploying, and managing AI coworkers that can execute real tasks across enterprise systems.
An example use case includes an AI coworker resolving a customer issue end-to-end by:
- Retrieving context from CRM systems
- Checking internal policies
- Filing updates
- Escalating cases when required
OpenAI states that enterprise value from AI depends not only on model capability but also on how agents are designed, integrated, and operated within organizations.
Beyond technical infrastructure, large-scale AI adoption requires leadership alignment, workflow redesign, system integration, data coordination, and change management to support usage across teams.
Frontier Alliance partners
OpenAI is entering multi-year partnerships with:
- Boston Consulting Group
- McKinsey & Company
- Accenture
- Capgemini
These partners will assist customers in defining AI strategy, integrating systems, redesigning workflows, and scaling deployment globally.
They will work alongside OpenAI’s Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team. Each firm is establishing dedicated practice groups and building teams certified on OpenAI technology. OpenAI will provide technical resources, roadmap visibility, and access to product and research teams.
Strategy and operating model transformation
McKinsey & Company
McKinsey will advise leadership teams on where to begin AI adoption, how to redesign operating models, and how to embed AI into day-to-day work.
Through QuantumBlack, its AI division, McKinsey combines technical AI capabilities with industry expertise to help clients redesign processes and integrate agents into high-value workflows.
Boston Consulting Group (BCG)
BCG will support enterprise AI programs by aligning strategy with operating model redesign, governance structures, and change management.
Through BCG X, its technology build and design unit, BCG will help organizations build, deploy, and drive adoption of AI across critical workflows.
End-to-end implementation and lifecycle support
Accenture
Accenture will deliver enterprise AI programs across the full lifecycle, including strategy development, enterprise data architecture modernization, scaled deployment, change management, and ongoing operations.
The company has equipped tens of thousands of its professionals with ChatGPT Enterprise, representing the largest number of professionals upskilled through OpenAI Certifications.
Capgemini
Capgemini will provide sector-specific expertise and implementation capabilities across cloud, applications, data, and modernization. The firm will help organizations embed Frontier across their operations and establish processes required to operate AI agents consistently at scale.
Availability
Frontier is currently available to a limited set of customers. Broader availability is expected in the coming months. Organizations interested in deploying Frontier can contact their OpenAI representatives.
