Accenture and OpenAI have announced a major strategic partnership designed to fast-track enterprise AI adoption, enabling global companies to integrate agentic AI systems, automation, and ChatGPT Enterprise into their core business processes. The collaboration aims to help organisations unlock faster innovation, operational efficiency, and large-scale digital transformation.
As part of the agreement, Accenture has named OpenAI one of its primary AI innovation partners and will deploy ChatGPT Enterprise to tens of thousands of employees across consulting, operations, and delivery teams. The company will also build the industry’s largest pool of professionals certified through OpenAI’s official AI training and certifications, strengthening its position as a global leader in enterprise AI services.
To accelerate client transformation, Accenture and OpenAI are launching a new flagship enterprise AI programme, combining OpenAI’s models and platforms with Accenture’s industry expertise. The initiative will provide businesses with implementation roadmaps, security best practices, and real-world use-cases tailored to sectors such as financial services, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and telecommunications.
A key focus of the partnership is the development of AI-first solutions for corporate functions including:
- Customer service automation
- Supply chain optimisation
- Finance and risk management
- HR and workforce productivity
Accenture will leverage tools such as OpenAI AgentKit to help companies design, test, and deploy custom AI agents capable of automating complex workflows and supporting strategic decision-making.
In addition to supporting clients, Accenture is partnering with OpenAI to help scale OpenAI’s own business operations—co-designing global front-office and back-office functions powered by advanced AI technologies. With this collaboration, Accenture aims to become the leading enterprise partner for trusted, scalable, and secure AI transformation, helping organisations worldwide integrate AI into every layer of their business.
