"OpenAI is enlisting some of the world's biggest consulting firms in its fight to dominate the enterprise AI market.Today the AI company announced partnerships with Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey & Company, Accenture, and Capgemini that will see the consulting firms helping to sell and implement OpenAI's new Frontier AI agent platform. The consultants will help their clients redesign workflows, integrate AI agents with software tools and systems, help clients with change management, and provide industry-specific expertise OpenAI doesn't have in-house."
"Frontier, which OpenAI debuted earlier this month, is a system that allows businesses and organizations to build, deploy, supervise, and govern AI agents. It is part of OpenAI's effort to seize momentum in the enterprise AI market from its arch rival Anthropic, which over the past year has made substantial inroads in the business market with its Claude Code and, more recently, its Claude Cowork products."
"These SaaS vendors have also been trying to roll out AI agent platforms. But in the past month, investors have punished their shares over concerns that customers will choose OpenAI's and Anthropic's new AI agent products over those from the SaaS vendors, or that customers may even use AI coding tools, such as OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude Code, to build their own software, eliminating the need for the SaaS products altogether."
OpenAI formed partnerships with Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey & Company, Accenture, and Capgemini to have those firms sell and implement its Frontier AI agent platform. The consulting firms will redesign workflows, integrate AI agents with existing software and systems, assist with change management, and provide industry-specific expertise not available in-house. Frontier enables businesses to build, deploy, supervise, and govern AI agents and targets enterprise market share against Anthropic. The alliances could disrupt established SaaS vendors that rely on systems integrators, while investors have expressed concern over customers adopting third-party agent products or building software using AI coding tools.
