OpenAI has announced Frontier Alliances, a new strategic partner initiative aimed at accelerating the enterprise adoption of AI coworkers. The program brings together leading global consulting and technology firms to help organizations deploy OpenAI’s Frontier platform across core business operations.
OpenAI says the initiative is designed to move AI adoption beyond pilots, enabling enterprises to design, integrate, and operate AI agents at scale.
What Is the Frontier Platform?
Frontier is OpenAI’s enterprise platform for building, deploying, and managing AI coworkers – agents capable of executing real tasks across business systems rather than operating in isolation.
A typical Frontier-powered AI coworker can:
- Retrieve context from CRM systems
- Check internal policies and documentation
- File updates across enterprise tools
- Escalate issues to human teams when required
OpenAI emphasizes that enterprise value from AI depends not just on model intelligence, but on how agents are embedded into workflows, systems, and operating models.
According to OpenAI, scaling AI coworkers requires more than technical infrastructure. Successful deployment depends on:
- Leadership alignment
- Workflow and operating model redesign
- Deep system integration
- Data coordination
- Change management across teams
Frontier Alliances are intended to address these challenges by combining OpenAI’s technology with enterprise transformation expertise.
Frontier Alliance Partners
OpenAI is entering multi-year partnerships with the following firms:
- Boston Consulting Group
- McKinsey & Company
- Accenture
- Capgemini
These partners will work alongside OpenAI’s Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team. Each firm is establishing dedicated OpenAI practice groups and building teams certified on OpenAI technology. OpenAI will provide technical resources, roadmap visibility, and access to product and research teams.
Partner Roles and Focus Areas
Strategy and Operating Model Transformation
McKinsey & Company
McKinsey will help leadership teams identify where to begin AI adoption, redesign operating models, and embed AI coworkers into daily work. Through QuantumBlack, its AI division, McKinsey combines technical AI capabilities with industry expertise to integrate agents into high-impact workflows.
