Accenture and OpenAI have announced an expanded partnership aimed at accelerating enterprise adoption of agentic AI, marking one of the largest corporate deployments of ChatGPT Enterprise to date.

Key Highlights

• Tens of thousands of Accenture professionals will gain access to ChatGPT Enterprise, making Accenture the single largest organization upskilled through OpenAI Certifications.

• OpenAI becomes one of Accenture’s primary strategic AI partners as the firm builds its next generation of AI-powered services.

• A new flagship AI client program launches, combining OpenAI’s enterprise technologies with Accenture’s deep industry expertise.

• Joint focus on bringing agentic AI into core business functions including customer service, finance, HR, supply chain and operations.

Accelerating Enterprise Reinvention

Under the expanded agreement, Accenture will embed ChatGPT Enterprise directly into its consulting, delivery and operations workflows. This broad rollout will enable Accenture teams to move faster, enhance decision-making and help clients implement advanced AI capabilities at scale.

Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO of Accenture, emphasized the impact of the partnership:

“By combining OpenAI’s breakthrough technologies with Accenture’s deep industry and functional expertise and global delivery capabilities, we will accelerate enterprise reinvention and business outcomes for our clients.”

OpenAI echoed this sentiment. Fidji Simo, CEO of Applications at OpenAI, stated:

“Accenture plays an important role in helping companies adopt the technologies that define each new era. We’re excited to partner with them to accelerate the AI transformation of the largest enterprises.”

Launching a New Flagship AI Client Program

To support enterprise adoption, Accenture and OpenAI are launching a new flagship AI client program. The program brings together:

• OpenAI’s enterprise products

• Accenture’s AI expertise

• Industry-specific use cases

• Deployment best practices

• Security and implementation insights

Accenture teams will gain early access to OpenAI’s playbooks, model advances and workflows to help clients integrate AI more deeply into real business operations.

A key component of this collaboration is OpenAI’s AgentKit, which Accenture will use to help organizations rapidly design and deploy custom AI agents that automate processes, augment human expertise and drive operational efficiency.

Driving AI Adoption Across Industries

The partnership aligns with OpenAI’s growing enterprise footprint. OpenAI is already collaborating with global leaders like Walmart, PayPal, Salesforce, Target, Morgan Stanley, BBVA and others.

With Accenture now equipping tens of thousands of its professionals with ChatGPT Enterprise—and guiding clients using new agentic AI capabilities—the collaboration is set to accelerate AI transformation across some of the world’s largest companies.
