OpenAI is expanding the deployment of its Frontier platform, designed to build, manage, and run AI coworkers capable of completing real enterprise tasks. Frontier allows AI agents to operate across systems and data, such as resolving customer issues end-to-end using CRM context, filing updates, and escalating only when necessary, providing a foundation for scalable AI-driven workflows.
To accelerate adoption, OpenAI today announced its Frontier Alliances with global consulting leaders Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey & Company, Accenture, and Capgemini. These multi-year partnerships will help enterprises integrate AI coworkers across strategy, systems, workflows, and change management, ensuring adoption delivers measurable business impact.
Strategy and Transformation Expertise
McKinsey & Company brings deep experience in enterprise operating model redesign and AI integration through its AI arm QuantumBlack. The firm focuses on aligning leadership, embedding intelligence into workflows, and scaling agentic AI across high-value operations. Bob Sternfels, McKinsey Global Managing Partner, emphasized that CEOs must rewire their businesses to capture real value from agentic AI.
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) leverages BCG X to combine technology, functional expertise, and industry insight, guiding clients to redesign processes, deploy AI, and drive adoption with aligned incentives and governance. Christoph Schweizer, BCG CEO, noted that AI transformations must be embedded in strategy and operations to deliver sustained outcomes.
End-to-End Implementation
Accenture and Capgemini focus on integrating Frontier into enterprise systems, ensuring secure, reliable, and scalable deployment. Accenture supports AI adoption across customer lifecycles, modernizing data architectures, and upskilling professionals via OpenAI Certifications. Capgemini brings sector-specific solutions, cloud and data modernization expertise, and lifecycle support to ensure consistent, organization-wide agent deployment.
Julie Sweet, Accenture Chair and CEO, highlighted that transformation requires more than models—it needs full execution across technology, data, and change management. Aiman Ezzat, Capgemini CEO, stressed that the partnership positions the firm at the forefront of AI-driven enterprise transformation.
Driving Enterprise Impact
The Frontier Alliance partners will collaborate with OpenAI’s Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team, combining product expertise with global delivery and change management capabilities. Together, they aim to help organizations scale AI coworkers, embed agentic AI into workflows, and achieve measurable business outcomes across industries.
Frontier is currently available to a limited set of enterprise customers, with broader access planned over the coming months. Organizations interested in exploring AI coworkers can reach out to OpenAI for engagement.
