Accenture (ACN) shares popped over 4% premarket on Monday as it announced a partnership with OpenAI to help enterprise clients integrate agentic AI systems into their core business operations.
As part of the agreement, Accenture will equip tens of thousands of its professionals with ChatGPT Enterprise, leveraging it in its consulting, operations, and delivery work, and will help OpenAI scale its capabilities to enterprises.
“By combining OpenAI 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,” said Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO of Accenture.
OpenAI will be one of Accenture’s primary AI partners for its next generation of AI-powered services. To extend the impact of their collaboration to clients, the companies are launching a new flagship AI program that combines OpenAI enterprise products with Accenture’s AI expertise and industry and function domain knowledge.
The program will equip Accenture with the latest OpenAI implementation playbooks, industry use-cases, security and deployment insights, and hands-on expertise to help clients adopt AI in real business workflows.
