Capgemini partners with OpenAI to scale enterprise AI agents
Capgemini has entered a strategic partnership with OpenAI to help enterprises move from AI experimentation to real, scalable business impact. The collaboration centers on Frontier, OpenAI’s new platform for building and managing AI “coworkers” that can operate across the enterprise.
For eeNews Europe readers following the evolution of enterprise AI, cloud platforms, and large-scale digital transformation, the announcement highlights how AI agents are moving closer to production use. It also shows how systems integration, data readiness, and governance are becoming as critical as models and algorithms.
From pilots to enterprise-wide AI operations
As a founding member of the OpenAI Frontier Alliance, Capgemini aims to close what it calls the “AI opportunity gap” by tackling the practical barriers that prevent companies from scaling AI. These include fragmented data, legacy IT systems, unclear operating models, and organizational readiness.
Capgemini plans to combine its industry-specific process expertise, data and governance capabilities, and AI transformation assets with OpenAI’s Frontier platform. The goal is to help enterprises design, deploy, and run AI agents securely and reliably across multiple business units, rather than as isolated pilots.
According to the partners, 2026 is shaping up to be a turning point for enterprise AI adoption. While more than half of organizations are committing to multi-year AI investments, many leaders now see the main bottleneck as integration and execution, not the underlying technology. This shift is pushing demand toward end-to-end transformation capabilities that span strategy, operations, and IT.
“Our multi-year partnership with Capgemini will help bring AI coworkers to enterprises,” said Brad Lightcap, Chief Operating Officer at OpenAI. “Capgemini’s transformation and global delivery expertise alongside OpenAI’s research and product leadership will help close the gap between what frontier AI can do and what businesses can actually deploy with agents.”
Building a global Frontier delivery engine
As part of the alliance, Capgemini will establish a large-scale OpenAI Enterprise Frontier delivery function, bringing together AI specialists from across its global organization. Moreover, this team will work closely with OpenAI’s Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) group to support customers as they transition from experimentation to production deployments.
The partners say the focus will be on creating next-generation AI operating processes and multi-agent workflows that accelerate time-to-value while maintaining governance and quality. Industry-specific solutions are expected for sectors such as consumer products and retail, financial services, life sciences, and energy and utilities.
“Our strategic partnership with OpenAI on the Frontier platform strengthens our position at the forefront of AI-powered enterprise transformation,” said Aiman Ezzat, CEO of Capgemini. “By combining our domain expertise and assets with OpenAI’s cutting-edge models and platform, we move faster, build smarter, and create solutions that weren’t possible before. We see this as a long-term strategic collaboration that will shape the future of our industry.”
For enterprises facing competitive pressure to scale AI, the Capgemini – OpenAI alliance signals a maturing market where success depends less on experimentation and more on execution at scale.
