OpenAI appoints Xebia as Select Partner within its global partner network
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and a range of AI solutions, has appointed Xebia as a Select Partner within the OpenAI Partner Network.
The OpenAI Partner Network is a global programme through which partners work with OpenAI to develop, implement and bring AI solutions to market. The network is open to organisations that meet OpenAI’s rigorous criteria, including requirements related to AI expertise, knowledge of the OpenAI technology stack, deep industry expertise, and experience in designing, building and implementing AI solutions.
As an OpenAI Select Partner, Xebia will work with OpenAI globally on consulting and technology implementation projects, with a focus on the business solution ChatGPT Work. Headquartered in the Netherlands, Xebia has 4,500 professionals across offices in 16 countries.
Anand Sahay, Chief Executive Officer of Xebia, says the company brings extensive expertise in AI transformation, agentic AI, data engineering and software development. As part of its AI transformation work, Xebia leverages Xebia Axis, its data foundation for agentic AI, and Xebia Ace, its solution for AI-native software engineering.
“Being named an OpenAI Select Partner reflects the trust our clients place in us to turn advanced AI into real business outcomes,” says Sahay. “We’re building on our work with OpenAI to help organisations become truly agentic enterprises, backed by the governance and engineering discipline that lasting results require.”
“Our focus is on bringing OpenAI models into that environment with the engineering, governance, and platform foundations required to scale them in production,” adds Preetpal Singh, Global Head of Product and Platform Engineering at Xebia.
The recognition sees Xebia join a select group of consulting firms that have been admitted to the OpenAI Partner Network. Other members include Accenture, Bain & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Capgemini, Cognizant, IBM Consulting, KPMG, McKinsey & Company and PwC.
