IBM Joins Forces with OpenAI to Bolster AI Consulting Services
IBM has announced that it will integrate OpenAI's services into its AI consulting platform, IBM Consulting Advantage. This move is aimed at helping clients accelerate their AI implementations and transform their businesses to integrate AI into their daily work.
The partnership between IBM and OpenAI will also focus on modernizing legacy applications through a combination of OpenAI products and IBM's expertise. Additionally, the companies plan to expand their existing collaboration in the cybersecurity realm by combining OpenAI frontier AI capabilities with IBM Autonomous Security.
IBM will join the OpenAI Partner Network and engage forward-deployed engineers and consultants trained through the network to help clients implement AI solutions. The company will also create a dedicated OpenAI practice, certifying thousands of consultants and engineers via the Partner Network.
This partnership is not unique, as several other companies have already announced similar initiatives with OpenAI. Mark Tauschek, a distinguished analyst at Info-Tech Research Group, noted that 'this is becoming table stakes' for consulting firms looking to partner with frontier AI labs.
