Global technology consultancy Xebia has been named an OpenAI Select Partner under the OpenAI Partner Network, deepening its collaboration with OpenAI as it looks to help enterprises build, deploy and scale agentic AI across business operations.
Under the partnership, Xebia will support organisations adopting OpenAI models and products, with a focus on engineering, governance and responsible deployment. The collaboration will also involve GPT-5.6 and ChatGPT Work as enterprises look to integrate AI into data, software and operational workflows.
The Select Partner status comes as businesses increasingly move beyond standalone generative AI experiments towards systems capable of performing multi-step tasks and operating within existing enterprise processes. For Xebia, the partnership adds OpenAI technology to its broader portfolio of AI engineering and consulting services.
Xebia's enterprise AI capabilities span agentic AI, data engineering and AI-native software development. Its portfolio includes Xebia Axis, an agentic data foundation, alongside its AI-native engineering capabilities. The company works with enterprises across sectors including banking, insurance, retail, travel and healthcare.
The company has also been developing AI systems intended to move beyond assistance into business workflow execution. Xebia says its agentic systems can plan, act and adapt within operational environments. One deployment for a global cruise line was designed to handle more than 10,000 customer emails each day and reduced processing time by 70%, according to company-reported figures.
The OpenAI agreement sits within Xebia's wider enterprise AI ecosystem. In February, the company announced an enterprise generative AI offering built around Anthropic's Claude under an authorised reseller agreement. That offering combines AI models with governance frameworks, industry-specific applications, prebuilt agentic components and workforce training.
Xebia has also been expanding its AI-native solutions as companies seek to turn proof-of-concept projects into production deployments. Its approach centres on connecting AI with governed enterprise data, engineering systems and operational processes rather than treating models as standalone tools.
As part of its OpenAI partnership, Xebia plans to extend OpenAI-powered solutions into additional industries. The company will also continue training and certifying its engineers and consultants through Xebia Academy as demand for enterprise AI implementation skills grows.
The partnership reflects the broader shift in enterprise AI towards agent-based systems, where businesses are exploring how AI can be embedded into workflows while maintaining controls around security, governance and performance.
