SoftwareOne (SIX: SWON), a leading global software and cloud solutions provider, announced today that it has been named an OpenAI Select Partner within the OpenAI Partner Network. The designation places the Switzerland-based company among a select group of partners chosen to build, sell, and deliver AI solutions with OpenAI, according to a company announcement distributed by NEWMEDIAWIRE. The OpenAI Partner Network is a global program that equips partners with resources, enablement, and support to help enterprises adopt OpenAI frontier models and products and turn them into measurable impact.
For businesses navigating the fast-moving artificial intelligence landscape, the partnership signals a more structured path to adopting advanced AI tools. As an OpenAI Select Partner, SoftwareOne is combining OpenAI's latest innovations, including GPT-6 Astra and ChatGPT Work, with its own expertise in AI, cloud, data, digital workplace, and security. The company says this enables customers to move from experimentation to enterprise-scale adoption. From identifying high-value use cases to embedding AI into core business processes, SoftwareOne aims to help organizations accelerate innovation, boost productivity, and achieve measurable business outcomes.
“Being named an OpenAI Select Partner reinforces SoftwareOne's commitment to turning AI ambition into business impact,” said Gudmundur Adalsteinsson, Chief Channel and Ecosystem Officer at SoftwareOne. “Adding OpenAI to our agentic skill set sharpens our ability to advise customers on the right tools for every persona and workload. Combined with our expertise in cloud, data, and digital workplace transformation, we help organizations adopt AI with confidence and turn it into real competitive advantage.”
The news matters because many enterprises struggle to translate AI pilot projects into production systems that deliver returns. SoftwareOne supports organizations across public sector, financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and professional services with AI strategy and advisory, data and AI platforms, and digital workplace modernization. The company serves customers through two routes to market: SMB organizations through its Channel partners, and MidMarket and Enterprise customers through its direct approach. Its work includes helping customers modernize data foundations, adopt leading AI platforms such as Microsoft Copilot, Amazon Q, and Google Gemini, and develop generative AI, agentic AI, and business-specific AI applications that transform employee and customer experiences.
Looking ahead, SoftwareOne continues to invest in AI capabilities, skills development, and industry-focused solutions globally. With deep expertise in FinOps and emerging AI tokenomics, the company enables customers to effectively manage AI consumption costs while realizing measurable value from their investments. This focus on balancing AI innovation with cost optimization helps customers deploy AI responsibly, efficiently, and with clear business impact.
