The designation positions SoftwareOne among a select group of partners equipped to help enterprises adopt OpenAI frontier models and products, turning AI ambition into measurable business impact. For Texas, a state that has become a magnet for corporate headquarters, technology innovation, and industrial expansion, the move signals broader access to advanced AI capabilities for local businesses and organizations.

The OpenAI Partner Network is a global program that brings together partners with deep industry expertise, delivery capabilities, and customer relationships. Partners receive resources, enablement, and support to help enterprises integrate OpenAI technologies. As an OpenAI Select Partner, SoftwareOne combines OpenAI's latest innovations, including GPT-6 Astra and ChatGPT Work, with its own expertise in AI, cloud, data, digital workplace, and security. This allows customers to move from experimentation to enterprise-scale adoption, identifying high-value use cases and embedding AI into core business processes to 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."

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.

For Texas businesses, the partnership could mean faster access to AI solutions tailored to their industries. With SoftwareOne's global scale and local expertise, companies in the state can leverage OpenAI's models to enhance operations, improve customer engagement, and drive growth. The company's focus on FinOps and emerging AI tokenomics also helps customers manage AI consumption costs while realizing measurable value from their investments, balancing innovation with cost optimization.
