Working with OpenAI through A³
From your problem to a working deployment, in three steps.
A³ does not resell OpenAI. It puts the right capability in the room with the people who own the problem, and lets the result decide the next step.
State the problem
Describe the blocker in your own words. A³ checks the context and confirms whether OpenAI is the strongest fit, or recommends another partner.
See it work, live
A free live session where the capability is tested against your scenario, with your team in the room. No pitch, nothing to sign.
Workshop, then deploy
If it holds up, a hands-on workshop scoped to your team, then deployment with OpenAI or a specialist partner from the A³ ecosystem.
Before you choose
What to check before choosing OpenAI
- Data handling
- Confirm which offering you are on: business offerings exclude your data from training by default, consumer accounts follow different terms.
- Workspace or API
- A ready-to-use workspace for employees and a build-it-yourself platform are different projects with different owners and budgets.
- Cloud and procurement route
- Decide whether to contract directly with OpenAI or consume the models through Microsoft Azure.
- Governance
- Plan access controls, usage policies and evaluation before a company-wide rollout, not after.
