V2 AI named OpenAI Services Partner for Australia

V2 AI has been appointed as an OpenAI Services Partner in Australia, in a move aimed at meeting growing demand from large organisations for the structured adoption of generative artificial intelligence.

The Sydney-headquartered consultancy will work with enterprises planning to use OpenAI products, such as the OpenAI API and ChatGPT Enterprise. The firm will focus on deployments in complex and regulated environments with strict governance and risk requirements.

The partnership forms part of OpenAI's Services Partner programme, which works with consultancies that guide customers through assessment, planning and implementation of AI systems. These partners provide structured engagement from early readiness work and training through to live deployment.

V2 AI operates across the Asia Pacific with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Kuala Lumpur. The company focuses on data, AI, automation and operating model design for large organisations.

The consultancy plans to work with enterprises on internal capability building. It also plans to focus on AI deployments that align with existing governance frameworks and business rules.

Enterprise focus

V2 AI targets sectors such as financial services, retail and energy. Many organisations in these industries face regulatory scrutiny around data use, automated decision-making and customer interactions.

The firm said it applies AI in areas such as automation and workflow redesign. It also supports projects that focus on workforce augmentation, where AI assists employees rather than replacing roles.

Use cases include applied AI systems and agent-based tools that sit inside business processes. These systems can route information, summarise documents or generate draft responses for human review. They can also provide decision support to staff in areas such as credit assessment, risk management, planning, and customer service.

Craig Howe, Founder and CEO of V2 AI, said the company's approach concentrates on business outcomes rather than experimentation alone.

"V2 AI empowers customers to solve their most complex challenges using AI. V2 AI follows an outcome-based approach, which spans innovation, strategy, and implementation, delivering fast, measurable results. Organisations are looking for practical, scalable ways to use AI to improve productivity, decision-making and customer experience. Becoming an OpenAI Services Partner is recognition of our commitment to helping enterprises apply AI securely and responsibly."

The company has worked with some of the region's most prominent brands since its launch in 2023. It focuses on projects that combine data foundations, model selection and change management inside large organisations.

Structured adoption

OpenAI Services Partners sit between technology providers and enterprise customers. They assess an organisation's data readiness, security posture and operating model before AI systems go into production.

Partners also design implementation roadmaps. These roadmaps usually cover pilot projects, governance processes, training and long-term support arrangements.

V2 AI said it will continue to invest in its consulting team and delivery methods. The firm plans to refine its frameworks for implementation, training and operating model design as customers increase their use of generative AI.

OpenAI has identified Australia as a growth market for generative AI adoption, particularly in large organisations that run regional and global operations from local hubs.

Satya Tammareddy, OpenAI's Head of Go-To-Market for Australia and New Zealand, said the partnership builds on existing work between the two companies. "V2 AI has strong experience helping organisations adopt generative AI solutions using OpenAI's models. As a Services Partner, they support enterprises in deploying AI responsibly and building internal capability that enables long-term value," said Tammareddy.

V2 AI was founded in 2023. The firm expects demand for generative AI strategy, implementation and operating model change to grow as more enterprises move proofs of concept into large-scale production environments.
