Brennan strengthens its ability to turn enterprise AI investment into business outcomes

Sydney, Australia | 28 October 2026

Australian systems integrator and innovator Brennan has been named an OpenAI Select Partner within the OpenAI Partner Network, strengthening its ability to help businesses, enterprises and government organisations move beyond AI experimentation and deploy practical solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes.

The announcement builds on Brennan’s investment in AI engineering and innovation, including the recent launch of the Brennan Innovation Foundry, designed to help customers systematically identify, develop and deploy innovations that address real business challenges.

The OpenAI Partner Network is a global program for partners to build, sell, and deliver AI solutions with OpenAI. It brings together partners with deep industry expertise, delivery capabilities, and customer relationships while equipping them with resources, enablement, and support to help enterprises adopt OpenAI frontier models and products and turn them into measurable impact.

As an OpenAI Select Partner, Brennan will continue working with OpenAI to help organisations build, deploy and scale AI solutions responsibly and effectively. This work will help organizations put GPT-6 Astra to work across more of their business, using deeper reasoning and computer use to complete complex workflows and deliver finished work.

Brennan brings its AI engineering, systems integration and managed services capabilities to this work, helping customers move from identifying valuable use cases to deploying secure, governed solutions in production.

Brennan’s Founder and Managing Director, Dave Stevens, said the announcement represented an important step in accelerating Brennan's ambition to help Australian organisations realise tangible returns from their AI investments.

“The opportunity for our customers is to bring OpenAI’s frontier technology together with Brennan’s engineering, integration and managed innovation capability to solve real business problems and get solutions into production.”

“Too many organisations are still working out how to move beyond AI pilots and experimentation. The challenge is identifying the right opportunities, integrating solutions into existing operations and delivering measurable business value,” Mr Stevens said.

“That's exactly why we created the Brennan Innovation Foundry. It gives organisations a repeatable way to capture ideas, assess their potential, develop solutions quickly and scale those that deliver real results.”

Brennan supports Australian businesses, enterprises and government organisations with technology consulting, AI solution development, systems integration, managed services and ongoing innovation capabilities.

Since April, the Brennan Innovation Foundry - which is supported by an internal Skills Marketplace - has shipped more than 450 innovations for Brennan, ranging from smaller improvements and automations to six substantial business systems.

These include a whole-of-business platform that turns Brennan’s strategy into owned and trackable actions, a product lifecycle management platform that governs products from initial idea through to retirement, and a new Brennan-built people system to replace an existing SaaS-based Human Resource Information System. Together, the systems demonstrate the Foundry’s ability to build core business platforms tailored to how Brennan operates, not simply produce standalone AI tools.

Looking ahead, Brennan plans to expand its OpenAI-related capabilities through continued investment in AI engineering, skills development and customer solutions. This will complement the Innovation Foundry and support more organisations in translating AI ambition into secure, scalable and measurable business outcomes.

“Becoming an OpenAI Select Partner reinforces our commitment to helping Australian organisations move from discussing AI's potential to actually delivering on it,” Mr Stevens said.
