Calda, an award-winning software development and consulting company, helping organizations design, build, and scale intelligent software, has now been named a Select Partner in the OpenAI Partner Network.
What the OpenAI Partner Network Means for Enterprise AI
OpenAI launched the Partner Network in June on a simple premise: model capability is no longer what holds enterprise AI back. The real constraint is execution, meaning finding the right use cases, integrating with existing systems, redesigning workflows, and managing change across an organization.
To close that gap, OpenAI is investing $150 million to build out the partner ecosystem. It aims to train and certify 300,000 AI consultants globally by the end of 2026. Partners move through three tiers, Select, Advanced, and Elite. Each tier sits behind a rising bar for sales performance, technical capability, co-sell engagement, and proven deployment experience.
Why Calda Earned OpenAI Select Partner Status
As an OpenAI Select Partner, Calda will continue working with OpenAI to help organizations move from AI experimentation to production-ready implementation. That starts with identifying high-value use cases and designing the right technical and product architecture. From there, it means integrating AI into existing systems and workflows, then deploying solutions that can be adopted, governed, and scaled across the business.
Calda earned its place in the program on the strength of production use cases, technical documentation, and a track record of delivery with OpenAI's models and tools.
"Being named an OpenAI Select Partner is an important milestone for Calda and a strong validation of the direction we have been building toward," said Anže Šterbenc, CEO and Co-Founder of Calda. "Organizations don't need more disconnected AI pilots. They need experienced partners who can identify where AI creates real value, connect it with their data and systems, and turn it into secure, scalable products that people actually use. Working more closely with OpenAI strengthens our ability to help customers move from ambition to implementation."
How Calda Helps Enterprises Move From AI Pilots to Production
Calda supports organizations across the United States, Europe, and other international markets, with capabilities that include:
- AI transformation consulting, helping leadership teams assess readiness, prioritize use cases, and build the internal capability to sustain AI adoption well past the first pilot.
- Agentic product development and workflow automation, building AI that plans, acts, and integrates across complex operational processes rather than just responding to prompts.
- AI and data engineering, spanning intelligent document processing, internal knowledge platforms, and the data infrastructure that keeps AI products reliable at scale.
- End-to-end mobile and web product delivery, covering architecture, UX/UI, engineering, security, and long-term support.
Its work spans healthcare, financial and professional services, manufacturing, logistics, education, and digital consumer products. That work includes AI-powered internal knowledge platforms, customer and employee assistants, and secure data-driven platforms built for organizations that need AI to hold up under real operating conditions.

What's Next for Calda and OpenAI
Looking ahead, Calda plans to expand its OpenAI-related offerings and deepen enablement across its product and engineering teams. As the OpenAI Partner Network matures, partners will be able to earn specializations in areas such as Codex, cybersecurity, and agents. Calda intends to build toward those credentials as it grows its practice.
The goal stays the same throughout: helping customers translate AI ambition into reliable products, stronger decision-making, and measurable outcomes.
