The money for artificial intelligence companies is in enterprise, but the challenge isn\u2019t building the model. It\u2019s getting it to work inside a company that wasn\u2019t designed for it.<\/p>\n

AI model makers are racing to address the gap between ideation and integration. Microsoft launched Frontier Company with $2.5 billion and roughly 6,000 engineers, technical consultants and industry specialists whose job is to sit inside enterprise client organizations and build AI systems that produce measurable results. Amazon also committed $1 billion to a parallel effort.<\/p>\n

PYMNTS Intelligence\u2019s \u201cThe Enterprise AI Benchmark Report\u201d found that 71% of executives at companies with at least $1 billion in annual revenue identified organizational readiness as the primary barrier to AI performance. Only 11% cited the technology itself.<\/p>\n

Monthly job listings for forward-deployed engineers, or technical specialists who embed directly inside client organizations to customize AI systems and integrate them with existing operations, increased more than 800% between January and September 2025.

\u201cForward-deployed engineers can sit with an organization, sit with their users, understand the workflow, and then help them take that capability from their back-office applications, connecting it to the model, and then really building intelligence in terms of each of the workflow,\u201d Dresser said in a May 11 CNBC report.<\/p>\n

OpenAI and Anthropic both launched enterprise deployment ventures.<\/p>\n

OpenAI\u2019s Deployment Company launched May 11 as a majority-owned subsidiary, raising more than $4 billion from 19 investors, including TPG, Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs, and…<\/p>\n
