“OpenAI is helping shape how enterprises adopt and use AI, and Sentinel is now part of the partner network built to help bring those technologies into business environments,” explained Richard Sonnen, Director of AI Innovation and Consulting at Sentinel. “Our clients can work with a partner that has access to OpenAI resources and support, backed by more than 40 years of experience inside their technology environments"
