IT firms may face fresh risk from Open AI, Anthropic's enterprise AI push - Business Standard

The AI companies aren't waiting for you to figure this out. They're coming directly to your door.
OpenAI and Anthropic just partnered with private equity firms to build their own enterprise services businesses. Translation: they're cutting out the middlemen and selling directly to companies like yours.
That consultant who oversold you? The SaaS tool collecting dust? Those were middlemen problems. This shift actually changes things in your favor — more direct, more accountable, less hype-filtered selling.
Here's what this means practically. When the company that built the AI is also responsible for making it work inside your business, the incentive structure changes. They don't get paid if you don't get results. That's a different conversation than the one that left you with a $200/month subscription nobody opens.
You don't need to chase this yet. But you should know one thing: the window where your competitors are equally confused is closing faster than it was six months ago.
Start here. Pick the single most repetitive task your team does manually each week. One task. That's your AI pilot. No new systems, no retraining, no big budget. Just one workflow. Prove it there first.
What was the last AI tool you bought that your team actually stopped using — and what went wrong?
