Is WorkWise a Microsoft, OpenAI or Anthropic partner?

Yes. WorkWise Solutions is a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner, an OpenAI Select Partner and an Anthropic Claude Partner, and it is part of IBM for Startups.

It is still an independent firm, founded and led by Dr. Leigh Coney. None of these programs gives a vendor a say in what WorkWise recommends.

What it means for your firm

WorkWise works across Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise and Claude. Whichever one your firm already pays for, WorkWise can set it up, train your team on it and build on it. The same goes for portfolio companies, each of which can run on its own stack.

An adviser tied to one vendor usually recommends that vendor. Working across all three keeps the platform choice about your firm.

If you have not picked a platform yet, the AI Readiness Sprint settles it. Its platform decision memo compares Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude and Gemini against your own data, workflows and security requirements. Including Gemini means a firm on Google Workspace gets a fair look too. WorkWise then implements on whichever platform the analysis supports. The Sprint is $12,500 for firms up to 20 people.

What it does not mean

None of these companies pays WorkWise to recommend their products, and WorkWise takes no referral fees from any vendor. It sells no software licenses either, so no commission rides on the advice.

The guides on this site follow the same rule: no vendor pays to be listed or ranked. Here is how we evaluate tools.
