Ferguson Digital Solutions Named an OpenAI Select Partner
CLARKSBURG, Md. - Oct. 8, 2026 - Ferguson Digital Solutions, an applied AI and advanced data firm specializing in regulated environments across government and industry, today announced that it has been named an OpenAI Select Partner within the OpenAI Partner Network.
The OpenAI Partner Network is a global program for partners to build, sell, and deliver AI solutions with OpenAI. It brings together partners with deep industry expertise, delivery capabilities, and customer relationships while equipping them with resources, enablement, and support to help enterprises adopt OpenAI frontier models and products and turn them into measurable impact.
As an OpenAI Select Partner, Ferguson Digital Solutions will continue working with OpenAI to help organizations build, deploy, and scale AI solutions responsibly and effectively. This work will help organizations put GPT-6 Astra to work across more of their business, using deeper reasoning and computer use to complete complex workflows and deliver finished work. Ferguson Digital Solutions works where trust in a production system is required, bringing the evaluation and governance needed to establish and maintain it.
"Our customers cannot put a system into production that nobody can explain, control, or audit," said Walter Ferguson, founder of Ferguson Digital Solutions. "That is the problem we work on. Being named an OpenAI Select Partner gives us access to additional resources and support through the OpenAI Partner Network, while we continue investing in the evaluation and governance layer that helps organizations explain and defend how their AI systems operate to examiners and regulators."
Ferguson Digital Solutions works across three areas. AI Discovery & Strategy identifies the solutions that drive organizational value. Applied AI Engineering takes a validated use case through to production, with data foundation work, grounding, evaluation and observability built in rather than added afterward. The People & Workforce practice helps prepare the organization and its teams to successfully adopt AI and emerging technology solutions. The firm's work includes taking AI initiatives from first conversation through to production in environments with strict security and compliance requirements.
Looking ahead, Ferguson Digital Solutions plans to expand its OpenAI-related offerings and invest in technical enablement, building solutions where trust is demonstrated rather than asserted.
