Our goal is to recognize technology and vendors that have introduced noteworthy digital innovations to advance business and IT.

Ventana Research has awarded OpenAI and the generative AI technologies ChatGPT and GPT-4 its prestigious 2023 Overall Digital Innovation Award. This award is given to the vendor that best exemplifies overall innovation and change that supports an organization’s ability to maximize its people, processes, information and technology.

Ensuring digital technology operates intelligently across an organization and extends to its customers, partners and suppliers is a necessity that directs priorities and investment. Expectations of what constitutes the best possible digital experience has changed drastically with the advancement of AI and continues to shift as that technology evolves to be a better partner to workers. Innovation must advance the imperatives of digital modernization and business effectiveness, which requires a focus on enabling people to be smarter in the workforce.

Ventana Research selected OpenAI for the 16th Annual Overall Digital Innovation Award for its seismic evolution of the power of generative AI and use of large language models (LLM) to enable a new generation of conversational computing. Through the application of its technology and the ChatGPT digital experience, OpenAI enables consumers and business professionals to easily gain insights and answer questions that empower action and decisions. This access allows for more effective knowledge workers.

Providing AI in a form that helps workers across the enterprise is a challenge organizations recognize. Prioritizing technology investments to help instill worker confidence that their time and skills are taken seriously is also key. Organizations that need partners, suppliers and customers to more easily access and engage with information should explore OpenAI and how generative AI technology can be used to better enable intelligent interactions inside and outside the enterprise, be it on a mobile device or from a desktop computer.
