The enterprise AI commercial framework now intersects with four principal enterprise AI vendor frameworks. The OpenAI commercial framework anchors the customer's OpenAI enterprise framework against the OpenAI hosted commercial framework. The Anthropic commercial framework anchors the customer's Anthropic enterprise framework against the Anthropic hosted commercial framework. The Google AI commercial framework anchors the customer's Google AI enterprise framework against the Google AI hosted commercial framework. The AWS Bedrock commercial framework anchors the customer's AWS Bedrock framework against the AWS hosted commercial framework. The buyer side framework anchors the enterprise AI framework against the customer's actual enterprise AI utilisation framework rather than the publisher's preferred broad commercial framework. The framework typically delivers twenty to thirty five percent savings across the enterprise AI spend at the contracted enterprise AI cycle. Read the related CIO playbook for negotiating OpenAI contracts, the AI Platform Contract Playbook, the Azure OpenAI vs direct OpenAI comparison, and the Vendor Shield always on program.
