NEW YORK, USA — Accenture recently launched a multi-year partnership with Anthropic, an AI safety and research company, to push enterprises from AI pilots to full-scale deployment.
This development follows Accenture’s announcement of its collaboration with OpenAI. These partnerships represent the company’s commitment to becoming a leader in AI adoption and its dedication to helping its enterprise partners succeed in today’s AI-driven market.
The partnership will form the Accenture Anthropic Business Group, which will train approximately 30,000 professionals on Claude. It’s a strategic initiative to build the largest ecosystem of Claude practitioners and a significant investment in driving the adoption of Claude at scale.
What This Means for Accenture’s Clients
This collaboration makes Accenture a premier partner for coding with Claude. For its clients, this translates to faster deployment through a ready-made bench of experts.
This exciting expansion of our partnership with Anthropic will help our clients accelerate the shift from experimenting with AI to using it as a catalyst for reinvention across the enterprise. With the powerful combination of Anthropic’s Claude capabilities and Accenture’s domain knowledge, organizations can embed AI everywhere responsibly and at speed–from software development to customer experience–to drive innovation, unlock new sources of growth, and build their confidence to lead in the age of AI.
— Julie Sweet, Accenture Chair and CEO
The first product from this partnership will build on Claude’s proven business impact and be designed to help CIOs drive large-scale AI adoption. It puts Claude Code at the center of software development while leveraging Accenture’s capabilities, delivering company-wide impact through shorter development cycles.
The Accenture Anthropic Business Group is grounded in both companies’ commitment to not only deploy AI-first systems but also to prioritize safety and accountability.
