Accenture and Anthropic have announced an expansion of their partnership with the launch of the Accenture Anthropic Business Group and a new joint offering designed to help CIOs scale software development with AI. A Tuesday news release shows 30,000 professionals will be trained to use Anthropic’s Claude models through the new group, enabling clients to integrate Claude into their systems and accelerate enterprise-wide AI adoption.
As part of the expansion, the companies will co-invest in a Claude Center of Excellence inside Accenture, creating a dedicated environment for teams to co-develop AI tools tailored to specific business, industry and regulatory requirements.
The first product from the partnership is a CIO-focused offering that reimagines how enterprise software is built and maintained, with Claude Code positioned at the center of the development lifecycle.
Accenture Chair and CEO Julie Sweet said in a statement that the expanded partnership will help organizations move beyond AI experimentation.
“With the powerful combination of Anthropic’s Claude capabilities and Accenture’s AI expertise and industry and function 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,” she said.
