Anthropic and PwC have expanded their strategic alliance to accelerate enterprise AI adoption, with plans to deploy Anthropic’s Claude AI platform across PwC’s global workforce and client operations. The collaboration aims to help organisations modernise legacy systems and workflows by integrating AI into core business functions.

As part of the expanded partnership, PwC will roll out Claude Code and Cowork tools beginning with its U.S. teams before scaling to hundreds of thousands of employees globally. The companies will also establish a joint Centre of Excellence and launch a certification initiative to train 30,000 PwC professionals on Claude technologies.

The alliance will focus on three major areas: agentic technology development, AI-driven deal-making, and enterprise function transformation. PwC said the collaboration is already delivering measurable results across sectors, including financial services, healthcare, life sciences, cybersecurity, and consumer markets.

According to the companies, AI-powered underwriting workflows have reduced insurance processing timelines from 10 weeks to 10 days, while cybersecurity operations that previously required hours can now be completed within minutes.

PwC is also introducing a new finance-focused business group, Office of the CFO, which will operate as the first standalone business unit built on Anthropic’s technology stack. The initiative is designed to support AI-native operating models for finance, HR, supply chain, and engineering functions.

Dario Amodei, Co-founder and CEO of Anthropic, said PwC has been instrumental in expanding AI into industries where reliability and accuracy are critical. He added that deploying Claude across PwC’s workforce would help organisations scale expertise and improve operational efficiency.

Paul Griggs, US Senior Partner and CEO of PwC, noted that enterprises are moving beyond AI experimentation toward execution-focused deployments. He said the collaboration combines advanced AI capabilities with PwC’s industry expertise to help clients achieve measurable business outcomes in complex environments.

The companies said engineering teams are already using Claude Code to accelerate production software development timelines from months to weeks. In deal-making, AI agents are being integrated into due diligence, value creation, and post-merger integration processes to streamline execution and improve returns for private equity firms and corporate acquirers.

The partnership reflects a broader shift among enterprises toward adopting AI systems capable of automating end-to-end workflows and enabling professionals to operate at significantly larger scale.
