Anthropic has announced new initiatives aimed at strengthening enterprise AI adoption through its growing Claude Partner Network, as organisations increasingly shift from AI experimentation to large-scale production deployment.

The company said that while many enterprises have successfully piloted AI applications, the greater challenge lies in integrating AI systems into day-to-day business operations, workflows, and employee environments. To address this, Anthropic is expanding its ecosystem of certified consulting and professional services partners capable of deploying Claude AI solutions at scale.

Launched in March, the Claude Partner Network was backed by a $100 million investment focused on partner training, technical enablement, and co-marketing initiatives. Since its launch, more than 40,000 firms have applied to join the network, while over 10,000 consultants have earned Claude certifications designed to validate expertise in deploying and managing Claude-based enterprise solutions.

Anthropic said several of the world’s largest professional services and consulting firms are already building dedicated practices around Claude. Accenture is reportedly training 30,000 professionals on Claude technologies, while Cognizant has rolled out the platform to approximately 350,000 associates. Deloitte is making Claude available across its global network of 470,000 employees, and KPMG is integrating the technology into workflows for more than 276,000 professionals.

Infosys is developing industry-specific AI agents powered by Claude, while PwC is deploying Claude Code and Claude Cowork capabilities initially within its US operations before expanding globally.

To help enterprises identify qualified implementation partners, Anthropic also introduced two new initiatives: the Services Track and the Claude Partner Hub.

The Services Track establishes a tiered framework designed to reflect a partner’s demonstrated experience in building and delivering Claude-based enterprise solutions. Meanwhile, the Claude Partner Hub will function as a centralised portal where partners can monitor certification progress and customers can identify firms best suited for specific AI deployment projects.

Anthropic noted that successful AI implementation increasingly depends on partners with hands-on operational experience using the latest AI models internally before deploying them for clients. According to the company, this practical expertise is becoming critical as businesses move beyond experimentation and seek scalable, production-ready AI systems.

The expansion of the Claude Partner ecosystem reflects a broader industry trend where enterprises are focusing not only on AI model capabilities but also on governance, integration, workflow transformation, and long-term operational scalability as generative AI adoption accelerates globally.
