Accenture and Anthropic expand their partnership to train 30,000 employees on AI, focusing on regulated sectors to boost productivity.
Dec 9 (Reuters) - Accenture and Anthropic on Tuesday announced an expansion of their partnership through a new business group where around 30,000 of the consulting giant's employees will be trained on the AI startup's Claude model.
The tie-up reflects enterprise efforts across industries to upskill their workforce on artificial intelligence technologies, as companies look to boost productivity and streamline operations.
The move mirrors Accenture's deal with OpenAI, announced last week, where it would train hundreds of thousands of its IT workers on ChatGPT Enterprise and work to integrate the technology into workflows.
"Our new partnership means that tens of thousands of Accenture developers will be using Claude Code, making this our largest ever deployment," said Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei.
Consulting firms are racing to strengthen AI capabilities as clients expand the technology's use beyond chatbots to overhaul core operations and drive demand for packaged services like coding assistants, automated workflows, and multi-step task systems.
Accenture and Anthropic will also launch new joint offerings for regulated sectors such as financial services, health and life sciences, and the public sector - areas where AI adoption has lagged due to compliance and data-handling rules.
The consulting firm in September had unveiled a six-month $865 million restructuring to realign its workforce and operations as demand shifts toward digital and AI services.

Productivity measures the efficiency of production. It is often calculated as the ratio of outputs to inputs in a given period, indicating how effectively resources are utilized to generate goods or services.
Workforce training involves teaching employees new skills or improving existing ones to enhance their performance and productivity. This training can include workshops, courses, and on-the-job training.
A business group is a collection of companies or organizations that operate under a common ownership or management structure. These groups often collaborate to achieve strategic goals and enhance competitiveness.
