Deloitte expands Anthropic's Claude access to over 470,000 employees and will certify 15,000 specialists

Anthropic and Deloitte announced on October 6, 2025, an expanded alliance that will make the Claude AI platform available across Deloitte’s global network—covering more than 470,000 Deloitte people—and will develop new industry‑specific solutions powered by Claude.

Center of Excellence and production readiness

As part of the collaboration, Deloitte will set up a Claude Center of Excellence staffed with trained specialists who will develop implementation frameworks, share leading practices across deployments, and provide ongoing technical support. The center’s aim is to help move AI pilots into scalable production systems.

Anthropic described the arrangement as its largest enterprise AI deployment to date.

Training and certification

Deloitte and Anthropic are co‑creating a formal certification program to train and certify 15,000 Deloitte professionals on Claude. Those certified practitioners will support Claude implementations across Deloitte’s network and contribute to Deloitte’s internal AI transformation efforts.

Compliance‑focused, industry solutions

The partners will build AI solutions with compliance features tailored for regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare and life sciences, and public services. These solutions will pair Claude’s safety‑first design with Deloitte’s Trustworthy AI™ framework to increase transparency in model decision making and meet enterprise governance requirements.

Executive comments

Paul Smith, Chief Commercial Officer of Anthropic, said: “Deloitte chose Claude because they need trusted AI that can help their employees and clients across industries and on a global scale—from coding and software development to customer engagement and industry-specific advisory. When the world's leading organizations need to tackle complex, critical work, they choose Anthropic because Claude is built for the compliance and control that enterprises demand.”

Ranjit Bawa, Global Technology and Ecosystems & Alliances Leader, Deloitte Global, added: “Deloitte is making this significant investment in Anthropic’s AI platform because our approach to responsible AI is very aligned, and together we can reshape how enterprises operate over the next decade. Claude continues to be a leading choice for many clients and our own AI transformation. This expanded relationship includes technology integration, plans for the establishment of a Center of Excellence, continued certification of 15,000 professionals, and development of industry-specific solutions as we support our clients through their AI transformations. Anthropic shares our passion for safety and reliability, along with our assessment that enterprise AI should be both powerful and principled.”
