HCLTech, Anthropic partner on enterprise AI agents
HCLSoftware will embed Claude into select products, including BigFix and AppScan.
HCLTech has entered into a global partnership with Anthropic, a leading AI company, to establish a dedicated business unit. This unit will focus on developing agentic AI solutions using Anthropic's Claude models for enterprise clients. HCLTech's software arm will incorporate Claude into select enterprise products, enhancing cybersecurity, automation, business process applications, and application development.
The partnership aims to help enterprises adopt agentic AI, which are systems capable of performing tasks with minimal human intervention, while prioritizing safety, cybersecurity, and governance. A center of excellence (CoE) will be set up to create agentic AI solutions and provide clients with secure test environments for deploying Claude.
HCLTech's services teams will assist clients in adopting AI-native engineering practices, train employees, and build necessary capabilities for safe and scalable agentic AI deployment. HCLSoftware, now an Anthropic independent software vendor (ISV) partner, will integrate Claude into HCLTech's products, such as HCL BigFix, HCL AppScan, AIForce, and more.
This integration will enable AIForce to utilize Claude and Claude Code for IT support, coding assistance, and digital employee services, all while incorporating policy controls and human oversight for high-impact changes. Anthropic's co-founder and president, Daniela Amodei, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting HCLTech's role in managing such systems for various industries, including banks, hospitals, telecom companies, and manufacturers.
