Anthropic and PwC have deepened their strategic alliance, expanding how PwC uses Claude to build technology, execute deals, and transform enterprise functions for clients across every sector it serves. The partnership focuses on three areas: agentic technology builds, AI-native deal-making, and reinvention of core enterprise functions including finance, supply chain, and human resources.

PwC will roll out Claude Code and Claude Cowork starting with US teams, with plans to expand to a global workforce of hundreds of thousands of professionals. A joint Center of Excellence will anchor the effort, alongside a program to train and certify 30,000 PwC professionals on Claude. PwC is also launching a new Office of the CFO practice built on Anthropic's product suite, targeting regulated industries including banking, insurance, and healthcare.

In production deployments already underway, clients report delivery time improvements of up to 70 percent. Insurance underwriting cycles that previously took ten weeks now complete in ten days. A mainframe modernization project covering a COBOL codebase four times larger than originally scoped remains on time and under budget. Incident response in cybersecurity has accelerated from hours to minutes through agentic vulnerability operations.

Advocate Health, one of the country's largest health systems with 167,000 employees, is building toward full-scale Claude deployment across its workforce as part of the collaboration.
