DXC has entered a multi-year global partnership with Anthropic, expanding the companies' existing relationship.
The deal makes DXC a Global Premier partner in Anthropic's Claude Partner Network and focuses on bringing Claude into the technology systems DXC operates for large companies and public sector bodies. Those systems span banking, aviation, insurance, manufacturing and government.
Claude is already being used in production through DXC OASIS, the company's managed services orchestration platform, which is deployed across more than 50 customers. It also serves as the default foundation model for the platform's agentic workflows.
Under the partnership, DXC and Anthropic plan to train a dedicated workforce of Claude-certified engineers and builders from DXC's existing talent base. They are expected to work within customer environments across insurance, cybersecurity, application services and technology modernisation.
The certification process will run through the Anthropic Partner Academy over 90 days. Engineers will receive daily access to Claude and progress through higher levels of proficiency in designing, deploying and governing agentic AI systems. DXC has also created additional training to prepare engineers for work in regulated and operationally sensitive environments.
Existing use
The partnership builds on DXC's internal use of Anthropic's technology. Claude was the primary development tool used to build DXC OASIS, and more than 95% of the platform's code was generated by Claude before human review.
DXC also said Claude increased software delivery speed for OASIS by an estimated factor of 10. The platform launched earlier this year and is intended for wider deployment across the company's customer base.
That internal track record forms part of what DXC describes as its "Customer Zero" approach, in which it tests tools in its own operations before deploying them for clients. DXC said it validated Claude under the same security and compliance requirements faced by its customers.
Anthropic described the partnership as a step toward deeper use of its models in large operational systems rather than isolated productivity tools. The alliance also gives DXC direct access to Anthropic resources as it expands related services.
"DXC helps the world's largest banks, airlines, insurers, and government agencies put new technology to work. They proved Claude inside their own operations first, under the same security and compliance requirements their customers face. Now we're bringing Claude inside those environments together, industry by industry, with engineers who have already done it themselves," said Paul Smith, chief commercial officer at Anthropic.
Sector focus
The first areas of focus include insurance, cybersecurity and application services. DXC said these segments offer an early route for deploying AI agents into systems that support day-to-day business operations.
In insurance, DXC will use Claude to support changes to core systems and deploy agentic tools tailored to each organisation's operating model and strategic priorities. In modernisation work, the company is using Claude to analyse, refactor and transform legacy codebases for enterprise customers.
Cybersecurity is another target area. A security engineer sub-agent within DXC OASIS, built on Claude Security, will be used by DXC's cybersecurity teams in security operations centres as part of their monitoring and response work.
In application services, DXC is developing Anthropic-certified DXC OASIS agents designed to place Claude inside the application maintenance and management environments it runs for customers. That points to a model in which AI tools are embedded in long-running service contracts rather than sold as standalone software.
The agreement comes as IT services groups seek to move from advising clients on artificial intelligence to integrating models directly into production systems. For providers such as DXC, the shift could tie AI work more closely to core outsourcing, infrastructure and application support businesses.
DXC employs more than 115,000 people across 70 countries. Its scale in managed infrastructure and application services gives Anthropic a route into large installed environments where reliability, compliance and operational oversight are central concerns.
"For more than fifty years, DXC and the companies it was built from run the systems that run the world. We know what it takes to deliver in these environments. This alliance with Anthropic combines trust and experience with the most advanced AI technology available and gives our customers something they cannot get anywhere else. We are already using Claude across our own operations and our new DXC OASIS platform. Now we are scaling that capability directly into the mission-critical technology systems we run for our customers. This is a defining moment for DXC and for the industry," said Raul Fernandez, president and CEO of DXC Technology.
