HCLTech joins the Claude Partner Network as a Global Premier partner

Anthropic is partnering with HCLTech (opens in new tab), a global technology company with more than 230,000 people in 60 countries. HCLTech will build agentic solutions on Claude for its clients through a dedicated Anthropic Business Unit and Center of Excellence, embed Claude in HCLSoftware products, and integrate Claude and Claude Code into AI Force, the platform it uses to run IT services for clients. HCLTech becomes a Global Premier Partner (opens in new tab) in the Claude Partner Network.

HCLTech provides solutions for financial services, manufacturing, life sciences and healthcare, technology, semiconductor, telecom and media, retail and CPG, and mobility and public services. In these environments, a mistake is expensive and every change needs to be reviewed, logged, and approved. The partnership is built to put Claude into that work with the controls designed for those environments.

How HCLTech is putting Claude to work

HCLTech is bringing Claude into its business in three places and is designing each with guardrails and human review.

• A dedicated Anthropic Business Unit and Center of Excellence. HCLTech’s forward-deployed engineers will set up secure sandbox environments where clients can test Claude against their own systems and data before deploying. The Center will train client workforces, help engineering teams adopt AI-native practices, and build the organizational controls for running agents safely at scale.
• Claude inside HCLSoftware products. HCLSoftware becomes an Anthropic independent software vendor (ISV) partner and will embed Claude in select products across cybersecurity, automation, business process applications, and application development. The first are HCL BigFix for endpoint management, HCL AppScan for application security testing, and the Actian AI analyst for data and analytics.
• Claude and Claude Code in AI Force. AI Force is how HCLTech delivers IT support, code remediation, and digital employee services for the enterprises it serves. Claude and Claude Code go into that platform with policy guardrails, exception handling, and human oversight for high-impact changes. Agents handle the routine work, and HCLTech engineers review and approve anything that touches a client’s production systems.

“Few technology companies combine the scale of a global systems integrator with the product depth of an ISV,” says C Vijayakumar, CEO and Managing Director at HCLTech. “That gives us a rare advantage to securely engineer and deploy Agentic AI at scale and deliver the business outcomes that matter most to our clients. Our partnership with Anthropic further strengthens our capabilities to achieve the same.”

"AI can only be as useful as it is trustworthy, and we build Claude to give companies the confidence to bring it into their most sensitive and valuable work,” says Daniela Amodei, Co-founder and President at Anthropic. “HCLTech manages those kinds of systems for banks, hospitals, telecom companies and manufacturers, and we’re excited to partner with them as they integrate Claude and Claude Code. This partnership — and our broader commitment to advancing capability and safety together — is how AI will change the way entire industries run for the better.”
