Anthropic and Accenture sign multi-year AI strategic partnership

AI research lab Anthropic continues to cement its stake as the predominant AI player in the enterprise space.

On Tuesday, Anthropic announced a multi-year partnership with professional services firm Accenture. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed; however, The Wall Street Journal reported that the deal is for three years.

Accenture confirmed the deal is for three years but declined to comment on financials. TechCrunch reached out to Anthropic for more information.

The two companies are forming the Accenture Anthropic Business Group. This will include formal Claude training for Accenture’s 30,000 employees. Anthropic’s Claude Code coding tools will be available for Accenture’s tens of thousands of developers. They are also launching a joint initiative to help chief investment officers track their return on investment for AI.

This announcement comes as Anthropic’s market share within enterprise continues to grow.

A new report from Menlo Ventures shows that Anthropic holds 40% of the market share within enterprise and 54% of the market share when it comes to coding. This marks a bump from Menlo’s previous survey this summer, where Anthropic held 32% of the enterprise market share.

Anthropic announced a $200 million deal with cloud data company Snowflake last week. The company also announced sizable and similar AI partnerships with both Deloitte and IBM in October.
