DXC Technology and Anthropic have announced a multi-year global alliance that positions DXC as one of a small number of Global Premier partners in the Claude Partner Network. Under the arrangement, DXC will build and train a dedicated workforce of tens of thousands of forward-deployed engineers, each certified through Anthropic's Partner Academy, to embed Claude inside the mission-critical technology stacks DXC operates for its customers.
The partnership is built on production evidence. DXC has already deployed Claude as the primary development tool for its own OASIS platform, an AI-native orchestration system for managed services. The results, according to DXC, include a roughly tenfold acceleration in software delivery, with more than 95% of code generated by Claude before human review. DXC OASIS launched in April 2026 and is now deployed across more than 50 customers.
Paul Smith, Chief Commercial Officer at Anthropic, described the logic: “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.”
The alliance’s initial focus falls on three areas: insurance (deploying agentic Claude solutions into core systems), cybersecurity (a Claude-powered sub-agent embedded into security operations centres), and legacy modernisation, where DXC is offering code refactoring at scale using agentic AI. All three build directly on domain expertise DXC has accumulated across decades of enterprise operations.
Raul Fernandez, President and CEO of DXC Technology, framed the move as a natural extension of that operational history: “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.”
New engineers will complete a 90-day certification programme through the Anthropic Partner Academy, gaining persistent access to Claude and progressing through proficiency levels in designing, deploying and governing agentic systems. DXC, which employs more than 115,000 people across 70 countries, has also developed additional certification curriculum for mission-critical environments. The company describes the approach as a Customer Zero model: validate in production at DXC first, then bring the same capability to customers.
