## Summary

Indian IT services group HCLTech announced on 12 October a global partnership with Anthropic to accelerate the adoption of agentic AI in enterprises. The agreement provides for the creation of a dedicated unit for Anthropic technologies and a centre of excellence responsible for designing solutions. HCLTech teams will work with Claude, Cowork and Claude Code to develop applications, notably in software development and IT operations. Its subsidiary HCLSoftware will integrate Claude capabilities into products such as BigFix and AppScan, in the areas of cybersecurity, automation and business process management. Control mechanisms and human oversight are to govern high-risk operations. The aim is to move beyond one-off experiments and embed agents in complex environments at large client companies.
