On August 25, Bain & Company and Anthropic announced a global partnership placing Bain at the Global Premier tier of the Claude Partner Network. That tier requires at least 1,000 certified active individuals, at least 100 joint customers deployed across three or more regions, at least 15 public customer stories, and a joint business plan with named executive sponsors, with all metrics refreshed daily in the Partner Hub directory.
Bain had already deployed Claude firm-wide to 19,000 employees. Within weeks of the pilot phase, more than 7,000 employees were actively using Claude and more than two-thirds of pilot participants took up Claude for Excel. Consultants use Claude.ai, Claude Cowork, Claude Code, Claude for Excel, and Claude for Microsoft 365 across client and internal work.
Bain joins Accenture, Cognizant, KPMG, Infosys and Deloitte as a major Claude deployment among the professional services firms. Deloitte's October 6, 2025 alliance, covering 470,000 people, remains the largest single deployment. The Bain partnership is being read as a milestone in Anthropic's enterprise consulting expansion.
