100-word summary
Anthropic is putting $100 million toward a partner network that trains consulting giants like Accenture, Deloitte, Cognizant, and Infosys to sell and implement Claude for enterprise clients. The money funds certification programs, technical support, and joint marketing campaigns. Anthropic is also expanding its partner-facing team fivefold with applied AI engineers and technical architects. It's a play straight from enterprise software's oldest playbook: get the big consulting firms hooked, and they'll drag Claude into every boardroom pitch. The bet is that enterprises trust advisors more than AI labs when choosing which chatbot to wire into their operations.
