00:00:31.791 --> 00:00:55.594
Bain and Company and Anthropic today announced a global partnership to help enterprises move from A I experiments to deployments that produce measurable business results. Bain joins the Claude Partner Network as a Global Premier partner, and the two firms will work together on client engagements spanning A I strategy, technology modernization, and A I-enabled operations.

6
00:00:56.044 --> 00:01:06.023
The partnership builds on Bain's own deployment of Claude across the firm, which now serves as a reference point for how Bain advises clients on enterprise rollouts.

00:01:06.823 --> 00:01:08.116
How Bain uses Claude.

8
00:01:08.566 --> 00:01:19.702
Bain rolled out Claude to all 19000 of its employees as part of the firm's suite of A I platforms and tools, for use in both client work and internal operations.

9
00:01:19.822 --> 00:01:36.479
Teams work with Claude.ai, Claude Cowork, Claude Code, Claude for Excel, and Claude for Microsoft 365 to build and test complex models, conduct research, pressure-test inputs and assumptions, and explore multiple business scenarios.

10
00:01:36.929 --> 00:01:50.980
Adoption came quickly. In the pilot phase alone, more than 7000 Bain employees were actively working with Claude within a few weeks of getting access, and more than two-thirds of pilot participants adopted Claude for Excel.

11
00:01:51.430 --> 00:02:12.209
The rollout paired access with enablement and governance. Employees received onboarding materials, trainings, and webinars alongside expert support, and the firm tracked user experience and feedback through ongoing surveys. That structure, rather than access alone, is what Bain points to when advising clients on their own deployments.

12
00:02:13.009 --> 00:02:14.887
What the partnership means for clients.

13
00:02:15.337 --> 00:02:34.985
Clients get Claude models combined with Bain's cross-industry experience in business transformation and A I deployment. Bain's digital teams include more than 1500 A I, data, analytics, architecture, and engineering experts who work alongside the firm's industry and capability practices.

14
00:02:35.435 --> 00:02:52.288
The results so far suggest what that combination can do. Across multiple client engagements involving complex legacy codebases that lack existing architectural context, Bain has helped clients achieve productivity gains of 30 percent to 50 percent.

15
00:02:52.738 --> 00:03:11.571
"Our partnership with Anthropic brings together its frontier A I technology with Bain's deep strategic and industry expertise to help clients turn the potential of A I into meaningful business results," Philippe d'Arabian, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Partnerships at Bain and Company, says.

16
00:03:12.371 --> 00:03:13.265
What's next.

17
00:03:13.715 --> 00:03:27.646
Bain and Anthropic are already working together on client engagements across multiple industries. As the partnership develops, the firms expect to expand their collaboration wherever the highest-value opportunities exist.

18
00:03:28.096 --> 00:03:34.144
"More than 7000 Bain employees were actively using Claude within weeks of the firm-wide deployment.

19
00:03:34.264 --> 00:03:52.253
The speed and breadth of that adoption signal what's possible when the right technology is paired with the expertise to deploy it effectively, and that's exactly what this partnership delivers for Bain's employees and clients," says Steve Corfield, global head of business development and partnerships at Anthropic.
