The collaboration will initially focus on the telecommunications sector, where a dedicated Anthropic Center of Excellence will be set up to develop and deploy AI agents tailored to industry-specific use cases.

At the core of the alliance is the integration of Anthropic’s Claude models, including Claude Code, with Infosys Topaz AI offerings. The combined capabilities aim to help enterprises automate complex workflows, speed up software development cycles and adopt AI solutions with the governance, oversight and transparency required by regulated industries.“Together, Infosys and Anthropic aim to help clients reimagine the enterprise operating model by combining deep industry expertise, frontier AI, and engineering scale into one unified approach,” Infosys said in a statement on February 17.
A core focus will be agentic AI – systems that go beyond answering questions to independently handling multi-step tasks like processing claims, generating and testing code, or managing compliance reviews. Using tools like the Claude Agent SDK, Infosys and Anthropic will help clients build AI agents that can work persistently across long, complex processes rather than one-off interactions, it said. The collaboration will also help organizations modernize legacy systems, combining Infosys Topaz and Claude to accelerate migration and reduce the cost of updating ageing infrastructure.
