LG CNS signs Claude Enterprise deal with Anthropic to accelerate group-wide AI transformation

LG CNS is partnering with Anthropic to drive AI transformation across LG Group using Claude, Anthropic's AI model.

LG CNS said Monday it had signed a Claude Enterprise agreement with Anthropic. The deal is structured as a unified contract applicable to all LG Group affiliates, and LG CNS said it plans to use the agreement as a springboard to accelerate group-wide AI transformation.

Claude is an enterprise AI model gaining rapid traction in global markets, built on advanced reasoning capabilities, strong security and the ability to handle lengthy documents. It is particularly regarded as a model supporting corporate AI transformation through features focused on workplace efficiency — including AI agent development integrated with internal systems, coding assistance and collaboration tools.

Under the agreement, LG CNS plans to make Claude available to all employees company-wide and pursue AI-driven productivity gains across operations, including software development. The company also intends to expand its AI transformation business by supporting both LG Group affiliates and external clients through the full cycle of Claude adoption and deployment.

The two companies have worked together before. LG CNS took an equity stake in Anthropic through LG Technology Ventures in 2023 and has since continued the partnership by offering Claude in a form optimized for domestic corporate customers. LG CNS said it plans to deepen collaboration with Anthropic to further develop AI transformation services tailored to enterprise environments.

LG CNS also said it is building a customized AI framework by deploying a range of generative AI tools internally. The company has introduced a multi-AI system that lets employees choose from several AI models — including Claude and ChatEXAONE from LG AI Research — depending on their work needs and environment. It is also drawing on its experience operating diverse AI models and its industry expertise to advise corporate customers on AI adoption strategies.

"Our partnership with Anthropic marks an important milestone in formalizing an AI transformation model optimized for the domestic corporate environment," said Kim Tae-hoon, head of LG CNS's AI cloud business division. "We will combine LG CNS's AI transformation capabilities with Anthropic's AI technology to support innovation for our corporate customers in Korea."

Choi Ki-young, Anthropic's Korea representative, said the collaboration would help domestic corporate customers apply safe and trustworthy AI in real work environments. "We will work together to establish Claude as an AI platform that supports corporate productivity and workplace innovation," he said.
