Anthropic lands 30,000 new Claude users across NEC
Anthropic just partnered with NEC Corporation to roll out Claude to roughly 30,000 employees worldwide, marking NEC as Anthropic's first Japan-based global partner. NEC is embedding Claude—including Opus 4.7 and Claude Code—into its BluStellar platform to build secure, domain-specific AI tools for Japanese finance, manufacturing, and local government. Why it matters: Anthropic is deepening its enterprise footprint in Asia, turning a legacy tech giant into an AI-native engineering powerhouse.
