ZS will help organizations scale AI across critical workflows in regulated industries

EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ZS, a management consulting and technology firm, today announced that it has joined the Claude Partner Network as a Select partner in the Services Track to help organizations move AI from experimentation into scaled production. By bringing together the advanced AI capabilities of Claude, powered by Anthropic, with ZS’s deep domain expertise and AI-driven implementation experience, the firm can accelerate adoption, improve productivity and deliver measurable business impact for clients in complex, regulated environments.

The designation builds on successful deployments across software development, clinical research and pharmaceutical planning that are already driving gains in execution speed, productivity and AI adoption, including:

• A recent Claude-powered workflow that cut the time required to generate key software-development artifacts by up to 83%.
• A solution in clinical development for a global pharmaceutical company that drove 3x higher user adoption and improved feature-development efficiency by 30%-40%.

“Enterprises are moving quickly from AI experimentation to scaled deployment, but powerful models alone aren’t enough to create lasting value,” said Swati Gokhale, ZS’s principal and global leader of strategic alliances and investments. “It takes domain expertise, governance and execution to embed AI safely and responsibly into the decisions and workflows that shape business performance. By joining the Claude Partner Network, ZS is strengthening its ability to help clients do that.”

As a Select partner in the Services Track, ZS will help organizations:

• Build industry-specific AI agents and applications for complex, highly regulated environments
• Embed AI into business-critical decisions and workflows
• Accelerate deployment through reusable implementation frameworks and governance standards
• Scale successful pilots into enterprise-wide solutions

This work draws on ZS’s expertise in strategy, analytics, decision intelligence, technology and implementation, supported by thousands of AI experts and engineers across the firm.

The designation extends ZS’s alliance ecosystem—including Databricks, Veeva, Salesforce, AWS and Microsoft—and advantageously positions the firm to bring Claude into high-impact use cases spanning clinical development, commercial execution and enterprise operations.

The Claude Partner Network “provides training, technical support, and joint market development for our partners helping enterprises adopt Claude,” according to Anthropic. Learn more about the Claude Partner Network: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-partner-network
