ACE, Anthropic Consulting and Engineering

The ACE in your hand. Play it, and change how your business works.

From Scattered pilots to one compounding system.

ACE

/eɪs/ noun

  1. 1A team dedicated to helping customers build their own end-to-end solutions on Anthropic’s Claude and the Claude Agent SDK to deploy agents that transform how work actually gets done.
  2. 2Anthropic Consulting & Engineering.
  3. 3Ranked as the highest card in player's hand.

Most companies didn’t wait for a strategy before they started building on Claude. Teams picked it up on their own, in isolated pockets, and now there’s a pile of experiments that never talk to each other. One team’s win doesn’t make the next team faster. Nobody can see where data is going or who approved it to go there, and the token spend keeps climbing while nobody can point to the business outcome it bought.

ACE turns that scattered activity into one compounding system. We embed forward deployed engineers inside your teams, build the governed foundation once — identity, security, data access — and then layer agent after agent on top of it instead of re-solving governance for every new use case. Every deployment makes the next one better, and every dollar of token spend maps back to a process that’s measurably faster, cheaper, or safer than before.

What makes ACE different

Forward Deployed Engineers

Most consulting engagements hand you a scope, then disappear for months before returning with something built from the outside. ACE embeds engineers inside your team from day one, so the same people who scope the work are still there building it in week eight.

The 3-2-1 Methodology

Most firms either move fast and skip the guardrails, or move carefully and take a year to show anything real. ACE does both: three days to scope, two weeks to prototype with your team, one month to ship a secure, production-grade build hundreds of people can use.

We did it first

Before we brought this to customers, we ran it on ourselves, activating Claude across every function at Caylent. The mistakes already happened on our own time, so what you get is a proven model, not a theory.

An agentic SDLC that freed $5–10M in year one

Working with Caylent, Smarsh built a governed agentic software lifecycle on Amazon Bedrock and Claude Code. Defect escape rates dropped by as much as 40%, test coverage jumped from about 20% toward complete in a day, and the capacity that used to go into catching up was put back into the product.

Additional use cases

A finance team's month-end close moves from manual, spreadsheet-driven reconciliation to a streamlined process built for their analysts' judgment, not their data entry.

A regulated-industry team went from months to prototype a new process down to twice a day.

A single developer, working with agents, now produces what used to take a team of five or six.

Processes with eight handoffs across teams compress into weeks, sometimes days.
