Anthropic Launches Claude Partner Network Services Track and Partner Hub — Three-Tier Certification With Select, Preferred, and Global Premier Ranks, Plus a Public Directory Built on a Model Context Protocol Connector
Anthropic formalizes a $100M partner program with three quantitative tiers (Select, Preferred, Global Premier) and a public Hub where customers find certified Claude practitioners and partners track their own status.
Anthropic ranks Claude consulting firms on real customer deployments and ships a public directory so enterprises can shop by tier.
Key specs
| Firms applied | 40,000+ |
|---|---|
| Certified consultants | 10,000+ |
| Accenture trained | 30,000 |
| Cognizant reach | 350,000 |
| Deloitte access | 470,000 |
What is it?
Two new pillars of the Claude Partner Network: a Services Track that grades consulting and systems-integration firms by measurable Claude work, and the Claude Partner Hub, a public directory and partner-side dashboard refreshed daily. The program already counts 40,000+ applicant firms and 10,000+ certified consultants.
How does it work?
The Services Track has three tiers — Select (≥10 certified individuals, 2 production deployments, 1 public story), Preferred (≥100/15/3), and Global Premier (≥1,000 certified individuals, 100 deployments across 3+ regions, 15 customer stories, plus a joint business plan). Promotions process twice a year (Jan 1, Jul 1) with an extra Oct 1 2026 review. The Hub surfaces each firm's status, certified team size, and customer wins, and connects to Claude via a Model Context Protocol connector.
Why does it matter?
It puts hard floors under who can claim Claude expertise — Accenture has run 30,000 staff through training, Cognizant has reached 350,000 associates, and Deloitte has rolled access to 470,000. Enterprises picking an implementer can now compare deployment scale and customer references in one place instead of trusting a sales deck.
Who is it for?
