Anthropic has rolled out a Services Track together with a Partner Hub for its Claude Partner Network, creating a structured pathway for consulting firms that implement its Claude AI model for enterprise clients.
The Services Track defines three distinct partner tiers - Select, Preferred, and Global Premier - each with explicit thresholds tied to three metrics: the number of certified practitioners, the count of customers with production deployments, and the number of public customer stories.
Tier requirements:
- Select: Minimum of 10 certified individuals, two joint customers in production, and one public customer story.
- Preferred: Minimum of 100 certified individuals, 15 deployed customers, and three public customer stories.
- Global Premier: Minimum of 1,000 certified individuals, 100 deployed customers across three regions, and 15 public customer stories.
The Claude Partner Network originally launched in March and was backed by a $100 million commitment aimed at partner training, technical support, and shared marketing. Since the program began, more than 40,000 firms have submitted applications to join, and over 10,000 consultants have earned Claude certification.
Several large professional services firms have already embedded Claude into their operations at scale. Accenture is training 30,000 professionals on the model. Cognizant has deployed Claude to roughly 350,000 associates. Deloitte is making it available to 470,000 people, and KPMG is integrating Claude across more than 276,000 workers. Infosys is developing Claude-powered agents targeted at specific industries, while PwC is starting to roll out Claude Code and Cowork beginning with teams in the United States.
The Claude Partner Hub supplies partners with a dashboard that displays their status relative to the published requirements, with the display refreshed daily. The company will process tier promotions twice a year - on January 1 and July 1 - and has scheduled an additional review on October 1, 2026. Partners may link the Partner Hub to Claude via a new MCP connector, which permits partners to query details about their partnership status through the platform.
This update institutionalizes how Anthropic evaluates and elevates consulting partners, tying advancement to demonstrable certification, real-world deployments, and customer references. The Partner Hub provides partners with more frequent visibility into their progress and a documented promotion cadence.
Summary: Anthropic introduced a tiered Services Track and a Partner Hub for the Claude Partner Network. The program sets concrete thresholds for Select, Preferred, and Global Premier status, and provides a daily-updated dashboard and a biannual promotion schedule with an extra review slated for October 1, 2026. The initiative follows a March launch supported by a $100 million partner investment and has attracted substantial partner interest and certification volume.
