Introducing the Services Track and Partner Hub of the Claude Partner Network

Summary

Anthropic announces the Services Track and Claude Partner Hub to make its partner ecosystem easier for enterprise customers to evaluate firms that can put Claude into production. The Services Track has Select, Preferred, and Global Premier tiers, measured by certified practitioners, production deployments, public customer stories, and for Global Premier, a joint business plan with named executive sponsors. Requirements include at least 10, 100, or 1,000 active certified individuals, alongside tier-specific deployment and endorsement thresholds, with a single bar for firms of all sizes. The Hub provides daily refreshed standing dashboards, a public directory showing each firm's tier and evidence, and an MCP connector that lets partners query partnership information through Claude. Promotions occur twice yearly, with an additional 2026 review, while downgrades are limited to the annual review after notice and an opportunity to close gaps.

Takeaways

1. 1

   The Services Track uses the same requirements for firms of every size; Select, Preferred, and Global Premier require progressively larger certified teams, deployment counts, and public customer stories.

2. 2

   The Partner Hub makes each firm's tier, certified team, customer deployments, and public references visible in a public directory, with standing refreshed daily.

3. 3

   Tier standing is separate from referral credit and deal protection, and promotions and reviews follow a published schedule with notice before a possible downgrade.
