SoftwareOne expands AI push with Anthropic Select partner status

The Anthropic milestone follows SoftwareOne’s OpenAI partnership in October as it builds out its enterprise AI capabilities

SoftwareOne has strengthened its partnership with Anthropic after achieving Select partner status in the Claude Partner Network Services Track.

The milestone has been driven by SoftwareOne’s work helping move AI from experimentation into scaled deployment for customers.

The Claude Partner Network Services Track recognises partners for building certified delivery teams, delivering Claude use cases and proving the work through public customer references.

The VAR now has more than 100 certified experts and offers services spanning the integration of Claude into enterprise applications and workflows, alongside optimisation, governance, security and cost control.

SoftwareOne deploys Claude on the preferred cloud platform of the customer, across AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, and manages Claude alongside other models and platforms.

The company highlighted one customer deployment where it built a monitoring layer to track accuracy, cost and performance across multiple AI models, including Claude o Amazon Bedrock.

According to the VAR, the customer cut infrastructure coss on individual AI functions by more than 80 per cent and improved accuracy on a key workflow by more than ten per cent.

SoftwareOne's AI focus: Open AI and Anthropic

The Anthropic partner announcement comes after SoftwareOne joined the OpenAI Partner Network in October, underlining the VAR’s push to build services around multiple enterprise AI providers.

“Our customers are moving fast on AI, and we need to move with them,” said Raphael Erb, CEO of SoftwareOne.

“For us, it starts with staying close to our customers, understanding what they need, and delivering on our commitments.

“Our Select status in the Claude Partner Network helps us bring Claude to more customers and turn AI into real business value.”

SoftwareOne supports organisations across the public sector, financial services, manufacturing, professional services and others with AI strategy and advisory, data and AI platforms, and digital workplace modernisation.

The company has said it will continue to invest in AI capabilities, skills development and industry-focused solutions globally.
