Samsung SDS has become the first company in South Korea to obtain the Select Tier partner status in Anthropic's Claude Partner Network (CPN). Following a strategic partnership established with Anthropic in July, the company has received official recognition for its technology and implementation capabilities, allowing it to expand its Claude-based enterprise AI services and agent business.
On September 15, Samsung SDS announced that it has secured the Select Tier partner status in Anthropic's CPN.
In July, at the AI Summit in San Francisco, Samsung SDS entered into a strategic partnership with Anthropic, which led to the acquisition of the Select Tier status.
The Select Tier in the Claude Partner Network (CPN) signifies partners that possess certified technical personnel and have demonstrated experience in building and applying solutions for shared customers in real operational environments.
Previously, Samsung SDS obtained authorized reseller status to supply and support the implementation and operation of Claude through Amazon Web Services' (AWS) generative AI platform, Amazon Bedrock. With the addition of the CPN Select Tier qualification from Anthropic, the company is enhancing its one-stop AI implementation system.
Samsung SDS stated, "We plan to expand Claude-based AI services and agent development tailored to the business needs of corporate clients by combining Anthropic's AI technology with our accumulated digital innovation and AX experience across various industries, including public, finance, manufacturing, and logistics."
Since the strategic partnership in July, Samsung SDS and Anthropic have begun collaborating to expand Claude-based enterprise AI business in the Korean market. The two companies are working together in various areas, including joint exploration of new business opportunities in Korea, co-marketing and technology validation (PoC), joint business expansion, and training application AI engineers.
Samsung SDS is currently implementing a 'Client Zero' strategy, which involves applying and validating new technologies internally before disseminating them to clients. The company is promoting productivity innovation by first introducing Claude Enterprise into its internal operations.
Currently, Claude Enterprise is being provided to 20 Samsung affiliates, supporting approximately 70,000 employees in their transition to AI-native organizations.
Based on this extensive internal and affiliate application experience, Samsung SDS plans to accumulate practical corporate use cases and know-how for Claude, which will be expanded into client AI adoption and AX business.
Chris Chaouris, Anthropic's International GTM Lead, remarked, "Samsung SDS is a partner with high technical capability and industry expertise to apply AI in enterprise environments. We will actively support the strategic collaboration between our two companies to maximize productivity and drive innovation for Korean businesses through Claude."
Lee Jun-hee, CEO of Samsung SDS, stated, "By combining Anthropic's frontier AI technology with the digital innovation experience we have accumulated across industries, we will accelerate AI adoption for domestic companies and create tangible business value. We will support our clients' successful AI transformation (AX) by integrating global AI technologies, including Claude, with Samsung SDS's multidimensional AI full stack."
