What is a Claude Partner, and what does it mean for my business?

A Claude Partner is a business in Anthropic's Claude Partner Network, recognised for hands-on experience putting Claude to work for clients. For you it means the person setting up or training your team uses Claude on live work daily, and can get you to value faster than trial and error.
The honest version: anyone can open Claude. The gap is knowing which jobs to point it at, how to set it up safely, and how to get a team using it past week one. That's the part a partner earns their keep on.
Ignite AI Solutions is a Claude Certified Services Partner working with UK SMEs, led by Chris Duffy, a Certified Chief AI Officer. Being a partner does not mean we take a licence commission, and it does not stop us saying when the answer is Copilot. What the partnership covers is set out in full.
One thing worth knowing: the Claude Partner Network and the public Claude Partner Directory are different things. We are in the network, and our directory listing is in progress.
