Globaldev joins the Claude Partner Network
This is a significant milestone for our company and a direct result of the initiative, research, and hands-on effort of team members who saw an opportunity early and moved fast to make it real.
How we got here
The idea for pursuing Claude partnership status originated from a conversation our CEO, Dror Har, had at an industry conference, where he learned about Anthropic's push to formalize its partner ecosystem. From there, our AI Strategy Specialist and BA Department Lead, Ihor Kravchenko, ran a full research effort to understand the program, map out the tier requirements, and put together an actionable roadmap for the company.
The application itself was substantial: beyond standard company information, it required a detailed picture of our client base, technical specialties, domains of expertise, and how we currently use Claude and how we plan to expand that usage.
Approval came back in under a week. With that confirmation, we now have access to the Claude Partner Hub, our dedicated portal for tracking certifications, joint deployments, and tier progress going forward.
Why this matters
Anthropic is one of a small number of companies establishing itself as a clear leader in the AI space. Concretely, partnership status unlocks:
- Direct technical support from Anthropic's Applied AI engineers and architects for complex client implementations.
- Co-marketing support, sales playbooks, and a listing in Anthropic's Services Partner Directory, where enterprise buyers actively search for qualified partners.
- Access to the Claude Partner Hub, featuring an always-on program assistant built on Claude named PAM AI, for tracking our pipeline and tier status.
Understanding the tier system
The CPN Services Track is structured around four tiers, and progress is based on real delivery evidence like certified people, live deployments, and published success stories rather than sales volume alone.
We've officially entered the program at the Registered tier, having already assembled an initiative group of developers who have committed to certification.
The certification path: CCA-F
Central to advancing through the tiers is the Claude Certified Architect: Foundations (CCA-F) exam, Anthropic's first official technical certification for solution architects working on production AI applications.
The exam is a proctored, closed-book test covering five domains: agentic architecture and orchestration, Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, Claude Code configuration, prompt engineering, and context management. Anthropic has opened free access to more than a dozen technical courses through the Anthropic Academy to help candidates prepare.
What we're building on
This isn't a cold start.
We already have a proven, documented workflow using Claude Code integrated with tools like Figma, Jira, and Confluence via MCP, which has measurably reduced development estimates on internal projects. That track record gives us a real foundation to point to as we work toward Select tier's production-deployment and success-story requirements, and it strengthens our pitch to clients: certified expertise, backed by an official Anthropic partnership, delivering turnkey agentic AI development services.
This is just the starting point.
Reaching Select tier and beyond will take real effort from everyone involved, but it puts Globaldev in a strong position as one of the earlier certified partners in Anthropic's ecosystem, and opens the door to bigger, more sophisticated AI projects for our clients.
Congratulations to everyone who helped get us here, and welcome aboard to everyone joining the certification effort next.
