One of the first organisations across Europe to receive launch Preferred Services Partner status<\/em><\/p>\n

DUBLIN and LONDON, 23rd July 2026<\/strong> – Version 1, a global leader in AI<\/a> and digital transformation has been designated a Preferred Partner in the Claude Partner Network, Services Tier, by Anthropic, the AI safety company behind Claude.<\/p>\n

Preferred Partner status recognises Version 1\u2019s investment in Claude<\/a>, Claude Code and Claude Cowork enablement and its track record in delivering AI transformation at enterprise scale. Version 1 has established a dedicated practice focused on Claude enablement and adoption, underpinned by investment in Forward Deployed Engineers, (specialists embedded directly within client organisations to accelerate transformation) and Applied AI capability to help clients move quickly from evaluation to production.<\/p>\n

Roop Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Version 1 said, \u201cEnterprise AI adoption does not stall at the ideas and technology stage, it struggles because of the scarcity of practitioners who can deploy at pace and the structured programmes that make adoption stick. We built our FDE and Applied AI practices to solve exactly these challenges and earning Preferred status within the Claude Partner Network is a key milestone for us. Our collaboration is a joint commitment to closing that gap by combining Claude models with our capability to move customers from experimentation into measurable, sustained adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n

James Allen, Partnerships Lead for UKI and Northern Europe at Anthropic said,\u201d Regulated sectors such as Financial Services, Government and critical infrastructure set a high bar. Safety and compliance are features that must be designed in from the start.\u00a0 Version 1 has demonstrated capabilities beginning with its own change framework, Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) and production deployments. This is a partner who has already earned trust in the hardest environments to operate in. We are recognising that with launch Preferred Services Partner status and we are backing it with a joint commitment to scale Anthropic\u2019s product and model adoption across the UK and Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n

Version 1 has been deploying generative AI solutions for over three years, working with more than 100 clients globally, a foundation further strengthened by its recent acquisition of CreateFuture (a Version 1 company). The combined FDE practice brings domain expertise across markets including iGaming, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and public sector, supporting customers beyond licence activation into deep, domain-specific adoption and transformation.<\/p>\n

Version 1 has two distinct capabilities that centre the Anthropic collaboration on measurable transformation powered by Anthropic at scale. Its Applied AI practice takes generative AI solutions from prototype to production at pace through an agentic delivery model which moves faster than traditional delivery model approaches allow. Its FDE practice embeds directly into customer organisations, using the company\u2019s proprietary change and adoption framework to drive not only technical adoption but the embedding of AI into ways of working across both technical and non-technical domains.<\/p>\n

Overall, the partnership centres on driving transformation and business value powered by Anthropic at scale across Version 1 and Anthropic \u2018s customer base. Preferred Partner status reflects the confidence both organisations have in scaling Claude adoption together.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n
