CodigoDelSur is a Certified Services Partner in the Claude Partner Network, Anthropic's partner program for companies that build with Claude. Twenty people on our team hold Anthropic certifications. We are also an OpenAI Select Partner. That is a different program with its own scale, so one does not imply the other. This post says what the designation covers, what it does not, and what it changes if you are deciding who builds your product.
What the Claude Partner Network is
Anthropic runs a partner program for the companies that implement Claude for other organizations. It has a services track for consultancies and system integrators, it has tiers above the entry level, and it keeps a public directory of partner companies.
Our designation is Certified Services Partner. We are not claiming a tier above that. When a company tells you it is a partner of anything, the useful questions are which designation exactly, and how many certified people sit behind it.
How we use Claude in our own work
We use Claude inside our own development, on our own repositories, and the time it saves shows up where it is useful to you: in the estimate, before you sign anything. We do not bill a model's output as if it were a person, and we do not pad an estimate because a tool made the work faster.
What has not changed is who is responsible. A model writes code that a person reviews, tests and ships, and that person's name is on the pull request. That is also why the certifications sit with engineers who are on delivery.
What this changes if you are choosing a development partner
Three things, and all three are things you can check rather than take on trust:
- You can ask for certified people on your team by name, the same way you interview every engineer before they start, whether the engagement is staff augmentation or a full team.
- When your product needs a language model feature, the people building it were trained on the platform instead of learning it on your budget. That is the work we describe on our AI and machine learning page.
- If you are comparing vendors, this is one more claim that can be verified instead of believed. We wrote the longer version of that argument in how to choose a nearshore development partner.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Claude Certified Services Partner?
It is a company recognized in the services track of the Claude Partner Network, Anthropic's program for firms that implement Claude for other organizations. The program expects a partner to keep certified people on staff and to keep that standing current.
Do you use Claude when you build for clients?
Yes, on our own repositories and under the same review process as any other code. A model writes code that a person reviews, tests and ships, and that person is responsible for it.
Can I ask for certified engineers on my team?
Yes. You interview every engineer before they start, the same as with any other role, and you can ask for certified people specifically.
