Samsung SDS Achieves Select-Tier Status in Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network

Samsung SDS has been recognized as the inaugural Korean Select-tier partner in Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network, a tier that validates technical skill and real-world deployment experience with Claude AI. The designation comes two months after the firm formalized a strategic alliance with Anthropic at an AI summit in San Francisco, aiming to broaden enterprise AI opportunities in Korea. With this status, Samsung SDS will provide a full suite of services, including consulting on Claude integration, access to the model through Amazon Web Services’ Amazon Bedrock platform, implementation, operations, and continuous technical support.

Lee June-hee, the company’s chief executive, highlighted the plan to merge Anthropic’s frontier AI with Samsung SDS’s digital transformation know-how to accelerate AI uptake in sectors such as public services, finance, manufacturing, and logistics. The firm already resells Claude via Amazon Bedrock and uses Claude Enterprise internally for about 70,000 employees across Samsung affiliates, a practice that will inform future enterprise use cases. Joint marketing, proof-of-concept projects, and training of applied AI engineers are also slated under the partnership.
