Version 1 has been named a Preferred Services Partner in Anthropic's Claude Partner Network, making it one of the first organisations in Europe to receive the status. The recognition places the Irish-founded technology services company among a small initial group approved to help customers deploy Anthropic's Claude models in live environments. The status reflects Version 1's work in enterprise AI deployments, particularly in regulated industries including financial services, government and healthcare. Version 1 has set up a dedicated practice for Claude adoption, backed by Forward Deployed Engineers and an Applied AI team. Version 1 has been deploying generative AI systems for more than three years and has worked with more than 100 clients globally. It said that base has been strengthened by its acquisition of CreateFuture. The Claude Partner Network status is tied to services rather than software resale. Anthropic said those conditions make regulated sectors a demanding test for services partners. "Enterprise 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," said Roop Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Version 1.
