This autumn, Nalios joined the Claude Partner Network, the Anthropic program aimed at companies that help businesses adopt Claude, its AI model. Good news, provided we specify exactly what it entails.
This network has several levels, and being a member does not mean being a certified partner. We prefer to explain it clearly rather than display a vague badge.
In this article: what the program is, how its levels work, what it brings to partners, and, above all, what it changes for companies working on Odoo.
01What is the Claude Partner Network?
Anthropic launched the program on March 12, 2026. It targets consulting firms, service companies, and AI specialists who assist businesses in adopting Claude. The publisher is dedicating an initial investment of 100 million dollars for 2026, distributed between training, technical support, and joint business development.
Major firms are already engaged: Accenture is training 30,000 of its professionals on Claude, Deloitte is making it available to 470,000 people. But the program is not limited to giants: a company of ten people is evaluated on the same criteria as a global firm.
The interest is real. Between March and June 2026, more than 40,000 companies applied to join the network, and over 10,000 consultants obtained a Claude certification.
02Member or Anthropic partner: the levels of the program
The network operates on two tiers. Membership is free and open to any organization that markets Claude: this is the entry level, called Registered. The status of Anthropic partner in the strict sense begins at the next level, in the Services Track launched on June 3, 2026.
| Level | Conditions |
|---|---|
| Registered (member) | Free membership, access to resources and certification exams, with the commitment to train at least 10 certified individuals. |
| Select | At least 10 active certified individuals, 2 common clients in production in the last 12 months, and 1 public client testimonial. |
| Preferred | At least 100 certified individuals, 15 clients in production, and 3 public testimonials. |
| Global Premier | At least 1,000 certified individuals, 100 clients spread across three regions or more, 15 testimonials, and a joint business plan with Anthropic. |
Two clarifications matter. Certifications belong to individuals, not companies: they are obtained through the exams of the Anthropic Partner Academy and only count if the individual has used Claude in the last 90 days. And the level is not declarative: Anthropic verifies the status of each partner every quarter.
03What the program brings to partners
The program combines four levers. The first two are accessible upon joining, the following ones increase in power with the partner's level :
- The partner portal : the training from the Anthropic Academy, the sales guides used by the Anthropic teams, and the co-marketing documentation.
- The certifications : the first, Claude Certified Architect, Foundations, is aimed at architects who build production applications.
- The technical support : Anthropic is increasing its partner-dedicated teams fivefold, with engineers assigned to client projects and architects to frame complex deployments.
- The co-marketing : joint campaigns and events, partially funded by the 100 million envelope.
In addition, there is the Partner Hub, a dashboard that shows each partner where they stand in relation to the requirements of the next level, with a daily update.
04Claude and Odoo: what it changes for your business
For a client, the first interest is transparency. The Partner Hub publishes the level of each partner, their certified team, their deployments, and their references: anyone can verify what a company has actually delivered with Claude.
For a company on Odoo, the second interest is more concrete: working with a partner who knows both your ERP and AI. Connecting an assistant to an Odoo base raises a technical question, but also questions of access rights, data quality, and organization.
1 · Connect Claude to your Odoo base
The MCP connector (Model Context Protocol) is the standard that allows connecting an AI assistant to software. Odoo made it one of its announcements at OXP 2026, as we detail in our Odoo Experience 2026 report. Today, it is the core of our work with Claude: connecting it to Odoo so that your teams can query their sales, their inventory, or their projects in plain language.
2 · Frame the uses before generalizing them
An AI that reads, and sometimes writes, in your data must respect the rights of each user. We convey to our clients the rules that we first apply to ourselves:
- Read-only by default : the assistant consults before writing anything.
- Human validation : any modification is presented and approved before being recorded.
- No bulk modification without prior control, and never automatic deletion.
- Test base first : new uses are tried outside of production.
3 · Complete the AI already present in Odoo
Claude does not replace the AI integrated into Odoo, it complements it. The intelligent agents of Odoo 19 cover uses within the ERP. Claude becomes useful as soon as it is necessary to cross Odoo with your documents, your emails, or your other tools.
At XLG, a player in facility management that we have supported in its transformation on Odoo, Cédric Vandermeersch and Clément Masse presented at OXP 2026 what we have implemented.
05Where is Nalios in the Claude Partner Network
Nalios has been a member of the network since this fall, at the Registered level. Our goal is clear: 10 certified consultants, the threshold for the Select level, the first level of partnership.
The other two criteria, clients in production and a public testimonial, are built with the projects where we are already connecting Claude to Odoo at our clients.
A badge doesn't say much. What matters is what a partner has actually put into production.
💡 The Nalios perspective
The Anthropic program has a rare quality: its levels are based on public and verified criteria, not on declarations. This is a logic we know well as an Odoo Gold Partner, and that's why we display our actual level rather than a more flattering title.
An AI project on Odoo succeeds first thanks to mastery of the ERP: access rights, multi-company, specific modules. This is the field we have been practicing for over 12 years, and it is on this foundation that we build our uses of Claude.
06How to choose a partner for AI in Odoo
Whether you work with us or with another player, four checks will help you avoid unpleasant surprises:
- The level in the Partner Hub : member, Select, Preferred or Global Premier.
- Cases in production : clients who use Claude daily, not just demonstrations.
- Mastery of Odoo : access rights, multi-company, specific modules.
- A progressive method : read-only, validation, test base, then generalization.
The last two points are not related to AI but to ERP. This is where an experienced Odoo integrator makes the difference.
