Anthropic names Gorilla Logic as Claude services partner

Anthropic has named Gorilla Logic a Select Services Partner in the Claude Partner Network, placing the engineering firm in Anthropic's services track for enterprise Claude deployments.

The status is awarded to partners that meet requirements for certified practitioners, customer deployments in production and public customer results.

The partnership targets companies that already have access to Claude but have not yet embedded the model into the systems and workflows they use to run their operations. Gorilla Logic will focus on helping enterprises move from licensed access to production use in business technology environments.

That work will centre on two areas. The first, AI-Enabled Product & Platform Engineering, covers the use of Claude and Claude Code across the software development lifecycle to design, build, test and modernise products and platforms. The second, Enterprise Agent & Workflow Engineering, involves building agents and automated workflows for functions including finance, operations, compliance, human resources and sales, with links to enterprise systems through integrations such as the Model Context Protocol.

Production use

The announcement highlights a broader issue for large organisations adopting generative AI tools. Access to a model or coding assistant does not necessarily mean it has been approved for use in production systems, where security reviews, governance requirements and internal IT controls can delay or prevent deployment.

Gorilla Logic plans to combine Claude with the engineering, security and governance standards it has applied in client work over two decades. It will bring Claude into projects through Construct, a set of playbooks, reusable components, accelerators and tools developed from its delivery work.

"Anyone can build an agent. Which makes engineering standards matter more than ever," said Drew Naukam, Chief Executive Officer of Gorilla Logic.

Naukam said many companies already have commercial access to Claude but need outside help to move beyond experimentation. "A lot of the companies we talk to already pay for Claude. What they want is help getting it into the work their teams do every day, in a way their security and IT teams will sign off on," he said.

Enterprise focus

Anthropic has been expanding its partner ecosystem as it seeks wider enterprise adoption for Claude. Services partners play a role in that effort because many large companies require systems integrators, consultancies or engineering specialists to connect AI tools to existing technology estates and operating processes.

For Gorilla Logic, the Select partner status gives it a formal place within that channel structure. The company works on digital products, platform consolidation, application modernisation and sustained engineering for enterprise clients, and sees AI as an extension of those engagements rather than a separate programme.

That reflects how many large organisations are approaching generative AI spending. Rather than building separate AI initiatives, some are trying to insert models and coding tools into established product engineering, cloud and quality processes, where they can be governed under existing controls and measured against day-to-day operational outcomes.

Naukam outlined that approach in a second statement on how the company plans to work with clients. "We don't treat AI as a standalone initiative. We treat it as an extension of the product engineering, platform engineering, quality engineering, and cloud modernization work our clients already depend on us for," he said.

The Select Services Partner designation also points to a maturing phase in the enterprise AI market. As more companies move from pilot projects to operational use, partner selection is increasingly tied not only to model access but also to implementation discipline, production track record and the ability to satisfy internal approval processes.

Partner qualification in the Claude network is based on certified practitioners, production deployments and public customer results.
