Enlighten Designs Achieves Select Tier in Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network

HAMILTON, WAIKATO, NEW ZEALAND, October 14, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Enlighten Designs, a New Zealand technology consultancy founded in 1998, has achieved the Select partner tier in Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network, marking a significant milestone in its journey to help organizations integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their daily operations.

The Select tier in the Claude Partner Network recognizes Enlighten Designs for its ability to deliver Claude, Anthropic’s AI language model, to clients. This achievement underscores the company’s expertise in helping organizations move beyond mere experimentation with AI to actual implementation.

Enlighten Designs focuses on three key areas to bridge the gap between AI experimentation and practical application. The company helps people across an organization integrate Claude into their everyday work, assists software teams in using Claude to plan, write, test, and maintain software, and incorporates Claude into the applications it develops for clients. Before taking this approach to clients, Enlighten Designs first implemented Claude within its own team, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability.

One of the practical examples of Enlighten Designs’ Claude enablement work is its collaboration with Hamilton & Waikato Tourism. The company’s Digital Marketing Lead used Claude to assist with drafting and proofreading newsletters, reducing the time spent from around four hours to approximately 30 minutes per newsletter. This not only saved time but also allowed her to focus on other digital marketing priorities more effectively.

For business, IT, and software leaders in New Zealand, the gap between AI experimentation and practical implementation is significant. Most organizations have already tried AI, but few have successfully integrated it into their daily work. As a Select partner, Enlighten Designs aims to help organizations overcome this gap by providing the necessary data, people, and technical support to make AI useful in their operations.

Enlighten Designs’ team includes Anthropic-certified practitioners who use Claude in their own work, ensuring that clients receive a local team with hands-on experience. As a Select partner, Enlighten Designs has access to Anthropic's partner training and technical support, enabling it to deliver Claude solutions effectively to its clients.

In summary, Enlighten Designs’ achievement of the Select partner tier in the Claude Partner Network marks a significant step in its mission to help New Zealand organizations harness the power of AI. Through its expertise and practical implementation, Enlighten Designs is well-positioned to assist businesses in transforming their operations and achieving tangible results with AI.
