BOCA RATON, FL, UNITED STATES, October 7, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Forte Group, an AI-first product development firm, has joined Anthropic's Claude Partner Network as a Select Partner, marking a significant milestone in its AI consulting practice. This achievement recognizes the progress Forte Group has made in building a Claude-focused AI consulting practice and delivering production-grade systems for clients in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, SaaS, and private equity.
Forte Group's work with Xceptor, a data automation platform used by financial institutions including Fortune 500 clients, exemplifies the company's commitment to governed AI. By moving Xceptor's engineering team from ad hoc AI tool use to a governed, agentic product development pipeline built on Claude, Forte Group has demonstrated the potential of AI in enterprise settings. The results of this collaboration were presented publicly at CTO Craft London in March 2026 and CTO Craft Toronto in May 2026.
The transformation at Xceptor has been transformative. Connector builds that once took two weeks now ship in two days, representing an 83% cost reduction. Additionally, rework has fallen from roughly 30% to under 10%, and story creation runs three times faster. These improvements highlight the tangible benefits of a governed AI approach, where every AI-generated artifact passes a named human gate before it is shipped.
Mikael Carlsson, CEO of Forte Group, emphasized the importance of structured AI practices in the enterprise.
The Claude Partner Network is designed for firms that integrate Anthropic's Claude into production for their customers. The Services Track recognizes partners for building a certified delivery team, delivering Claude use cases for clients, and proving the work through public customer references. Forte Group's Select partner status in this network underscores its expertise and commitment to delivering high-quality, governed AI solutions.
Alex Lukashevich, Chief AI Officer at Forte Group, elaborated on the company's methodology.
Forte Group, with 800+ employees across 12 locations, has been designing, developing, and operating mission-critical software for organizations that cannot afford to get it wrong. The firm has embedded governed AI across the entire software delivery lifecycle, ensuring named accountability on every engagement. This focus on governance and structured AI practices positions Forte Group as a leader in the AI-first product development space.
