Claude Partner Network
What a Claude partner does for your company
Anthropic launched the Claude Partner Network in March 2026 with US$100 million for training, technical support and joint marketing. The Services Track brings together consultancies that help companies adopt and integrate Claude.
The right access route
Whether claude.ai, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Foundry or AWS Bedrock: the route decides contract, data processing and cost. We choose it to fit your data.
Integration, not an isolated tool
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner we connect Claude to Microsoft 365, Entra ID and your business systems, with single sign-on, permissions and logging.
Data protection
Rolling out Claude in a GDPR-compliant way: access routes compared
The access route decides who your contract partner is and where data is processed.
| Access route | Contract role | Processing in the EU | Suited for |
|---|---|---|---|
| claude.ai Team / Enterprise | Anthropic as processor | No, data stored in the US | Knowledge work in the browser and on the desktop |
| Microsoft 365 Copilot | Anthropic as subprocessor of Microsoft | Per Microsoft, inside the EU Data Boundary from early December 2026; enabled from 9 December in EU tenants without a selection | Companies with Copilot licences |
| Microsoft Foundry | Anthropic as seller and processor (Anthropic DPA) | Global or US data zone, EU announced | Custom applications billed through Azure |
| AWS Bedrock / Google Vertex AI | Cloud provider as processor | Yes, with an EU inference profile or the “eu” endpoint | Applications with EU requirements |
In Germany, usage logs can trigger co-determination rights under section 87(1) no. 6 of the Works Constitution Act, and since 2 February 2025 Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires AI literacy. We plan both from the start. As of 13 November 2026; our Claude GDPR guide compares retention periods, transfers and all six access routes. This is not legal advice.

Claude Team costs €18 per user per month with annual payment; Claude Enterprise costs US$20 per user per month plus usage-based costs (as of 9 November 2026, per Anthropic, excl. tax). We advise you on the right licence and introduce Claude in a controlled way.

Licence advice
We map your user groups to plans and seat types and work through the cost with you before you buy.
Pilot in about 4 weeks
One first use case, such as contract or tender review, with a small group of users and measurable results.
Rollout & training
Single sign-on, policies, data protection and works council, team training and operations after go-live.
How buying works: AURUM does not sell Claude licences. You sign the contract directly with Anthropic. We advise and carry out the rollout; on request we introduce a licence partner. Anthropic can change prices and plans at any time; current figures are on claude.com/pricing.
Positioning
Combining Claude and Microsoft Copilot
The right choice depends on the task, data access and your existing platform. Claude and Microsoft 365 Copilot can play different roles.
Claude
Worth testing for document-heavy tasks and multi-step workflows where context from several sources matters.
Microsoft 365 Copilot
Works directly in apps such as Teams, Outlook and Word. Permissions and work context belong in the plan.
Working together
We map tasks, user groups and data access up front, for an architecture you can follow instead of disconnected tools.
FAQ
Questions about Anthropic, Claude and AURUM
Is AURUM an official Anthropic (Claude) partner?
Yes. AURUM is a Registered Partner in the Claude Partner Network by Anthropic. More than ten of our consultants hold Anthropic certifications. AURUM is also a Microsoft Solutions Partner and an OpenAI Solution Provider.
What does a Claude partner like AURUM do?
We identify suitable use cases with you, choose the right access route and plan, clarify data protection and works-council questions, build a prototype with your own examples and then integrate Claude into Microsoft 365, Azure or your business systems. Afterwards we support operations and training.
How much does Claude Enterprise cost for a mid-sized company?
Anthropic lists Claude Enterprise at US$20 per user per month billed annually (minimum 20 users) plus usage-based costs at API rates; Claude Team costs €18 per user per month with annual payment (as of 9 November 2026, excl. tax). The total depends on the number of users, seat types and usage. We work it out with you based on your user groups.
Does AURUM sell Claude licences?
No. AURUM advises on licences and plans and carries out the rollout; you sign the contract directly with Anthropic. On request we can introduce a licence partner. The first call is free and non-binding.
Claude or Microsoft 365 Copilot: which one fits better?
Often both. Copilot works directly in Outlook, Teams and Word; Claude is strong with long documents and multi-step workflows. Claude models can be enabled in Copilot, and in EU tenants an administrator has to switch them on. We map tasks, user groups and data access in advance.
Is Claude compliant with GDPR for business use?
For Team, Enterprise and API, the data processing agreement is part of the contract terms, and Anthropic does not use inputs from commercial offerings for training by default. Private plans such as Pro do not belong in business use. For claude.ai, Anthropic does not publish an EU processing option; routes via cloud platforms such as AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex AI can run in EU regions. Our Claude GDPR guide explains the details. This is not legal advice.
Do you support companies in Austria and Switzerland?
Yes. Besides Nuremberg we have an office in Baar, Switzerland. We support companies in Austria and the rest of the DACH region remotely and on site where needed.
