AI and technology transformation solutions organization UST has announced it has signed on as Anthropic’s second Global Premier Partner in the Claude Partner Network.
The agreement will not only strengthen UST’s position within the Claude Partner Network Services Tier but also expand its ability to help organizations move from experimentation to trusted, large-scale deployment.
UST brings Claude models into engineering and operations workloads
Through this partnership, UST will integrate Claude into its engineering environments and operational workflows, which the company designs, builds, and runs for clients. The addition of Claude will help organizations move from isolated AI pilots to enterprise-scale AI embedded into business systems.
UST’s implementation, engineering, and domain expertise will also enable customers to adopt Claude swiftly and responsibly within existing enterprise environments.
“Our alliance with Anthropic reflects UST’s unwavering commitment to helping clients navigate the AI landscape with confidence and achieve meaningful business outcomes,” said Krishna Sudheendra, CEO, UST.
“By combining the capabilities of Claude with UST’s engineering, industry knowledge, and delivery expertise, we are bringing to market industry-specific platforms and digital and engineering solutions that improve productivity, accelerate business outcomes, and help clients operationalize AI-led decisions in a safe and secure environment.”

Claude is enhancing UST’s engineering platforms
UST’s engineering platforms that semiconductor, automotive, manufacturing, telecom, embedded, and IoT companies use for design verification, semiconductor validation, factory operations, and field service will benefit from Claude’s integration.
Teams will be able to catch design flaws earlier, speed up chip validation, and integrate hardware and software into a single system, building a foundation for physical AI.
Accelerating industry and enterprise workflows
UST will also integrate Claude into selected industry platforms and horizontal enterprise platforms in the healthcare, telecom, and banking spaces.
Healthcare AI use cases include claims and care management
In the healthcare space, UST’s CarePath will use Claude to streamline member services, care management, and claim workflows, providing care teams with a single, real-time view.
Specifically, Claude Code and MCP connectors will link the platform directly to claims and care management systems, while an agentic layer routes each recommended action for approval before it reaches a member.
The enhanced platform will help teams turn healthcare data into clear next steps, improve patient and member engagement, and resolve issues faster while staying within crucial healthcare data governance controls.
Claude modernizes telecom and networking operations
In terms of telecom, UST IntelliOps will see Claude introduced to its network operations, service assurance, and OSS/BSS modernizations.
IntelliOps will have Claude’s reasoning integrated to help operators identify service issues, predict RAN failures, and reduce outage duration through approved response workflows and secure system integrations.
This integration will give telecom operators fewer SLA penalties, shorter customer-facing outages, and less time NOC teams spend sorting signal from noise.
Claude automates document and onboarding workflows in banking
Additionally, in the banking arena, UST FinX will see Claude drive its AI capabilities to accelerate onboarding, automate document processing, and provide staff with faster access to account and compliance data – within FinX’s built-in governance and audit controls.
“UST helps the world’s banks, telecoms, and manufacturers put new technology to work,” said Paul Smith, Chief Commercial Officer, Anthropic. “They’re proving Claude inside their own engineering first, training 20,000 of their own people on it, before bringing it into the systems they build and run for clients.”
In due time, UST will bring Claude into its retail, consumer goods, and manufacturing platforms to improve merchandising, inventory planning, digital commerce, and supply chain execution.
How UST is accelerating its own operations through Anthropic AI
UST is deploying Claude capabilities across contracts, legal, talent, marketing, infrastructure, and finance.
UST teams are also transforming manual processes into reusable, Claude-native workflows, while developing role-specific Claude skills to support key functions.
Guardrails and human oversight at critical points are key to these workflows, ensuring that automation supports accountability and informs judgment at speed.
“We are wiring Claude into how UST designs, builds, and runs solutions across our consulting, platforms, engineering services, and industry offerings,” said Manu Gopinath, President, UST. “This alliance with Anthropic helps us deliver higher-value outcomes for clients while advancing UST’s transformation into an AI-native organization built on trust, human oversight, and long-term impact.”
UST’s commitment to training 20,000 developers and experts is a core tenet of the alliance.
These associates will be certified on Claude worldwide across roles, such as architects, engineers, consultants, industry specialists, and forward-deployed engineers.
