Apper AI Solutions announcement: Now a Select Services Partner, with the Claude Partner Network Select Services Partner badge

Pasig City, Philippines, October 6, 2026. Apper Digital Inc. has achieved the Select partner tier in the Claude Partner Network Services Track.

Apper Digital Inc., which operates under the Apper AI Solutions brand, received its promotion from Anthropic's Claude Partner Network team on October 3, 2026. The Select tier recognizes partners whose Claude practice has been validated through certified people, joint customers, and published customer work.

About the Claude Partner Network

The Claude Partner Network is how Anthropic works with the firms that put Claude into production for 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. Partners advance through Certified, Select, Preferred, and Global Premier tiers.

As a Select partner, Apper may now use the Claude Partner badge and will be listed in the Claude Partner Network Directory. You can learn more about the program at claude.com/partners.

How Apper built its Claude practice

Apper reached Select by doing three things the program asks of every partner: certifying its people, delivering Claude for real customers, and publishing the results.

  • A certified delivery team. Apper's architects and engineers hold Claude certifications, led by founder Wawi del Mundo, a Claude Certified Architect - Professional. The team spans software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and machine learning.
  • Claude in production for customers. Through its Claude Professional Services program (Enable, Architect, and Build), Apper has trained client engineering teams and designed agentic systems on the Claude Agent SDK, Claude Code, and the Model Context Protocol. Engagements span logistics, BPO and shared services, financial services, and healthcare.
  • Work proven in public. Apper's first public customer story documents a ten-week engagement with D.W. Morgan Company, a US-headquartered supply chain and logistics firm. D.W. Morgan's engineers learned to build with Claude and then designed production-grade agents in-house, with D.W. Morgan owning every line of code.

Throughout these engagements, Apper designs for governance from the first day. Clients keep control of their data, and access follows the principle of minimum necessary, which is why regulated organizations are comfortable working with the team.

What this means for our clients

For clients, the Select tier is an assurance that the people building their AI systems have been trained and recognized on the platform they are investing in.

Philippine companies have access to the same AI models as the rest of the world. What has been harder to find is local delivery capacity: certified engineers who understand regulations such as the Data Privacy Act, work in the same time zone, and can sit with a bank, a BPO, or a hospital team until a system is running in production.

Apper's Claude practice covers that full journey:

  • AI strategy and use-case discovery, so leadership invests first in the processes where AI makes a measurable difference.
  • Custom AI agents and intelligent automation that read, reason, and act across a company's tools and workflows.
  • Document intelligence that turns contracts, forms, and records into structured, usable information.
  • Secure integration of Claude with ERPs, CRMs, databases, and internal systems.
  • Agentic AI engineering training, so client teams can maintain and extend what is built.

Because Apper is also an AWS Partner and a GCP Partner, the team can deploy Claude where a client's data and infrastructure already live.

A word from our founder

“We kept seeing the same pattern with our clients. Teams were excited about generative AI, they ran a demo or two, and then the project stalled because nobody had a plan for security, integration, or training the people who would use it every day. We built our Claude practice to close that gap. Reaching Select tells our clients that the team building their systems has been trained and recognized on Claude, and we are building from here.”

Apper will keep growing its certified bench, registering its delivery engagements, and publishing more customer stories as it continues to build its Claude practice.
