This week, as InterWorks celebrates 30 years in business, we are also excited to share that we’re now a Claude Certified Consulting Partner with Anthropic!
Over three decades, we’ve helped organizations navigate major technology shifts: IT infrastructure, business intelligence/data platforms and now AI. Each time, the lesson is the same: The tool matters, but how you deploy, govern and adopt it matters more. Underneath all of that is people who make it happen. Tools only work when they’re designed for how people actually work, not the other way around.
Claude was built this way from the start. Organizations of all sizes and in all industries are deploying it and seeing real productivity gains. The question is whether you have the right support to make it work for your organization right now and in the future at the speed of change. That’s where InterWorks comes in with our extensive catalog of Claude services and solutions.
Our AI Practice: From Internal Adoption to Client Success
18 months ago, InterWorks looked like most organizations do now: Claude adoption was happening in pockets across the company. The standard approach felt wrong: prohibit everything, move slowly, require approvals for every use case and so on. People want to use good tools instead of getting hung up on limitations or red tape. Of course, going ungoverned isn’t ideal either.
So, we built a program that trusted people and held them accountable. We said yes to Claude but with governance thought out from the start. Role-based access meant people could use the right model for their job. We brought legal and security in early, set up cost monitoring and trained people in different ways depending on their role.
Fast forward to now: All facets of our business use Claude daily. Project teams ship faster. Developers write better code. Consultants deliver better and faster results. We have leaders and builders across the organization who are Claude Certified Architects, validated by Anthropic to design and build production-grade AI systems.
That lived experience now shapes how we work with clients like Keplr Vision, a management services organization providing non-clinical administrative support services to optometry practices nationwide. They grew from 12 Claude users in May to 107 by September in 2026. In the initial 90-day trial period alone, Claude automation recovered 160 hours of back-office work. As adoption spread, so did the savings: Keplr’s legal team now handles discovery in-house that used to go to outside counsel. Read the full success story here.
When Claude deployments stall, it’s not because Claude doesn’t work, but because organizations don’t know how to make it scale and fail to understand how to customize it for what their business needs.
Five Ways We Help Organizations with Claude
We work across five core services:
- Advisory. We assess where Claude actually fits in your organization. What are the real use cases? What governance does your company need? Sometimes we tell clients their data governance is too messy or their security posture isn’t ready. That’s a hard conversation, but it’s the right one.
- Deployment with governance. Most organizations deploy Claude and then try to bolt governance on afterward. We build it in at a foundational level: role-based access, policies, cost monitoring, clear expectations. The goal is to let people innovate without creating risk.
- Training and adoption. We run role-based training. Engineers need different conversations than project managers or executives. We also set up ongoing support and measure adoption over time so we can adjust what’s working.
- Ongoing operations. Claude gets better every month. Your needs evolve. We monitor usage, spending and emerging use cases so we can tell you what’s changing and what comes next.
- Building into production. A working prototype isn’t a product. We take what you built with Claude, add the architecture, security, testing and operations that make it reliable, then keep it running with AI dev services and managed services.
What Becomes Possible with Claude
For organizations already working with InterWorks on Snowflake or Sigma, the Claude partnership creates immediate compounding value. Sigma just launched native Claude Dashboards integration, so your teams can prototype in Claude and send directly to Sigma for governance. We’ve also documented how we’re using Claude across real client engagements in our AI Use Case Library: governed Snowflake connections, autonomous agents and data migration bots.
For everyone, the principle is the same: Claude is most valuable when it’s part of how your data and analytics platform works, not a separate initiative.
Why This Partnership Aligns with Our Mission
InterWorks was founded in 1996 on three ideas: solving technical problems is fun, helping people get through them makes a difference and doing this work alongside people who care about it means it never really feels like work. That was true 30 years ago. It’s true now.
The technology changes, but the fundamentals don’t: good tools, good governance, good people. Claude is the third major technology wave we’ve navigated as a company. We know organizations need human experts to help them figure out if it’s right for them, how to deploy it without creating risk and how to make it stick.
That’s the work we do. That’s why this partnership makes sense.
Let’s Talk
If you’re exploring Claude, running pilots that aren’t sticking, or trying to scale adoption, we can help. Start with a conversation. Tell us where you are and what’s keeping you up at night. We’ll listen and help you figure out what a responsible Claude deployment looks like for your organization.
You might need a full advisory engagement first. You might be ready to deploy immediately. You might discover you need to fix your data governance before Claude can scale. Whatever the answer is, we’ll tell you straight.
