ECI, the leading Modern Intelligent Service Provider (MISP) for the global financial services industry, today announced that it has joined the Anthropic Claude Partner Network, further strengthening its capability to help hedge funds, private equity firms and other regulated financial organizations adopt artificial intelligence securely, responsibly and at scale.
The Anthropic Claude Partner Network brings together a select group of technology providers, consultants and solution specialists committed to helping organizations realize the value of enterprise AI. Through the partnership, ECI gains enhanced access to Anthropic's technology, training, technical resources and best practices, enabling the firm to deliver deeper expertise and support to clients navigating AI adoption.
As financial institutions accelerate AI adoption, there are increasing questions on how to balance innovation with GRC requirements. Anthropic's evolving capabilities alongside ECI's deep understanding of the financial services operating environment will provide clients with the necessary expertise to implement effective solutions. Organizations will be able to leverage ECI's expertise to evaluate Claude alongside other leading AI models, identify the most appropriate use cases and deploy solutions that align with both business objectives and regulatory expectations. The partnership provides direct benefits across strategy, implementation, governance and ongoing optimization.
"Joining the Anthropic's Claude Partner Network is a natural extension of what we've been building at ECI since 2023,” said Rich Itri, ECI’s Chief Innovation Officer. “We have a comprehensive capability to help financial firms adopt AI in a way that is secure, governed and built for the realities of a regulated environment. This partnership gives our clients access to deeper expertise, better tooling, and a validated approach to evaluating and deploying frontier AI models. This asserts our position at the Modern Intelligent Service Provider. It is in our DNA to lead our clients with strategy, platform and infrastructure into the next decade.”
The announcement builds on ECI's growing AI practice, which includes AI strategy and governance services and ELLA, ECI's proprietary enterprise AI platform. ELLA enables firms to securely deploy and manage large language models within a controlled environment, providing visibility, oversight and compliance controls designed specifically for regulated organizations.
As an MISP, ECI combines managed services, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, data intelligence and AI expertise to help financial firms operate securely, intelligently and at scale.
