Thank you to the ECI Team for several productive meetings while we were in New York City a few weeks ago.
The strategy session between ECI and Accelerate Partners was highly productive, focusing on leveraging Generative AI, particularly, LLMs (Large Language Models) Microsoft copilot & Purview (data governance) to enhance operations. Discussions delved into the potential of large language model platforms like ELLA, exploring their applicability in the alternative investment industry. The session identified key areas for collaboration and highlighted the strategic advantages of integrating advanced AI technologies into both organizations’ frameworks, paving the way for innovative approaches and a competitive edge in the market.
The signature event had over 100 attendees with many Alternative Investment community VIPs. Learning about the technical and security requirements to deploy CoPilot and when Copilot is useful versus using ECI’s ELLA platform was interesting. To see the live demos drove home the usefulness of AI and how people can harness this power to make their jobs more productive and effective.
