ECS, an IT systems integrator focused on data and AI, cybersecurity, and enterprise transformation solutions, and an ASGN (NYSE: ASGN) brand, has partnered with SAS, a global leader in data and AI, to help federal agencies and commercial health systems modernize, streamline, and enhance their AI capabilities. The partnership will focus on health AI solutions that enable customers to reduce clinician burnout, optimize supply chains and patient scheduling, automate contact center support, and more.

A longtime provider of health IT solutions for federal customers, ECS has a longstanding history of providing data and AI/ML mission solutions across the federal government. SAS provides cutting-edge analytics, machine learning, and decision intelligence through its agile, user-friendly SAS® Viya® platform.

As an SAS Partner, ECS will deliver SAS solutions to federal agencies to address complex operational needs across a range of critical applications — from public safety and health monitoring, to risk management, operational efficiency, resource management, and policy and compliance oversight.

"ECS provides state-of-the-art data management, analytics, and AI services across the federal government,” said Tom Lapato, vice president of Civilian Health Accounts at ECS. “And SAS has been a trusted solution provider to the federal government for nearly 50 years, with tens of thousands of federal professionals now using SAS solutions. Our partnership will help to advance our customers’ missions in significant ways."

"We're at a compelling moment where AI is poised to transform productivity and outcomes in healthcare," said SAS Federal Director Caroline Baldwin.
