Sale of a Unit. Wednesday, ISG announced the sale of its non-core automation unit to UST, a digital transformation solutions company, for $27 million. At closing, ISG received $20 million in cash with $4 million to be released over the next 90 days and $3 million to be released at the end of 1Q25. Proceeds will be used for reducing debt, re-investing in the business, and returning capital to shareholders. Automation contributed roughly $30 million of annual revenue, including $18 million of recurring revenue.
AI Business. With large enterprises’ increasing focus on AI, ISG is placing more emphasis in this area and we believe is poised to capitalize on future spending through its AI Advisory and Research segments. Early indications of growing demand are showing with ISG Tango’s total contract value rising at the end of the second quarter.
