Release – ISG to Study UKG Pro Ecosystem Service Providers

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens® report will evaluate providers that modernize workforce operations with AI, data integration and continuous optimization

STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining service providers helping enterprises adopt more data-centric, AI-enabled approaches to workforce management through the UKG Pro ecosystem.

The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens® report, called UKG Pro Ecosystem, scheduled to be released in October 2026. The report will cover companies offering transformation, deployment, integration and performance and optimization services for UKG Pro environments.

Enterprise buyers will be able to use the report’s insights to evaluate their current vendor relationships, identify potential new engagements and compare available offerings. ISG advisors will use the research to guide clients through increasingly complex transformation and platform investment decisions.

Organizations increasingly are adopting AI-enabled HR capabilities, unified workforce data architectures and continuous optimization models to improve workforce intelligence, operational efficiency and employee experiences. As enterprises seek providers that support long-term transformation, AI readiness, organizational change management and post-deployment HCM platform optimization, the UKG Pro service partner ecosystem is evolving beyond implementation-focused engagements to deliver more intelligent, integrated and data-driven workforce operations.

“Enterprises are looking beyond core HCM deployments and focusing on intelligent, continuously evolving workforce operations,” said Namratha Dharshan, chief business leader, ISG. “Providers with UKG Pro expertise, AI readiness and data strategy capabilities will help organizations realize greater value from workforce technology investments.”

ISG has distributed surveys to approximately 50 UKG Pro ecosystem providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce three quadrants representing the UKG Pro services the typical enterprise is buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The three quadrants are:

  • Transformation Services, evaluating providers that guide enterprises through HCM transformation strategy, operating model redesign, organizational change management and AI readiness planning for UKG Pro environments.
  • Deployment and Integration Services,assessing providers that design, configure and deploy UKG Pro solutions while integrating them with broader enterprise technology ecosystems through scalable architectures and migration frameworks.
  • Performance and Optimization Services, covering providers that help enterprises sustain, optimize and continuously improve UKG Pro environments through application management, analytics development, managed services and AI-enabled operational enhancements.

This report produced from the study will cover the global UKG Pro ecosystem market and examine products and services available in the U.S. ISG analyst Gaurang Pagdi will serve as the author of the report.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as UKG Pro ecosystem service providers can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study.

All 2026 ISG Provider Lens evaluations feature expanded customer experience (CX) data capturing real-world enterprise feedback on specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG’s continuous CX research.

Release – ISG Event to Explore How Enterprises Are Delivering Strategic Value From AI

STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, will welcome enterprise leaders to the 2026 ISG AI Impact Summit to share strategies for delivering measurable, sustainable business value from AI initiatives.

Leaders from DraftKings, State Street, Pfizer, New York Life Insurance Company, Novartis, CVS Health, Bank of America, National Grid, SharkNinja and more will join the event, June 2 – 3 at the Wyndham Boston Beacon Hill. The summit agenda will focus on strategies for realizing value from AI and overcoming the challenges of fragmented operating models, inadequate governance and data architectures and unclear accountability for humans and AI systems.

“Organizations are confronting deeper operational questions around accountability, governance, ROI and infrastructure readiness, as AI evolves from a productivity tool into an autonomous operating layer,” said Loren Absher, director and Americas lead, ISG AI Advisory, and host of the ISG AI Impact Summit Boston. “The next phase of enterprise AI is about redesigning how business gets done.”

On the first day of the summit, Brian Walker, senior vice president of AI and Operations at DraftKings, will deliver a keynote session, “Building the AI-Native Operation: Lessons From Inside DraftKings,” on how AI is reshaping engineering, product and operational workflows, offering insights on how to decide whether to build, buy or partner for AI at scale.

The “Closing the AI ROI Gap: Why Investment is Outpacing Impact” panel discussion will feature Barbara Widholm, vice president, emerging technologies, State Street; Vivek Mukhatyar, GenAI medical engagement lead, Pfizer, and Abhishek Kumar, corporate vice president, New York Life Insurance Company, discussing the widening disconnect between AI spending and measurable business outcomes, including challenges related to governance, value attribution and scaling AI adoption.

Scott Bradley, vice president, AI & Innovation, Novartis; Radha Kuchibhotla, lead director, AI solutions design, CVS Health, and Maharaj Mukherjee, senior AI architect and senior vice president, Bank of America, will join the “Accountability by Design (not by Accident)” panel discussion to discuss governance, decision rights and accountability frameworks for human-AI operating models.

Day one will conclude with the ISG Startup Challenge, featuring Ajay Joshi, CEO, CipherSonic AI; Madhu Kumar, CEO, Amadis Technologies, and Shrey Sambhwani, chief product officer, Linc AI, pitching their innovative AI solutions to a panel of judges for an audience vote.

On day two of the summit, Bethany Singer-Baefsky, chief privacy and data governance officer, National Grid, will deliver the keynote presentation, “Governance is Not a Four-Letter-Word (but T-Rex is): Responsible AI as Competitive Advantage,” demonstrating how AI governance and data protection can drive innovation and enterprise differentiation.

Elaine Desmond, senior director, Shared Services for BJ’s Wholesale Club, will join the “New Economics of AI: Build, Buy, and the Cost Models Behind Scaling” panel discussion, and Akiba Stern, partner with Loeb & Loeb, LLP, will share practical takeaways for negotiating, in “Rewriting the Rules: What AI Is Doing to Your Contracts (and Your Leverage).”

The “Production-Ready Data: Bridging the Gap Between Insight and Action” panel discussion will feature Rohit Arora, senior director, Privacy and AI Governance, SharkNinja, and Vipul Maheshwari, vice president, Technology, Pacific Life, examining why analytics-grade data often fails to support autonomous AI decision-making and what organizations must do to create auditable, explainable and production-ready data environments.

Additional summit sessions will explore the changing economics of enterprise AI, the trade-offs and architectural implications of AI platform and tooling decisions, and how enterprises can balance autonomy, flexibility and sustainable cost management.

Accenture, Wipro and Infosys are sponsors of the ISG AI Impact Summit. Additional information and registration are available on the event website.

Information Services Group (III) – Post Call Update


Monday, May 11, 2026

Joe Gomes, CFA, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Generalist , Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

AI. AI demand continues to accelerate for ISG. In the first quarter, ISG delivered $21 million of AI-related revenue, about a third of the firm-wide total, up from $12 million a year ago. AI-related revenue includes work where AI is a key part of the client solution, including AI research and insights, AI strategy, sourcing governance, operating model design, business case validation, software, tech provider evaluation, and transformation support. AI and the cost optimization initiatives that fund digital transformation remain leading areas of client investment, and that plays to ISG’s strengths, in our view.

ISG AI Index. The Company’s recently launched ISG AI Index underscores how the AI market continues to develop. Initial spending is concentrated in infrastructure as hyperscalers ramp up capacity to meet demand. Software and platform providers are beginning to monetize their AI capabilities, while managed services are still in the early stages, indicating the larger opportunity remains to come.

Improved Metrics. While fourth quarter revenue was down on a reported basis, it was in-line with our expectations and at the upper-end of management’s $57-$58 million guidance. Importantly, ISG delivered an improved gross margin of 41.5% from 38.3% last year due to higher utilization and the sale of its automation unit. Flowing through to the bottom line, adjusted EBITDA had an improved margin of 11.3% from 8.9% last year.
