Winston Score History

The full picture

Information Services Group (ISG) is a research and advisory firm that helps large companies make better decisions about technology and outsourcing. Its main services include market research reports, consulting, and benchmarking studies that tell businesses how much they should be paying for IT services and whether their technology vendors are doing a good job. Its customers are mostly big corporations and government agencies across industries like banking, healthcare, and manufacturing.

ISG makes money by selling subscriptions to its research, charging fees for consulting projects, and licensing its data and benchmarking tools. The company operates globally, with a presence in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, and generates roughly $300 million in annual revenue. Its competitive edge comes from its proprietary database of IT contract and pricing data, which is hard for rivals to replicate quickly. The main risk is that large companies cut consulting budgets during economic downturns, which can quickly reduce ISG's project-based revenue.
