Description: III Information October 29, 2025
Information Services Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:III) is an AI-focused technology research and advisory firm operating across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Its service portfolio spans digital transformation-including sourcing advisory, cloud and data analytics, and change management-plus governance, risk, network carrier, and technology strategy solutions delivered through platforms such as ISG Digital, ISG Enterprise, ISG Research, ISG GovernX, and ISG Tango.
According to the company’s most recent Form 10-K, III generated roughly **$1.1 billion** in revenue for FY 2023, reflecting an **8% year-over-year increase** driven largely by higher AI-related consulting fees (up ~20% YoY). The firm’s operating margin hovered around **6%**, consistent with the broader Data Processing & Outsourced Services sub-industry, where average margins sit near 5-7% (S&P Global). A key macro driver is the accelerating corporate spend on cloud and AI solutions, which the IDC forecasts will grow at a **35% CAGR** through 2027, underpinning demand for ISG’s advisory and managed-governance services across its core verticals-manufacturing, financial services, health sciences, and utilities.
