Unlock the Full Potential of Your Software Investments with ISG Software Research
Maximize ROI on Your Largest Technology Investment
Software is likely your biggest technology investment, yet staying ahead of emerging technologies, managing platform upgrades, and making strategic decisions can overwhelm under-resourced IT teams. With the rise of AI reshaping business operations, your software architecture needs to evolve.
Unfortunately, many companies fall into 'default' non-decisions due to the complex market and lack of time to fully explore their options. Research from general sources like Google often lacks depth, and traditional firms restrict access to a few 'seat holders' for advisory sessions.
Introducing ISG Software Research
ISG Software Research changes the game by offering expert insights accessible to your entire team. Born out of the 2023 acquisition of Ventana Research, ISG Software Research brings over 20 years of expertise from one of the industry's most trusted business and IT advisors.
Consulting
Assessing and selecting technology and associated providers is challenging. IT resources are stretched thin. Software providers are not always as clear on their strategy or roadmap and the path to modernize and simplify the portfolio is complex with the broad range of options across the cloud. To turn these challenges into opportunities, businesses and IT must ensure they get the maximum return on the time, resources and financials they invest. Our Assessment and Workshop services are designed to accelerate your efforts and can augment the requirements for conducting an RFI to gain the knowledge to make critical technology decisions. Instead of just advisory or never-ending consulting hours type approaches, we provide a fixed time and price approach to meet your needs.
