Information Services Group (ISG), trading as Nasdaq: III, today released its 2025 Buyers Guide for Sustainability Management, ranking 20 established and 12 emerging software providers across three platform categories. The report finds that by 2027, half of enterprises will lack sufficient data and tools to measure environmental metrics, driving demand for applications that automate data collection, deliver audit-ready disclosures and support AI-enabled forecasting. Overall Leaders in the established category include Workiva, Salesforce and Oracle in Management; Salesforce, Workiva and Oracle in Insights; and Workiva, Oracle and Salesforce in Compliance. Among emerging providers, Pulsora, Watershed and Sweep lead the field. The research underscores the complexity of environmental reporting under double materiality and divergent global regulations, with the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and U.S. state rules heightening the need for flexible, integrated platforms.

In its 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Multi Public Cloud Services report for the U.S. public sector, III evaluated 34 service providers across four quadrants: Consulting and Transformation, Managed Services with FinOps, Hyperscale Infrastructure and SAP HANA services. The study highlights that state, local and education agencies are moving critical workloads into sovereign cloud regions to meet data residency mandates and ensure continuity during emergencies. IBM leads in four quadrants; Accenture, AWS, CGI, Deloitte, Kyndryl, Microsoft, NTT DATA, Rackspace Technology and Unisys lead in two each; Google, Infosys and SAP each top one quadrant. LTIMindtree earned the highest customer satisfaction in the Voice of the Customer survey, securing the global ISG CX Star Performer accolade.

ISG’s 2025 Provider Lens report for the Nordics assesses 52 providers across seven segments, revealing rapid evolution from selective cloud use to comprehensive AI-native, compliance-driven multicloud operating models. LTIMindtree and Vivicta top four quadrants as Leaders; Accenture, Capgemini, HCLTech and Orange Business lead three; AWS, Google, IBM, Infosys, Kyndryl, Microsoft and others lead two. The research highlights strong regional data center expansion, FinOps-as-code integration, zero-carbon operations requirements and sovereign cloud zones. Emerging models such as outcome-linked engagements and federated FinOps centers of excellence are becoming baseline expectations for Nordic enterprises.
