Information Services Group, Inc. announced that it has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) software research practice to help enterprises take advantage of new AI capabilities available across hundreds of software providers. The new offering from Ventana Research, the software research business of ISG, provides research and expert guidance on AI technologies to help enterprises transform through AI and generative AI. Going beyond earlier methods of analytics and machine learning, the transformation of AI received a boost with the late 2022 launch of generative AI, enabling conversational experiences between humans and machines.

Over a third (39 percent) of organizations are already finding many positive outcomes from their use of AI, according to a recent ISG Market Lens? study. The new AI research offering includes six focus areas: Computer Vision, Deep Learning, Generative AI, Machine Learning Operations, Model Building and Large Language Models and Natural Language Processing.

Each area explores the use cases and requirements needed to successfully apply AI technologies. Ventana Research will produce a 2024 Buyers Guide on AI Platforms that will include an assessment of Generative AI Platforms and Machine Learning Operations to help enterprises understand and assess software providers. This Buyers Guide is a new component of Ventana Research?s AI software research framework for 2024 that also delivers insights on AI software used for business, IT and specific industries.

Ventana Research?s enhanced AI research offering builds on the research and guidance the firm has provided over the last two decades as these technologies have evolved. It will complement the new ISG Enterprise AI Advisory business, launched in January, to advise clients on how to navigate the complexities and implications of adopting artificial intelligence at scale.
