ISG acquires IT consulting company

Information Services Group Incorporated (ISG), an information services firm, recently announced its acquisition of STA Consulting, an information technology consultancy primarily serving the public sector.

Two companies that compose ISG will merge with STA Consulting as a result of the acquisition - TPI, the leading sourcing data and advisory firm in the world, which was acquired by ISG in November 2007, and Compass, which is provides IT benchmarking and performance improvement as well as data and analytics services. Compass was acquired by ISG in January 2011.

"We are pleased to welcome STA Consulting to ISG, immediately expanding our recurring revenue stream with multi-year engagements, strengthening our public sector vertical and increasing our expertise in IT strategic planning, ERP, enterprise administrative systems and project management," said Michael P. Connors, chairman and CEO of ISG. He added that as with the previous acquisition of Compass, this move by the company demonstrates its commitment to becoming a leading global information services firm that serves both public and private sector clients.

ISG was founded in Stamford, Connecticut in 2006.
