STAMFORD, Conn., Jan. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a new research study examining the social business and collaboration market.

Results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ report on social business and collaboration, scheduled to be released in June. ISG enterprise clients will be able to use information from the report to evaluate their current vendor relationships and potential new engagements.

"Social business and collaboration services are becoming more important to enterprise clients as they strive to meet the demands of an increasingly younger set of customers and employees," said Esteban Herrera, partner and global leader of ISG Research. "This report will identify many lesser-known as well as more familiar providers able to provide these services."

ISG has sent surveys to nearly 80 companies offering products or services related to social business and collaboration. The four social business quadrants covered include:

  • Enterprise Social Collaboration Software, including enterprise social networks, next-generation intranet solutions, instant messaging and audio- and video-based collaboration;
  • Enterprise Social Collaboration (Consulting and Integration) Services, aimed at services, including knowledge management, email and conferencing, that offer users productivity enhancements through new and improved ways of communicating;
  • Social Media Management Software Solutions, making it easier for businesses to monitor, listen, interact and collaborate with their target audiences;
  • Social Media Management ― Consulting and Integration, which helps organizations roll out social media management products.

The report will cover the global market, as well as examine products and services available in the U.S. and Germany. ISG analyst Mrinal Rai will serve as the lead author for the report.
