How ISG positions providers
The ISG Provider Lens evaluates the providers in each country in thematic quadrants. In each quadrant, the position comes from two axes: portfolio attractiveness (scope and quality of the offering, strategy and vision) and competitive strength (market position, brand awareness and customer satisfaction).
Leaders are at the top of both axes. Market Challengers stand out for their competitive strength in the segment. The full description is on the ISG Provider Lens methodology page.
