Information Services Group (ISG), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched a comprehensive research study to examine how providers are supporting enterprises in transitioning from fragmented workplace tools to fully orchestrated, experience-led hybrid work environments. The study focuses on digital workplace services and AI-enabled platforms that advance hybrid workplace strategy, operations, and employee experience.

Enterprises increasingly face the challenge of boosting productivity while managing complex hybrid setups. They are seeking integrated solutions that blend strategic advisory expertise with intelligent platforms to drive sustained digital workplace modernization.

  • ISG is conducting research for Future of Work — Services and Future of Work — Solutions reports, set for release in July 2026.
  • The Services report evaluates providers in workplace strategy, digital operations, AI-augmented collaboration, and smart sustainable workplaces.
  • The Solutions report assesses Digital Employee Experience (DEX) platforms and AI-enabled end-user computing solutions.
  • Surveys distributed to ~220 service providers and ~80 solution providers globally to identify market leaders.
  • Four quadrants in Services cover strategy/enablement, operations/support, AI collaboration, and smart/sustainable services.
  • Two quadrants in Solutions focus on DEX monitoring/insights and AI-driven end-user computing with predictive analytics.

Research Scope: Future of Work — Services

The upcoming ISG Provider Lens® Future of Work — Services report will assess providers across four key quadrants to help enterprises build effective hybrid work models.

Workplace Strategy and Enablement Services evaluate providers that integrate human, digital, and physical workplace elements while delivering sustainability strategies aligned with organizational goals.

Digital Workplace Operations and Support Services examine providers responsible for end-to-end building, transitioning, and operating digital workplaces, including omnichannel service desk and contextualized end-user support.

AI-augmented Collaboration and Experience Services cover providers that deploy and optimize AI-driven collaboration tools, such as copilots and contextual assistants, to enhance communication and teamwork in hybrid settings.

Smart and Sustainable Workplace Services assess providers focused on optimizing physical spaces for hybrid collaboration, including space utilization, energy efficiency, environmental impact reduction, and employee well-being.

Research Scope: Future of Work — Solutions

The Future of Work — Solutions report will evaluate technology platforms that support modern digital workplaces.

Digital Employee Experience (DEX) Solutions quadrant reviews providers offering end-user experience management and telemetry-based insights, with capabilities for continuous endpoint monitoring and automated remediation.

AI-enabled End-user Computing Solutions quadrant analyzes providers integrating AI into modern end-user computing technologies to deliver predictive analytics, automation, and enhanced security for workplace environments.

Geographically focused versions of the Services report will cover global markets as well as the U.S., U.K., Australia, Brazil, Germany, Switzerland, and the U.S. public sector. The research draws on ISG’s extensive client experience and includes expanded customer experience data to reflect real enterprise feedback.

“Enterprises are under growing pressure to enhance productivity and manage increasingly complex hybrid work environments,” said Iain Fisher, director at ISG. “With AI delivering value in both routine and complex use cases, companies seek providers that combine strategic advisory services with intelligent platforms for sustained digital workplace modernization.”

These reports will equip enterprise buyers to assess current vendors, explore new partnerships, and identify suitable offerings, while supporting ISG advisors in guiding clients toward optimal provider selections.
