The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ report, called Retail and CPG Services, scheduled to be released in July. The report will cover companies offering services for business transformation, digital innovation, software modernization and other functions in retail and CPG enterprises.

Consumer-facing businesses have seen their customers’ shopping habits and their own operating conditions change dramatically since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapid rise in online shopping and sudden supply-chain disruptions, both of which have had continuing repercussions, have forced consumer-facing companies to modify their business models and strategies. Companies have strengthened their efforts to improve customer experience, maximize efficiency and modernize core systems.
“Strong direct-to-consumer capabilities are now the key to survival in both retail and consumer packaged goods,” said
ISG has distributed surveys to approximately 60 retail and CPG service providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants representing the services the typical retail or CPG enterprise is buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The four quadrants are:
- Retail/CPG Business Transformation Services, evaluating providers’ abilities to help clients develop, implement and manage their transformations into digital-first and cloud-first enterprises, including assistance in sustaining changes over time.
- Retail/CPG Digital Innovation Services, assessing providers that offer new tools and methods to enhance business capabilities and help clients use the best tools most effectively to deliver greater value to customers.
- Platform Modernization Services, covering providers’ ability to modernize the software environments of retail and CPG companies, whether by modernizing key components or the entire core business software landscape.
- Managed Services, evaluating providers of services supporting functions including infrastructure, IT security and application development and management, optimized for retail and CPG clients.
