Enterprises across Europe and the United States are shifting their sustainability efforts from meeting regulatory requirements to delivering measurable financial and operational outcomes, according to ISG research.

ISG research shows enterprises are prioritizing efficiency, resilience, risk management and transparency – and are seeking technology partners that can translate data, AI and industry expertise into verifiable outcomes that support competitiveness and long-term value creation.

"Kyndryl is broadening its sustainability capabilities beyond IT infrastructure into data and operational technology, leveraging its existing customer base to scale and offering solutions relevant to customers globally," said Matt Warburton, Principal Consultant and Digital Sustainability Lead at ISG.

The Leader designation reflects Kyndryl's positioning in the 'IT Solutions and Services' quadrant, one of the core digital sustainability capability areas assessed by ISG. The study evaluates providers based on portfolio strength, market presence and demonstrated ability to deliver measurable sustainability outcomes for enterprise clients.

"Kyndryl's recognition as a Leader in the report reflects our commitment to helping customers run and transform their most critical technology systems in a more sustainable way," said Faith Taylor, Senior Vice President of Global Citizenship and Sustainability at Kyndryl. "By combining deep technical expertise with data, AI and a strong ecosystem partnership, we are enabling organizations to translate their sustainability ambitions into measurable outcomes."

According to ISG, Kyndryl's strengths include integrated environment optimization, application and algorithm efficiency, and strategic partnerships and technology integration. ISG notes that Kyndryl Sustainability Advisor combines consulting, managed services and a platform approach to centralize energy, emissions, water and e‑waste data across enterprise IT estates, leveraging Kyndryl Bridge – the Company's AI-powered, open-integration platform – for granular visibility across servers, virtual machines and applications.

ISG also highlights Kyndryl's work embedding sustainability into application development and management services, including reengineering applications and algorithms for energy efficiency and bias prevention, as well as its partnerships with hyperscalers to enhance sustainability solutions related to energy, carbon management and cloud migration impacts.

Ascendion Named Global Leader: ISG ranks Ascendion among the world's best in Generative AI strategy and delivery.

Turning Vision Into Velocity: AAVA^™, the Agentic AI platform, transforms strategy into measurable enterprise impact.

Humans + Agents, Working Better Together: Ascendion's agentic model boosts speed, quality, and trust across engineering.

Rising Star to Market Leader: Consecutive ISG honors underscore Ascendion's rapid ascent in AI-powered software engineering.

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascendion, a leader in AI-powered software engineering, has been recognized by ISG for redefining how enterprises deliver on the promise of AI — translating strategy into tangible business outcomes. Today, the company announces its recognition as a Global Leader for the second consecutive year in the ISG Provider Lens^® Generative AI Services 2025 study. Ascendion earned top tier leadership positions in two categories: Strategy & Consulting Services and Development & Deployment Services. These results reaffirm the company's position at the forefront of operationalizing Generative AI for enterprises. Access the full ISG report here.

As organizations struggle to move beyond experimentation, Ascendion's Agentic AI platform, AAVA^™, collapses the distance between strategy and execution, turning intent into engineered outcomes. By embedding autonomous agents and automation into live delivery pipelines, the company helps close the gap between vision and impact. Real-world results include up to 60% effort savings in data analysis for Fortune 50 banks, 50% productivity gains in automated form processing, and 40% faster time-to-market in complex software programs, all delivered through a human-in-the-loop model that ensures quality and trust.

"Ascendion operationalizes GenAI through a platform-centric model that integrates agentic workflows, modular delivery, and embedded consulting. Its structured approach enables scalable transformation across engineering, strategy, and compliance-driven environments with measurable alignment to enterprise adoption patterns," said Gowtham Kumar Sampath, Assistant Director and Principal Analyst, ISG.

Unlike advisory only models that stop at the whiteboard, Ascendion's Agentic design blends automated lifecycle execution with strategic human guidance, ensuring people remain the architects of innovation. This human plus agent model is powered by AAVA^™, the company's platform that improves work along the software development lifecycle with orchestrated agents, and reinforced by METal, Ascendion's intelligent talent orchestration engine. Together, they modernize enterprise systems faster, scale operations smarter, and sustain full governance across the engineering fabric.

"Our recognition by ISG as a global leader reflects the strength of our vision, platforms, and people," said Karthik Krishnamurthy, Chief Executive Officer, Ascendion. "We are leading enterprises beyond AI pilots to sustained business value. With our Engineering to the Power of AI platforms and models, we are changing how the industry delivers services and value. Our clients gain innovation velocity, economic advantage, and business impact needed to lead in the agentic era."

Ascendion continues to perform strongly across ISG assessments, demonstrating consistent momentum across its digital and AI-powered offerings. Last year, the company was recognized as a Rising Star in the 2024 ISG Provider Lens^® for Digital Engineering, and earlier this year, Ascendion earned Rising Star positions in two quadrants of the 2025 ISG Provider Lens^® for Digital Engineering Services.

Ascendion forges ahead to lead the new era of Engineering to the Power of AI. The company is delivering on its mission to unlock enterprise value by combining intelligent agents, modern engineering methods, and human ingenuity.
