Upcoming ISG Provider Lens^® report will evaluate specialist providers helping life sciences enterprises accelerate innovation, improve patient outcomes

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2026-- Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining specialist providers of analytics and AI services that integrate data across research, clinical, commercial and post-market functions of the life sciences industry.

The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens^® report, called Specialty Analytics and AI Services — Life Sciences, scheduled to be released in September 2026. The report will cover companies offering specialized analytics and AI services to life sciences enterprises, excluding platform vendors and large service providers.

Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the report to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.

As data and AI become central to life sciences innovation and operations, enterprises are increasingly relying on specialist analytics and AI services providers to accelerate digital transformation. Organizations are applying next-generation analytics, including predictive modeling, to derisk drug discovery, optimize clinical trial design and execution, accelerate time to market and enhance sales effectiveness. Through advanced AI techniques such as GenAI and agentic AI, they are generating in-depth insights into disease progression, treatment effectiveness and safety, supporting more informed decision-making across R&D, clinical and commercial functions.

“Growing volumes of clinical and real-world data present a significant opportunity for life sciences enterprises, yet innovation must advance within strict privacy and compliance frameworks,” said Namratha Dharshan, chief business leader at ISG. “Specialist providers play a critical role in enabling secure, actionable analytics adoption that improves regulatory readiness, operational productivity and patient outcomes.”

ISG has distributed surveys to approximately 20 specialty analytics and AI service providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce one quadrant representing the analytics and AI services that typical life sciences enterprises are buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The quadrant is:

• Specialty Analytics and AI Services — Life Sciences, evaluating providers delivering custom analytics and AI solutions across the life sciences value chain. Providers are assessed on their ability to operationalize analytics at scale within highly regulated environments and demonstrate expertise spanning R&D analytics, clinical trials and pharmacovigilance.

The study will cover the global market for specialty analytics and AI services in the life sciences and examine products and services available globally. ISG analysts Manav Deep Sachdeva and Saravanan M S will serve as authors of the report.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as specialty analytics and AI service providers for the life sciences industry can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study.

All 2026 ISG Provider Lens^® evaluations feature expanded customer experience (CX) data that measures actual enterprise experience with specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG’s continuous CX research.
