What the ISG Recognition Means
The ISG Provider Lens™ report, compiled by Information Services Group (ISG), is a benchmark for evaluating the world’s leading technology providers. It assesses companies based on their strategic vision, innovative solutions, and ability to deliver comprehensive services within the mainframe ecosystem. Astadia/Amdocs stood out in the Mainframe Application Modernization Software category, earning praise for its expertise in transformation services, cutting-edge automation, cloud migration capabilities, and proven methodologies.
For the second year running, Astadia has secured its spot in the Leader quadrant—a testament to its robust product offerings, strong market presence, and competitive edge. According to the report, “The product portfolios and competitive strategies of Leaders are strongly positioned to win business in the markets covered by the study. The Leaders also represent innovative strength and competitive stability.”
Driving Modernization with GenAI
Astadia’s success is fueled by its forward-thinking approach, particularly its integration of generative AI (GenAI) into its modernization toolkit. Scott G. Silk, Chairman and CEO of Astadia, emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation: “We’re honored to be named a Leader by ISG. This recognition reflects our deep commitment to helping organizations modernize mission-critical systems, reduce risk, and accelerate digital transformation.” He highlighted how Astadia leverages its FastTrack Migration Factory and GenAI tools to deliver tailored, high-impact solutions that meet the growing demand for agility in today’s complex business landscape.
The report also spotlighted Astadia’s scalable modernization strategies and the potential of its GenAI modernization agent, which enhances analysis, documentation, and quality engineering. Jan Erik Aase, global leader of ISG Provider Lens Research, noted, “GenAI is accelerating mainframe migration by reducing risk. Enterprises evaluating their mainframes’ future now have less to fear and more to gain.”
The Bigger Picture: GenAI’s Role in Mainframe Evolution
The 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ report, covering the U.S. and Brazil, reveals a broader trend: GenAI is revolutionizing how enterprises and service providers approach mainframe modernization. While GenAI applications aren’t yet running directly on mainframes, companies are harnessing these tools to slash coding costs and timelines. John Schick, ISG’s consulting lead on mainframe computing, observed, “The functions that mainframes have always performed are still essential to many enterprises, and GenAI provides new ways to maximize their value.”
Interestingly, the report indicates that some U.S. companies are opting to reengineer mainframe software rather than simply shifting it to the cloud, thanks to GenAI-powered advancements in application modernization techniques. This shift highlights the technology’s transformative potential, opening up new possibilities for businesses aiming to future-proof their operations.
With over 30 years of experience in mainframe and midrange systems, Astadia brings a wealth of expertise to the table. As an Amdocs Company, it serves some of the world’s largest enterprises across industries like banking, insurance, government, aviation, manufacturing, and telecommunications. Its strong global delivery model ensures that clients receive secure, scalable, and cost-effective modernization programs tailored to their unique needs.
Astadia’s recognition as a Leader in the 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ report is more than just an award—it’s a reflection of its ongoing mission to empower enterprises in their digital transformation journeys. As GenAI continues to reshape the mainframe landscape, Astadia remains at the forefront, delivering solutions that blend innovation with reliability.
