ISG operates as an AI-centered technology research and advisory company serving businesses worldwide. Its research covers technology markets, enterprise software, sourcing services, and digital transformation programs. Therefore, the awards form part of ISG’s broader research and industry recognition activities.

ISG Names Major Software Innovation Award Winners

SoundHound AI received the Overall Software Innovation award for technology supporting business and IT transformation. Meanwhile, Celonis secured the Artificial Intelligence Award for innovation across data, analytics, automation, and AI technologies. Legion Technologies won the Business and Technologies Award for its enterprise-focused software capabilities.

Minitab received the Industries Award for technology supporting specialized markets and business sectors. In addition, Veeam secured the Information Technology Award for innovation across enterprise technology infrastructure. The category covers areas including cloud services, cybersecurity, automation, networks, observability, and IT operations.

ISG Software Research analysts selected the award recipients based on the company’s technology research methodology. The awards recognize providers introducing software designed to improve enterprise processes and technology operations. Furthermore, ISG evaluates how software supports organizations across workforce, finance, revenue, infrastructure, and industry functions.

Paragon Awards Highlight Changing Enterprise Partnerships

ISG also introduced a revised methodology for its 2026 Paragon Awards in North America. The structure now recognizes five winner subcategories within each main award category. Each category receives equal standing under the updated awards framework.

The changes reflect expanding expectations for technology providers working with large enterprise clients. Companies increasingly expect providers to support innovation, governance, productivity, and measurable business results. As a result, providers now play broader roles beyond traditional technology delivery and outsourcing arrangements.

The Dallas event also recognized winners across other ISG industry award programs. These included the Provider Lens Awards and the Star of Excellence awards. Together, the programs highlighted technology providers, enterprise partnerships, and service performance across the North American market.
