BASKING RIDGE, N.J., June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascendion, an AI-native software engineering company, has been named a Leader in the Integrated Platform and Application Services quadrant of the ISG Provider Lens Digital Engineering Services 2026 report.
ISG's report captures an industry at a turning point. Enterprises are moving beyond fragmented modernization efforts, pilots with limited impact, and purely technical change versus changing how work gets done. Now, leaders are seeking operating model transformation to reduce technical debt, accelerate delivery, drive growth, and move from pilot to production without breaking. That is exactly where Ascendion succeeds.
"This is what's possible when AI moves from an experiment to being responsible for outcomes," said Karthik Krishnamurthy, Chief Executive Officer, Ascendion. "Using our Engineering to the Power of AI method, AI agents and our engineers work together at enterprise scale to deliver the impact enterprise leaders need. Companies that will lead the next decade will operationalize agentic AI securely and at scale. We've designed the company to ensure that clients thrive in the era of AI operating models. We're honored that ISG's recognition reflects the outcomes our clients are seeing."
