The firm was founded in 2005 and also has offices in the German city of Kassel.

ISG says the buys accelerates the development of its subscription research business in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), its second-largest market after the Americas; and complements its acquisition of emerging IT trends analyst Saugatuck Technology, which now provides research and analysis on the future of business computing under the newly launched ISG Insights brand.

He adds: 'Experton's subscription revenue model, like that of Saugatuck Technology, further expands our growing and more predictable recurring revenue streams, which are targeted to reach 35 percent of firm revenue over the next few years'.

Experton co-founder and CEO Juergen Brettel says the two firms' offerings are 'highly complementary', and adds: 'our research focus aligns perfectly with ISG's growing Digital Services. In addition, our Vendor Benchmarking Services add a new capability to ISG that can be leveraged globally'.
