The firm employs around 1,500 professionals, and last month launched a new unit, ISG Marketing Advisory, combining consulting, design and implementation services for enterprise marketing leaders, and headed up by Kaveri Camire.

Q3 revenues were $41.9million in the Americas, down 1% reported; in Europe $17.0m. up 6%; and in Asia Pacific $6.2m, up 47%.

Chairman and CEO Michael P. Connors (pictured) describes the performance as 'robust,' noting strong cash generation, expanding margins and solid revenue growth.' He comments: 'Revenue in the quarter was driven by a return to growth in Asia Pacific, up 47 percent; AI-related revenues reaching over $30 million for the first time and recurring revenues continuing to build, up 7 percent. This mix of growth helped drive margin expansion to 15.4 percent, our highest quarterly margin in four years.'

Growth was somewhat slower than it was in the buoyant second quarter, but still much improved from a flat Q1.
