UST, a leader in digital transformation solutions, has acquired the automation unit of Information Services Group (ISG) for USD 27 million in an all-cash deal.

This acquisition strengthens UST's position in the intelligent automation space, enhancing its partner ecosystem and expanding its service offerings.

The newly acquired unit includes over 120 senior automation consultants and technologists across the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Canada, and Germany, positioning UST to expand its global reach.

This strategic move will allow UST to deliver more comprehensive automation solutions, transforming industries, boosting productivity, and improving customer experiences through AI, robotic process automation (RPA), and other automation technologies.

Sajesh Gopinath, General Manager of UST Automation, said, "Building on the success of the UST SmartOps platform, as well as our current services and partnerships, this strategic acquisition represents a significant step forward for the UST Automation team, enabling greater intelligent automation consulting capabilities and allowing us to broaden our partner ecosystem."

Global technology research and advisory firm Information Services Group provides intelligent automation solutions using artificial intelligence (AI), robotic process automation (RPA), and automation technologies. It helps clients across industries optimise business processes, enhance customer experience, and reduce operational costs.
