ISG, a leading global technology research and advisory firm, in its independent study, examined the market for analytics solutions and service providers and evaluated capabilities of 70 providers across six market segments, including Data Engineering, Data Science, Data Infrastructure & Cloud Integration Services, and ranked them in the quadrants based on portfolio attractiveness and competitive strengths.

ISG analysts recognized N-iX as a Rising Star in Data Engineering services for the UK market, and positioned it in the Product Challengers Quadrant both in the Data Science and Data Infrastructure & Cloud Integration services.

“Rising Stars” recognition is given to distinguished companies with high future potential and a promising portfolio, including the required roadmap and an adequate focus on key market trends and customer requirements. This award highlights excellent management and understanding of the local market and indicates that a company is on a good way to reach the leader quadrant within the next 12 to 24 months, due to its above-average impact and innovative strength.

ISG analysts highlighted the most valuable N-iX strengths:

Outstanding technology stack supports the data engineering services: N-iX can deliver cloud-based data solutions using open source technologies that are under the Apache 2.0 license and are free to its customers. N-iX is also providing data services for technologies chosen by customers, such as the Microsoft stack, Oracle, Teradata and SAP.
Strong strategic partnerships: N-iX has developed partnerships with Lebara, Gogo, Fluke, Currencycloud, RateSetter, Orbus Software, OpenText, PrettyLittleThing and more than 100 other medium and large‐scale businesses within telecom, retail, fintech, media and other sectors.
Solid growth path and ambitious future plans: N-iX’s solution-based approach is driving its trajectory. In 2019 the company started cooperation with new large clients. Its typical engagement has changed as the company started several new solution-based projects where specialists designed and built a complex data solution from scratch. One example is an IoT data processing platform. N-iX also delivers data engineering services to its existing clients on an R&D extension basis. Separate Data and Analytics and Solution Group units were established to standardize processes and further expand expertise. Explore N-iX case studies.

We are thrilled to be recognized in ISG Provider Lens™ Analytics – Solutions and Service Partners study. For a long time, the UK has been our strategic market, and we are excited to be named a Rising Star in Data Engineering services in this region challenging the world’s largest IT companies and Big Four firms. We continuously develop our capabilities and expand the portfolio of data solutions for our clients. In 2020, our Data & Analytics unit doubled in size. We particularly value a growing number of cloud-based data solutions (GCP, AWS, Azure), as well as Computer Vision and predictive maintenance ML solutions in our portfolio. Recently, we have seen a growing demand for migration of legacy on-premise data solutions to cloud-based data infrastructure as many companies struggle to make use of increasing amounts of data employing their existing infrastructure. For example, for our long-term partner Lebara, we’ve been working on the replacement of the existing solution with a data lake to enable almost real-time data streaming and timely reports for multiple departments. For another large telecom client, we build an IoT data processing platform from scratch. We are also working on a Computer Vision solution to improve the internal logistics for a Global Fortune 100 manufacturing company from Germany,
