ISG to Publish Report on Supply Chain Service Providers
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining service providers that are helping enterprises make their supply chains more resilient and adaptable amid rapid changes in technology and global business. The supply chains of the future will need to adapt to constant change. To remain competitive, enterprises are seeking service providers that can make their supply chains more agile, efficient and resilient. Share The study results will be published in a series of comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ reports, called Supply Chain Services, scheduled to be released in September 2025. The reports will cover companies offering services including supply chain consulting, operations modernization and the implementation of transportation management and circular supply chain systems. Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the report to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm's buy-side clients. Companies face growing uncertainty from geopolitical and economic disruptions, including rising tariffs, even as they come under pressure to make supply chains more efficient and sustainable. Many are using specialized consulting services and new technologies, including AI, to remain competitive in this crucial, complex aspect of business operations. Enterprises want modular, scalable solutions suited to their digital maturity and industry-specific requirements. 'The supply chains of the future will need to adapt to constant change,' said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. 'To remain competitive, enterprises are seeking service providers that can make their supply chains more agile, efficient and resilient.' ISG has distributed surveys to more than 100 supply chain service providers. Working in collaboration with ISG's global advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants representing the supply chain services the typical enterprise is buying, based on ISG's experience working with its clients. The four quadrants are: Supply Chain Operations Modernization Services, evaluating providers of consulting, implementation and managed services to transform supply chain operations. Leading providers use AI, automation and analytics to optimize processes and deliver real-time insights, enhancing visibility and compliance. Supply Chain BPO Services, assessing providers of outsourced business processes including procurement, order fulfillment, transportation, customer service and logistics management. Providers must be able to integrate technologies such as AI, automation, chatbots, predictive analytics and natural-language processing. Circular Supply Chain Services, covering providers that help enterprises make their operations more sustainable through reuse, recycling and remanufacturing. Providers focus on building capabilities such as resource efficiency, waste reduction, traceability and reverse logistics. Supply Chain TMS Implementation Services, evaluating providers that help clients put transportation management systems in place to overcome operational, regulatory and cost challenges related to transportation. TMS requirements include addressing regional issues such as major tax changes, high logistics costs and limited carrier availability. Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global supply chain services market and examine products and services available globally and in Brazil. ISG analysts Tarun Vaid, Sidney Nobre, Mamtha R, Rafael Rigotti, Sumit Kumar and Vaishnavi G K will serve as authors of the report. A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as supply chain service providers can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study. All 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ evaluations feature expanded customer experience (CX) data that measures actual enterprise experience with specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG's continuous CX research. Enterprise customers wishing to share their experience about a specific provider or vendor are encouraged complete this online survey. Participants will receive a copy of this report in return for their feedback.

Review: Fried chicken is now big business in NI – but this chain is challenging the pecking order
Chain could rule the roost if it cut back on the sauces and ditched pickles on chicken burgers Chicken is big business in Northern Ireland of late. You only have to trip over yourself and the likelihood of falling down outside a poultry-themed eatery is high. Rather than falling fowl (yes, this review will have chicken puns) of queuing for Popeyes, myself and Mummy Toner waited until a wet Saturday before shelling out (I'm so sorry) on lunch.

Un-Chain melody: Focus, belief & practice behind shooter's good rhythm
CHENNAI: Indian shooting has come a long way in the last decade or so. Chain Singh is one of the rare shooters to have had a unique involvement during this evolution. In a rapidly-growing market that has constantly generated high-yielding stocks, Chain has been that stock that has weathered unfavourable circumstances over the years to stay relevant. The mild-mannered man from the Army is one of the experienced faces in the national shooting team brimming with hot stocks and potentials. And having captured his first individual World Cup medal recently, the 36-year-old from Chanser (Doda district of Jammu & Kashmir) is now aiming to go higher. In a tense final of the men's 50m rifle 3 positions event in the season-opener in Buenos Aires, Chain had done just about enough to edge junior counterpart Aishwary Pratap Singh for the final spot in the podium. That was also the country's first medal of the season. Chain and many other Indians were training their guns at the Tiro Federal Argentino de Buenos Aires range for the first time. "The conditions at the range (Buenos Aires) were quite tough. In India, we get somewhat similar kinds of challenges during June, July. It gets windy. So we have faced those kinds of challenges in the past as well. But if you look overall, it was quite tough," Chain recollected. His wide grasp of the sport helped him navigate the challenge then. The rifle shooter also credited foreign coach Thomas Farnik for India's visible growth in recent times. India ended with an impressive haul of 15 medals (6G, 6S, 3B) in the first two World Cups in Argentina and Peru recently. "Experience matters a lot. The standards of coaches have also gone up in India. Thomas Farnik is an advanced-level coach and has plenty of experience. I could implement a bit of his experience in my game. The level of performance of the shooting team is next level at the moment. There are a lot of things we have learnt in the last four, five years. It has been beneficial and we'll continue to reap benefits in the months to come," he noted. Chain himself was reaping the rewards of his hard work and persistence at the elite level after a fairly long gap. "I believe in myself. Given that I have been shooting for a long time, I believe in my technique. If I also put my mind outside technique, then you're bound to get distracted. I continue to focus on my process. Gradually, once you follow that mantra, you'll have a strong base. Then if you are able to execute, you would have practised for a long time... things will eventually be in your control. It's all about focus, belief and practice," the former Asian Games medallist said. The Olympics is considered to be the Holy Grail by most athletes at the amateur level. Indian shooting might be in a position of strength at this hour after three medals in the 2024 Paris Games but that was not the case not so long time ago. That is not to state that they were hopeless and not winning anything. Far from that. Indian shooters were gunning down medals at elite competitions but an Olympic medal had inevitably proven to be beyond their grasp. Chain would know it better as he had experienced that pain first hand during the 2016 Rio Olympics. With a fresh wave of optimism within the squad, Chain's ultimate target is to have another crack at the Olympics. But he's aware that he needs to tread with care in order to come close to attaining that feat. "The ultimate goal is the Olympics. I'll focus on the upcoming competitions and consider that as part of the training process. There are important competitions like the Asian Games and the World Championships that will be held next year. For those competitions, I would like to undergo good preparations. I have to remain focussed," he said. His immediate target will be the Munich World Cup in June. Chain is part of a 22-member Indian squad and he is expected to return to serious practice soon.
