BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascendion, a leader in AI-powered software engineering, has been recognized by ISG for redefining how enterprises deliver on the promise of AI — translating strategy into tangible business outcomes.

As organizations struggle to move beyond experimentation, Ascendion's Agentic AI platform, AAVA^™, collapses the distance between strategy and execution, turning intent into engineered outcomes. By embedding autonomous agents and automation into live delivery pipelines, the company helps close the gap between vision and impact. Real-world results include up to 60% effort savings in data analysis for Fortune 50 banks, 50% productivity gains in automated form processing, and 40% faster time-to-market in complex software programs, all delivered through a human-in-the-loop model that ensures quality and trust.

"Ascendion operationalizes GenAI through a platform-centric model that integrates agentic workflows, modular delivery, and embedded consulting. Its structured approach enables scalable transformation across engineering, strategy, and compliance-driven environments with measurable alignment to enterprise adoption patterns," said Gowtham Kumar Sampath, Assistant Director and Principal Analyst, ISG.

Unlike advisory only models that stop at the whiteboard, Ascendion's Agentic design blends automated lifecycle execution with strategic human guidance, ensuring people remain the architects of innovation. This human plus agent model is powered by AAVA^™, the company's platform that improves work along the software development lifecycle with orchestrated agents, and reinforced by METal, Ascendion's intelligent talent orchestration engine. Together, they modernize enterprise systems faster, scale operations smarter, and sustain full governance across the engineering fabric.

"Our recognition by ISG as a global leader reflects the strength of our vision, platforms, and people," said Karthik Krishnamurthy, Chief Executive Officer, Ascendion. "We are leading enterprises beyond AI pilots to sustained business value. With our Engineering to the Power of AI platforms and models, we are changing how the industry delivers services and value. Our clients gain innovation velocity, economic advantage, and business impact needed to lead in the agentic era."

Ascendion continues to perform strongly across ISG assessments, demonstrating consistent momentum across its digital and AI-powered offerings. Last year, the company was recognized as a Rising Star in the 2024 ISG Provider Lens^® for Digital Engineering, and earlier this year, Ascendion earned Rising Star positions in two quadrants of the 2025 ISG Provider Lens^® for Digital Engineering Services.

Ascendion forges ahead to lead the new era of Engineering to the Power of AI. The company is delivering on its mission to unlock enterprise value by combining intelligent agents, modern engineering methods, and human ingenuity.
