Leading sourcing data and advisory firm to identify ways to achieve lower
costs, greater efficiency, more effective delivery of government services




HOUSTON, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- TPI, the largest sourcing data and advisory
firm in the world and a unit of Information Services Group, Inc. (ISG)
(Nasdaq: III, IIIIU, IIIIW), an industry-leading information-based services
company, today announced it has been selected to advise the State of Vermont
on using IT more efficiently and cost-effectively.

Under the contract, TPI will perform an independent assessment of the use of
desktop, infrastructure and networking technologies in all state agencies and
independent departments. Comparing internal costs and performance with data
from the public and private sectors, TPI will identify options based on
current best practices for reducing costs, improving service delivery and
enhancing data security and IT governance.

"IT is increasingly critical to performing the core missions of state
government, especially in economically challenging times," said David Tucker,
Interim Commissioner, Department of Information and Innovation, and State CIO.
"We chose TPI because of its track record of providing objective, fact-based
advice to help Public Sector clients better serve their citizens and
taxpayers."

The State of Vermont is the third large government entity to select TPI to
perform an IT assessment in the last month, following closely the State of
Washington and the City of Houston. Other TPI clients in the Public Sector
include the State of Indiana and the State of Georgia and the national
governments of Australia, Sweden and Singapore.

"As they confront budget crises, states and municipalities have a golden
opportunity to eliminate inefficiency in IT services," said Don Flores,
Partner and Director, State and Local Government Services. "Kudos to the State
of Vermont for taking a proactive approach to this challenge. We look forward
to helping it achieve solutions for the future that are affordable and
sustainable but still meet the State's high standards."
