Information Services Group (ISG) honored LTM with Paragon Awards for its work optimizing enterprise technology landscapes and IT operations. These projects specifically addressed fragmented application estates and legacy IT silos.
Why it matters
Enterprises often struggle with opaque costs and siloed functions across massive application portfolios. Partnering with external expertise allows organizations to modernize operations, increase visibility into application ownership, and drive automation-led efficiency.
LTM, which employs over 87,000 people across 40 countries, was recognized for optimizing Carrier's 2,000+ application estate. The work focused on reducing functional silos and improving cost transparency.
The players
LTM
A global technology services provider with 87,000 employees that specializes in digital transformation and IT operations.
Carrier
A global enterprise managing a complex, fragmented estate of more than 2,000 applications.
PHINIA
An enterprise client that utilized IT operations transformation, automation, and FinOps to modernize its technical infrastructure.
Information Services Group (ISG)
A global technology research and advisory firm that conducts performance benchmarking and vendor partnership assessments.
The details
At Carrier, LTM addressed a fragmented technology environment by integrating data from ServiceNow, Apptio Cloudability, and internal procurement systems to establish an application cost and rationalization framework. For PHINIA, the transformation focused on IT operations, deploying LogicMonitor observability, FinOps practices, and a cross-trained command center to modernize systems and automate routine workflows.
Timeline
September 30, 2026: ISG Paragon Awards were officially announced.
Market Landscape
These awards follow the pattern established by the ISG Paragon Awards in recognizing successful enterprise-provider collaborations. The focus highlights a broader industry trend of prioritizing observability and FinOps to consolidate bloated technology stacks.
Operators should review their own application portfolios for similar fragmentation that obscures cost and ownership. Consider evaluating whether your current procurement and operational data integration is sufficient to support automated IT cost management.
The takeaway
Effective enterprise transformation requires integrating disparate data sources, such as procurement and cloud management systems, to create a single source of truth. Operators should audit their own IT visibility to identify siloed applications that are driving hidden costs.
