Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has initiated a comprehensive research study examining providers that support enterprises in redesigning and advancing their data architectures using the Cloudera Data Platform as a scalable, AI-ready data foundation.
The study results will be published in a detailed ISG Provider Lens® report, titled “Cloudera Ecosystem Partners,” scheduled for release in June 2026. This report aims to cover companies offering data and AI modernization and operationalization services, providing enterprise buyers with insights to evaluate current vendor relationships, potential new engagements, and available offerings. ISG advisors will also leverage this information to recommend providers to their buy-side clients.
Organizations are currently focused on redefining data management practices by restructuring how data, analytics, and AI function across hybrid and multicloud environments. The emphasis is on developing scalable platforms capable of supporting advanced analytics and artificial intelligence initiatives.
The Cloudera Data Platform, a cloud-native solution, integrates fragmented data services into a unified environment, allowing analytics and AI to operate on secure, trusted data. Its ecosystem providers play a crucial role in helping companies evolve legacy architectures, migrate and optimize workloads, implement robust governance structures, and deploy AI in production settings.
Namratha Dharshan, Chief Business Leader at ISG, commented on the platform’s value, stating, “Cloudera’s cloud-native platform brings fragmented data services into an integrated environment, enabling analytics and AI to operate on secure, trusted data. Realizing its full value requires disciplined execution and strong partner expertise to translate technical capabilities into scalable, business-aligned operating models.”
ISG has distributed surveys to 50 Cloudera ecosystem providers as part of its research methodology. In collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will develop a quadrant focused on “Data and AI Modernization and Operationalization Services.” This quadrant will assess Cloudera ecosystem providers based on their ability to design architectures, deploy Cloudera environments, and optimize workloads for enterprises modernizing and operationalizing data and AI environments across distributed and cross-cloud infrastructure.
The study will encompass the global Cloudera ecosystem and analyze products and services available worldwide. ISG analysts Sonam Chawla and Maharshi Pandya are serving as authors for the report. Further details and a list of identified providers are available in a digital brochure. Companies not currently listed as Cloudera ecosystem providers can contact ISG to request inclusion in the study.
The ISG Provider Lens® Quadrant research series uniquely combines empirical, data-driven research and market analysis with the practical experience and observations of ISG’s global advisory team. ISG, founded in 2006, is a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm trusted by over 900 clients, including 75 of the world’s top 100 enterprises.
