London, ENGLAND, 5 October 2022 – EXL [NASDAQ: EXLS], a leading data analytics and digital operations and solutions company, today announced its recognition as a Leader in the 2022 Information Services Group (ISG) Provider Lens™ Power and Utilities Services and Solutions report.

Published by ISG, a leading global technology research and advisory firm, the report reveals the U.K. energy sector to be three to five years ahead of North America in adopting new technologies and regulation and shines a spotlight on the digital partners supporting utilities providers to make that transition.

EXL has been recognised as a Leader across the Intelligent Business Process Management Services (iBPMS) and Customer Information Systems (CIS) categories. This acknowledgement from ISG cements EXL’s position as a U.K. market leader in deep data and analytics in utilities, following on from the company’s acquisition of Clairvoyant the global data, AI, and cloud services firm in December 2021.

ISG explicitly referenced EXL’s data-led, cloud-native digital solutions such as Exelia.AI™, EXL Paymentor^SM, EXL XTRAKTO.AI™, and MIA as key differentiators which account for EXL being recognised as a leader in not one but two service categories. These solutions, alongside EXL’s exceptional talent pool and expansive network of partners expertly positions the firm to help customers fully embrace digital technologies.

The ISG Provider Lens™ Power and Utilities Services and Solutions report compares the strengths and differentiators of digital partners across the U.K. utilities and energy sector in order to help utilities providers identify industry-leading digital partners. This purpose delivers on ISG’s belief that building successful, competitive, and future-proofed utilities services require a focus on strengthening digital foundations, transforming grid operations, continually improving cybersecurity and digitally enabling the workforce.

As the U.K. faces energy transition challenges, changing consumer preferences, net zero, sustainability and rising energy costs, it’s never been more crucial for power and utilities providers to utilise first-class data analytics capabilities to maximise efficiency and fully understand their customers’ needs.

Rahul Arora, Senior Vice President and Head of Emerging Business Unit U.K. & Europe at EXL said, “We are delighted to be recognised as a Leader in this year’s ISG Provider Lens™ for Power and Utilities – Services and Solutions report.
