Explanatory Note
Introduction
This Amendment
No. 2 to Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D) amends and restates Amendment No. 1 to
Schedule 13D filed on January 8, 2008 (Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D) by Millenco LLC, Millennium Management LLC
and Israel A. Englander, relating to their beneficial ownership of the common stock,
par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock) of Information Services Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer).
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is being filed to (i) reflect the transfer of 3,060,766
warrants to purchase the Issuers Common Stock (Warrants) held by Millenco LLC to Integrated Core
Strategies (US) LLC, each of which is wholly-owned by the same entity. As a result of this
transfer, Integrated Core Strategies (US) LLC is now the beneficial owner of the above-described
shares of the Issuers Common Stock; and (ii) to report other changes as set forth in this filing.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
The name of the Issuer is Information Services Group, Inc. The address of the Issuers
principal executive offices is Four Stamford Plaza, 107 Elm Street, Stamford, Connecticut 06902.
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates to the Issuers Common Stock.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
(a)-(c), (f) This statement is being filed by by Integrated Core Strategies (US) LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (Integrated Core Strategies), and Millenco LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (Millenco).
Millenco is a broker-dealer and a member of the American Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ.
Millennium Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Millennium Management) is
the general partner of Integrated Holdings Group LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Integrated
Holding Group), which is the managing member and 100% shareholder of Integrated Core Strategies
and consequently may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over
securities owned by Integrated Core Strategies. Israel A. Englander (Mr. Englander) is the
managing member of Millennium Management. As a result, Mr. Englander may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of any shares deemed to be beneficially owned by Millennium Management. The
foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Millennium Management or Mr.
Englander as to beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Integrated Core Strategies. Integrated
Core Strategies, Millenco, Millennium Management and Mr. Englander will be collectively referred to
as the reporting persons (Reporting Persons) in this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D.
The business address for Integrated Core Strategies, Millenco, Millennium Management and Mr.
Englander is c/o Millennium Management LLC, 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10103. Mr.
Englander is a United States citizen.

SCHEDULE 13D/A
|
|
Page 7 of 11 |
(d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) On December 1, 2005, Millennium Management and Mr. Englander, together with Millennium
Partners, L.P. (Millennium Partners) and certain related persons and entities, entered into
settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Attorney General of the
State of New York (the NYAG) relating to allegations that Millennium Partners had engaged in a
pattern of deceptive market timing of mutual fund shares in years prior to 2004 and, in the case
of the settlement with the NYAG only, had failed to take adequate steps to prevent a trader from
engaging in mutual fund late trading in violation of firm policy. The parties neither admitted
nor denied the allegations or findings (except as to jurisdiction) but consented to the entry of
findings. The SEC proceedings are In the Matter of Millennium Partners, L.P., et al. Securities
Act Release No. 8639 (December 1, 2005), available at www.sec.gov. Contemporaneously, the NYAG
issued an Assurance of Discontinuance relating to the claims and findings of that office.
Neither the Reporting Persons nor any other party admitted or denied any of the allegations or
findings in these matters. The remedies included disgorgement by the entities of approximately $148
million of mutual fund trading profits, civil penalties aggregating approximately $32.15 million
(with approximately $30 million being paid by Mr. Englander), an administrative order to cease and
desist from violations of the antifraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), and prophylactic relief.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
As previously disclosed in the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D, the amount of funds used to
purchase the 3,060,766 Warrants held by Integrated Core Strategies was approximately $2,785,453,
calculated on an average cost basis (excluding brokerage commissions) by account. In some cases,
the consideration for the Common Stock and Warrants is based on estimates by the Reporting Persons
(e.g., when such Common Stock and Warrants were purchased as part of a unit, consisting of one
share of Common Stock and one Warrant (Unit), the Units constituent parts became separately
traded and when a Reporting Person sold such Common Stock and such retained Warrants needed to be
valued). Integrated Core Strategies effects purchases of securities primarily through margin
accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to Integrated Core
Strategies as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to
applicable margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the prime brokers credit policies. In such
instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the
repayment of debit balances in the accounts.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The Reporting Persons are engaged in the investment business. In pursuing this business, the
Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital structure and markets of companies, including the
Issuer, on a continuous basis, through analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable
industry and market observers and with representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of management). From time to time, one or more of the Reporting
Persons may hold discussions with third parties or with management of such companies in which the Reporting Persons may suggest or
take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management or capital
structure of such companies as a means of enhancing shareholder value. Such suggestions or
positions may relate to one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of
Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, such matters as disposing of or selling all or a portion of the company or
acquiring another company or business, changing operating or marketing strategies, adopting or not
adopting certain types of anti-takeover measures and restructuring the Issuers capitalization or
dividend policy.

SCHEDULE 13D/A
|
|
Page 8 of 11 |
The Reporting Persons employ the services of a number of portfolio managers, each of whom
independently employs a separate and distinct trading strategy. A portion of the securities of the
Issuer held by the Reporting Persons are held in accounts of the Reporting Persons managed by
portfolio managers who engage in event-, risk- or merger-arbitrage or fundamental strategies.
Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals
that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be described in Item 4 of Schedule
13D. Each of the Reporting Persons may, at any time, review or reconsider its position with respect
to the Issuer and formulate plans or proposals with respect to any of such matters, but has no
present intention of doing so.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) As of the date hereof, Integrated Core Strategies holds 3,060,766 Warrants to purchase the
Issuers Common Stock, which represents approximately 8.9% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock. The calculation of the foregoing percentage is on the basis of approximately 31,208,000
shares of the Issuers Common Stock outstanding as of August 2, 2008, as calculated by the
Reporting Persons using the information provided by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q, dated as of August
13, 2008.
Millennium Management, as the general partner of the managing member of Integrated Core
Strategies, may also be deemed to beneficially own the above-described shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by Integrated Core Strategies.
Mr. Englander, as the managing member of Millennium Management, may also be deemed to
beneficially own the above-described shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Integrated Core
Strategies.
Accordingly, as of the date of this filing, Mr. Englander and Millennium Management may be
deemed to be beneficial owners of 3,060,766 shares of Common Stock. The foregoing should not be
construed in and of itself as an admission by Millennium Management or Mr. Englander as to
beneficial ownership of the shares held by Integrated Core Strategies.
(b) Integrated Core Strategies may be deemed to hold shared power to vote and to dispose of
the 3,060,766 shares of Common Stock described in (a) above. Mr. Englander and Millennium
Management may be deemed to hold shared power to vote and to dispose of the 3,060,766 shares of
Common Stock described in (a) above. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an
admission by Mr. Englander or Millennium Management as to beneficial ownership of the shares held
by Integrated Core Strategies.
(c) Transactions in the Issuers Common Stock and Warrants by the Reporting Persons during the
past 60 days: No transactions in the Issuers Common Stock and Warrants by the Reporting Persons
were effected in the past 60 days.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the
power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common
Stock reported in this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D.
(e) As of October 31, 2008, Millenco has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five
percent of the class of securities.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Integrated Core Strategies maintains an open short position of 220,071 shares of Common Stock,
which position is not netted against the data provided herein as to the number of shares
beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
In connection with arrangements with Integrated Core Strategies prime brokers, such prime
brokers are permitted to lend securities in Integrated Core Strategies accounts to the extent
permitted by debit balances in such account. Integrated Core Strategies generally will not have
any knowledge of the specific loans made by such prime brokers. In addition, in the ordinary
course of business, Integrated Core Strategies (or its prime brokers), may borrow securities to
satisfy delivery obligations arising from short sales and may lend securities to third parties and
such loans generally may be recalled upon demand. However, it should be noted that shares lent by
Integrated Core Strategies or its prime brokers may not be able to be recalled in advance of an
applicable record date and thus, such loaned shares may not be able to be voted by Integrated Core
Strategies.
There are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the
Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the
securities of the Issuer.
