1 Year of ICG Innovations

On Friday, February 13, 2026, ICG Innovations reached its first big milestone – one year with our new name! For the past year, we have been proud to call ourselves ICG Innovations, and we are excited to see where our new name takes us. Here’s to 1 year of ICG Innovations!

For 30 years, ICG was known as ICG Consulting, a name used due to our original focus on purely consulting. But over time, our clients started looking to us to build the projects that we suggested to them. We decided to take on that challenge. Consulting was no longer what we primarily did. ICG became a group of creators and innovators, and after years of this focus, we decided we wanted a name to match that.

ICG values being on the leading edge of technology, and we believe that change reflects that sentiment. We’re excited to continue to innovate alongside our clients in the years to come. But with that, we are also committed to being human. Innovation is a process that reflects humanity, and although AI plays a large role in innovation for the financial back office, it isn’t everything.

We believe in responsible and sustainable AI and creating solutions that truly fit your financial back office perfectly. We value strategic partnerships and growing with our clients, and recognize that no two organizations need the same types of solutions. At ICG, we embrace new opportunities to problem-solve and look forward to creating solutions that are unique to your organization. That’s truly what ICG Innovations is all about.

Thank you for a wonderful first year as ICG Innovations with us. We look forward to many more!
