SCHEDULE 13D
This Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) is being filed on behalf of TCS Capital Investments, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“TCS Offshore”), TCS Capital II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TCS Capital II”), TCS Capital GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TCS GP”) and Eric Semler (together with TCS Offshore, TCS Capital II and TCS GP, the “Reporting Persons”). This Schedule 13D relates to units (the “Units”) and common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Information Services Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

TCS GP acts as general partner to each of TCS Capital, TCS Capital II and TCS Offshore. Eric Semler, as manager of TCS GP, controls the investment decisions of TCS GP.
On January 31, 2008, the Warrants held by the Reporting Persons became exercisable and therefore the underlying Common Stock was deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
