Everest Group recently released its report titled “Retail Banking BPO – State of the Market with PEAK Matrix™
Assessment 2016: Analytics and Innovation at the Forefront in Challenging Times”. This report analyzes the
changing dynamics of the retail banking BPO landscape and assesses service providers across several key
dimensions.
As part of this report, Everest Group classified 19 service providers on the Everest Group Performance |
Experience | Ability | Knowledge (PEAK) Matrix for retail banking BPO into Leaders, Major Contenders, and
Aspirants. The PEAK Matrix is a framework that provides an objective, data-driven, and comparative
assessment of retail banking BPO service providers based on their absolute market success and delivery
capability.
Based on the analysis, TCS emerged as a Leader. This document focuses on TCS’s retail banking BPO
experience and capabilities. It includes:

Detailed retail banking BPO profile of TCS
Buyers can use the PEAK Matrix to identify and evaluate different service providers. It helps them understand
the service providers’ relative strengths and gaps. However, it is also important to note that while the PEAK
Matrix is a useful starting point, the results from the assessment may not be directly prescriptive for each
buyer. Buyers will have to consider their unique situation & requirements, and match them against service
provider capability for an ideal fit.

TCS earns a high and fast-growing revenue from its healthy
client base
It has a balanced mix of revenue across mature and emerging
geographies and a range of buyer sizes, which mitigates
concentration risk

Does the PEAK Matrix assessment incorporate any subjective criteria?
The Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix assessment adopts an objective and fact-based approach (leveraging service
provider RFIs and the Everest Group’s proprietary databases containing providers’ deals and operational capability
information). In addition, these results are validated / fine-tuned based on our market experience, buyer interaction,
and provider briefings
Is being a “Major Contender” or “Aspirant” on the PEAK Matrix an unfavorable outcome?
No. PEAK Matrix highlights and positions only the best-in-class service providers in a particular functional/vertical.
There are a number of providers from the broader universe that are assessed and do not make it to the PEAK
Matrix at all. Therefore, being represented on the PEAK Matrix is in itself a favorable recognition
What other aspects of the PEAK Matrix assessment are relevant to buyers and providers besides the “PEAK
Matrix position”?
The PEAK Matrix position is only one aspect of the Everest Group’s overall assessment. In addition to assigning a
“Leader”, “Major Contender” or “Aspirant” title, Everest Group highlights the distinctive capabilities and unique
attributes of all the PEAK Matrix providers assessed in its report. The detailed metric level assessment and
associated commentary is helpful to the buyers in selecting particular providers for their specific requirements. It
also helps providers showcase their strengths in specific areas
What are the incentives for buyers and providers to participate / provide input to the PEAK Matrix research?
Participation incentives for buyers include a summary of key findings from the PEAK Matrix assessment
Participation incentives for providers include adequate representation and recognition of their capabilities/success in
the market place, and a copy of their own “profile” that is published by Everest Group as part of the “compendium of
PEAK Matrix providers” profiles
FAQs (page 1 of 2)
16Copyright © 2017, Everest Global, Inc.
EGR-2017-11-E-2067
What is the process for a service provider to leverage their PEAK Matrix positioning status ?
Providers can use their PEAK Matrix positioning in multiple ways including:
– Issue a press release declaring their positioning/rating
– Customized PEAK Matrix profile for circulation (with clients, prospects, etc.)
– Quotes from the Everest Group’s analysts could be disseminated to the media
– Leverage the PEAK Matrix branding across communications (e-mail signatures, marketing brochures, credential
packs, client presentations, etc.)
The provider must obtain the requisite licensing and distribution rights for the above activities through an
agreement with the designated PoC at Everest Group
