Background and scope of the research
Background of the research
Rise of digital consumers, need for business agility, growing costs of regulatory compliance, and threat from non-banking
competitors in areas such as payments were the key challenges faced by banks in 2014. Banks are aligning their technology
priorities around cost containment, efficiency, risk & compliance management, and transformation. Banks continued to invest
in development of specific applications for regulatory compliance, risk management, channel-specific initiatives (social, mobile,
etc.), and customer analytics
The service provider landscape is intensifying as providers ramp up their capabilities, invest in innovative technologies, form
alliances, and acquire strategic targets to address the growing and complex application services needs of banks and financial
institutions
In this research, we analyze the capabilities of 30 leading AO service providers, specific to the global banking sector. These
providers were mapped on the Everest Group Performance | Experience | Ability | Knowledge (PEAK) Matrix, which is a
composite index of a range of distinct metrics related to each provider’s capability and market success. Additionally, Everest
Group has also profiled the capabilities of these 30 service providers in detail including a comprehensive picture of their
service suite, scale of operations, domain investments, delivery locations, and buyer satisfaction specific to banking AO
services
This document focuses on HCL Technologies’ banking AO experience and includes:

Everest Group’s BFSI research is based on two key sources of
proprietary information
Everest Group’s proprietary database of 500+ large, active, multi-year AO

and pricing structure
– Activity broken down separately for banking, capital markets, insurance, and by
line of business (for example, credit cards, lending, retail banking, and
commercial banking)
– Scope includes coverage of buyer geography as well as functional activities
– Global sourcing including delivery locations and level of offshoring
Everest Group’s proprietary database of operational capability of 20+ BFSI AO
service providers (updated annually through primary data collection via service

The database tracks the following capability elements for each service provider:
– Major BFSI AO clients and recent wins
– Overall revenue, total employees, and BFSI employees
– Recent BFSI-related developments
– BFSI AO delivery locations
– BFSI AO service suite
– Domain capabilities, proprietary solutions, and intellectual property investments

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
FAQs (page 1 of 2)
18Copyright © 2015, Everest Global, Inc.
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
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
