Background and scope of the research
Background of the research
Strained revenue growth, burgeoning costs due to litigations, and regulatory compliance continued to adversely
affect the profitability of capital markets firms in 2013. This forced them to rethink and reinvent their business models
as well as technological priorities. As a result, 2013 saw strong return of discretionary spend – led by investments in
development of specific applications and platform-based utilities for regulatory compliance, data management, risk
management, and digital initiatives (cloud, analytics, and mobility)
Consequently, the service provider competitive landscape is also intensifying, as service providers continue to ramp
up their capabilities, invest in innovative technologies, form alliances, and acquire strategic targets to address the
growing and complex technology needs of capital markets
Everest Group has assessed the capability of 23 AO service providers specific to the global capital markets sector
and has mapped them on Everest Group Performance | Experience | Ability | Knowledge (PEAK) Matrix, which is a
composite index of a range of distinct metrics related to a provider’s capability and market success. Additionally,
Everest Group has also profiled the capabilities of these 23 service providers in detail including a comprehensive
picture of their service suite, scale of operations, domain investments, delivery locations, and buyer satisfaction
specific to capital markets AO services
This document focuses on TCS’ capital markets AO experience and includes:

FAQs
Does the PEAK Matrix assessment incorporate any subjective criteria?
Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix assessment adopts an objective and fact-based approach (leveraging service
provider RFIs and 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 “Emerging Player” 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
services area. 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 itself a favorable recognition
What other aspects of PEAK Matrix assessment are relevant to buyers and providers besides the “PEAK
Matrix position”?
PEAK Matrix position is only one aspect of Everest Group’s overall assessment. In addition to assigning a “Leader”,
“Major Contender” or “Emerging Player” 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
