Introduction and scope
Everest Group recently released its report titled “A PEAK into the Leaders, Major Contenders, and Emerging
Players of Capital Markets BPO”. This report analyzes the changing dynamics of the Capital Markets BPO
landscape and assesses service providers across several key dimensions.
As a part of this report, Everest Group updated its classification of 14+ service providers on the Everest Group
Performance | Experience | Ability | Knowledge (PEAK) Matrix for Capital Markets BPO into Leaders, Major
Contenders, and Emerging Players. The PEAK Matrix is a framework that provides an objective, data-driven,
and comparative assessment of Capital Markets 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 Capital Markets BPO
experience and capabilities and includes:
TCS’s position on the Capital Markets BPO PEAK Matrix
Detailed Capital Markets 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 and requirements, and match them against service
provider capability for an ideal fit.

FAQs (page 1 of 2)
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
associated commentary is helpful for 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 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 2 of 2)
What is the process for a service provider to leverage their PEAK Matrix positioning status ?
– Providers can use their PEAK positioning rating in multiple ways including:
Issue a press release declaring their positioning/rating
Customized PEAK profile for circulation (with clients, prospects, etc.)
Quotes from Everest Group analysts could be disseminated to the media
Leverage PEAK 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
