Everest Group—a consulting and research firm focused on strategic IT, business services and sourcing—today announced the winners of the 2020 PEAK Matrix® Service Provider of the Year awards for IT services. The awards, now in their fifth year, recognize IT service providers who have demonstrated consistent leadership in the PEAK Matrix reports issued by Everest Group in the previous year.

Accenture retains its position at the top of the leaderboard for the fourth straight year. TCS, Cognizant and Wipro also retained their positions from the 2019 list. Capgemini joins the top five in the No. 5 slot, edging out HCL Technologies.

“The Top 20 IT Service Providers list identifies the best of the best – IT service providers with strong broad-based capabilities and successful services strategies that align well with the evolving enterprise IT demand,” said Chirajeet Sengupta, partner at Everest Group. “Throughout the year, Everest Group evaluates service providers’ market success, their business strategies and how they are investing in the future. By taking all of that into account, these PEAK Matrix Service Provider of the Year awards recognize the IT providers that truly set themselves apart.”

About the PEAK Matrix™

The Everest Group PEAK Matrix® is a proprietary framework for assessing the relative market success and overall capability of service providers based on Performance, Experiences, Ability and Knowledge. Each service provider is comparatively assessed on two dimensions: market success and delivery capabilities. Market success is measured by revenue, number of clients and year-over-year growth. Delivery capability is measured by scale of operations, scope, technology and innovation, delivery footprint and buyer satisfaction. The resulting matrix categorizes service providers as Leaders, Major Contenders, and Aspirants. Companies that demonstrate strong upward movement in successive reports are recognized as Star Performers.
