In First-of-its-Kind Assessment, Everest Group Identifies Leaders of Service Delivery Automation in Business Process Services | Press Release

Accenture, Cognizant, IBM and Wipro lead the industry in SDA impact, capabilities and vision. 

Several big names in the Business Process Services (BPS) market have emerged as leaders in Service Delivery Automation (SDA), according to an assessment just published by Everest Group.

Influential enterprises are disrupting the status quo by demanding from their service providers not only cost reduction but also next-generation benefits focused on business outcomes and enhanced customer experiences. For service providers looking to pivot quickly from an arbitrage-first model to digital-first one, SDA is the one of the key levers, according to new research from Everest Group.

SDA comprises a spectrum of automation solutions for delivering services, such as Robotic Desktop Automation (RDA), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), autonomics, cognitive computing (machine learning, deep learning and neuro-linguistic programming) and advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI). Collectively, SDA is one of the most potent levers that BPS service providers can deploy to help buyers move beyond labor arbitrage to attain valuable benefits.

In a first-of-its-kind report, “Business Process Services Delivery Automation (BPSDA)—Service Provider Landscape with PEAK Matrix™ Assessment 2017,” Everest Group evaluates 18 leading broad-based BPS service providers relative to their SDA market impact and overall vision and capabilities. Employing its proprietary PEAK Matrix framework, Everest Group segments the providers into three categories of performance: Leaders (top quartile), Major Contenders (second and third quartile), and Aspirants (fourth quartile):

  • Leaders: Accenture, Cognizant, IBM and Wipro
  • Major Contenders: Capgemini, Conduent, EXL, Genpact, HCL, Hexaware, Infosys, NTT DATA, Sutherland Global Services, Syntel and WNS
  • Aspirants: HGS, Intelenet Global Services and Mphasis

“Given the importance of SDA as a key value lever in the digital-first BPS world, this report provides an in-depth analysis and comparison of leading BPS providers in terms of their progress and market impact in this space,” said Rajesh Ranjan, partner at Everest Group. “Buyer experience and satisfaction was one of the important dimensions considered in this multi-dimensional assessment. Notwithstanding better performance by Leaders, there is clear opportunity for the BPS industry to improve on buyer satisfaction to realize SDA potential. This is more pronounced in the Artificial Intelligence space.”

Other key findings:

  • Accenture and Conduent have the most number of clients with BPSDA deployments by far. They are followed by Capgemini, Cognizant, Genpact, IBM and Wipro.
  • Accenture and Conduent lead in most geographies. In APAC, in addition to Accenture, Genpact has found good traction.
  • Providers’ success differs across BPS segments. Competitive intensity is high in all other high-potential areas except contact center, which is heavily dominated by Conduent.
  • Accenture and Cognizant have the most number of FTEs dedicated to BPSDA. Genpact and Cognizant have the highest share of FTEs in BPSDA product development

Accenture, Genpact and TCS Named Leaders in Everest Group PEAK Matrix™ Report on Supply Chain Management Service Providers | Press Release

Supply Chain Management sourcing market attracts favorable interest from buyers and service providers alike

The dynamic Supply Chain Management (SCM) sourcing market is highly fragmented, highly competitive and growing, according to Everest Group. In examining the capabilities and market success of the 11 leaders in the SCM sourcing industry, Everest Group reports a growing interest in SCM as buyers seem more open to outsourcing while providers are willing to make investments to expand their suite of services.

“Increasing complexity in supply chain and global cost pressures are driving buyers to look for service providers who can deliver end-to-end SCM solutions that go beyond the traditional boundaries of procurement, logistics, and inventory management,” explains Megan Weis, vice president at Everest Group. “Service providers have also realized that with maturing market and increasing competition in Finance and Accounting Outsourcing and Procurement Outsourcing, SCM is a lucrative market to tap into.”

Announcing the SCM Services Market Leaders

In its newly released report, “Supply Chain Management (SCM) – Service Provider Landscape with PEAK Matrix™ Assessment 2017”, Everest Group explores the delivery capabilities and market success of 11 SCM service providers. Everest Group has identified the following Leaders, Major Contenders and Aspirants:

  • Leaders: Accenture, Genpact and TCS
  • Major Contenders: Capgemini, GEP, HCL, Infosys, OnProcess and WNS

Highlights:

  • TCS, Accenture, Genpact and Infosys control over 50 percent of the SCM market
  • Traditional BPO providers dominate the SCM landscape; they have leveraged their existing finance and accounting outsourcing (FAO) and procurement outsourcing (PO) relationships to cross-sell and up-sell SCM services to clients.
  • Some providers, such as OnProcess, have leveraged their niche set of offerings to show high growth in the market.
  • The provider landscape varies significantly across geographies with different providers focusing on specific regions; Accenture and OnProcess lead in the Americas, TCS and Capgemeni excel in EMEA, and TCS and WND dominate in APAC.
  • The provider landscape is highly fragmented in terms of leadership in different buyer industries; for example, Accenture and Genpact excel in manufacturing, OnProcess and TCS command nearly half the market in hi-tech and telecom, Genpact represents nearly a quarter of the market in retail and consumer product goods, and WNS and EXL lead in travel and logistics.
  • The SCM adoption by the SMB segment is growing and represents significant opportunities. A few providers (namely, EXL and TCS) have followed a targeted approach to build clientele in the mid-market segment while WNS is the only provider that has carved out a niche in the small-buyers segment.

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. 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. Everest Group recently announced a recalibrated methodology, in which innovation, intellectual property and technology take center stage.
