Everest Group Performance | Experience | Ability | Knowledge (PEAK) Matrix™ provides an objective, data-driven comparative assessment of third-party outsourcing service providers specific to a market segment (function, process, industry vertical). Buyers of global services rely on Everest Group PEAK Matrix to gain segment specific insights to identify and evaluate service providers based on in-depth assessment of delivery capabilities and success in the market place.

PEAK Matrix classifies service providers into Leaders, Major Contenders, and Emerging Players.

Service providers are positioned on the PEAK Matrix based on two key dimensions:

1. Market success, which is based upon a combination of Annual Contract Value (ACV) /Total Contract Value (TCV)/number of contracts, renewals and similar data specific to a market segment (function, process, industry vertical).
2. Delivery capability, which is measured by the ability to deliver services successfully along the four sub-dimensions of scale, scope, enabling capabilities, and delivery footprint as relevant to the specific market segment.

PEAK Matrix is available for multiple research areas across IT and BPO domains. The process areas/ industry verticals covered under PEAK Matrix include

• Finance and Accounting Outsourcing (FAO)
