2 Introduction and scope Everest Group recently released its report titled Supply Chain Management (SCM) BPO Service Provider Landscape with PEAK Matrix TM Assessment This report analyzes the changing dynamics of the SCM BPO landscape and assesses service providers across several key dimensions. As a part of this report, Everest Group updated its classification of more than 10 service providers on the Everest Group Performance Experience Ability Knowledge (PEAK) Matrix for SCM BPO into Leaders, Major Contenders, and Emerging Players. The PEAK Matrix is a framework that provides an objective, datadriven, and comparative assessment of SCM 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 SCM BPO experience and capabilities. It includes: TCS position on the SCM BPO PEAK Matrix Detailed SCM 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. 2

6 TCS (page 2 of 3) SCM BPO capabilities and client portfolio Comparison of TCS SCM service aspects to industry practices Process scope Technology leveraged TCS, like other providers, is primarily focused on providing services in the deliver subprocess However, it is at variance to the industry as it has relatively smaller scale in after-market Similar to some of the other mature providers, TCS offers analytics-based monitoring and control solutions to its clients Like most other providers, TCS leverages a number of generic proprietary and third-party solutions to deliver its services It has recently developed an automation solution built around TRAPEZE solution accelerator. This is likely to position it among the top technology solutions providers in this space Pricing model FTE-based pricing is the predominant mechanism leveraged by TCS in providing SCM BPO services However, with the increased adoption of technology and managed services framework, the industry is seen progressing from pure input-based pricing models to a hybrid model of input-, output-, and outcome-based pricing structures SCM BPO active deal split by signing region Middle East & Latin America Africa 1% 18% Asia Pacific 35% Continental Europe 20% 26% North America SCM BPO FTE split by buyer industry Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) Pharma & healthcare Manufacturing 5% 5% 6% Logistics Consumer 38% Packaged 12% Goods (CPG) & retail 27% Hi-tech & telecom 1 Everest Group estimates based on contractual and operational information till December 2013 Source: Everest Group (2014) SCM BPO FTE split by sourcing location 2013 Onshore 3% 97% Offshore (North America, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand) (India and Southeast Asia) 6

11 FAQs (page 1 of 2) Does the PEAK Matrix assessment incorporate any subjective criteria? The Everest Group s PEAK Matrix assessment adopts an objective and fact-based approach (leveraging service provider RFIs and the 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. 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 in itself a favorable recognition What other aspects of the PEAK Matrix assessment are relevant to buyers and providers besides the PEAK Matrix position? The PEAK Matrix position is only one aspect of the 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 to the 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 the 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 11

12 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 Matrix positioning in multiple ways including: Issue a press release declaring their positioning/rating Customized PEAK Matrix profile for circulation (with clients, prospects, etc.) Quotes from the Everest Group s analysts could be disseminated to the media Leverage the PEAK Matrix branding across communications ( 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 12
