20 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 Aspirant 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 Aspirant 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 20

21 FAQs (page 2 of 2) 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 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 21
