Life Sciences Digital IT Services – Service Provider Landscape with PEAK Matrix™ Assessment 2016

22 Sep 2016
by Abhishek Singh, Jimit Arora, Nitish Mittal

The Healthcare and Life Sciences (HLS) landscape has been subject to significant turbulence on account of a gamut of factors including escalating costs, widespread regulatory amendments, changing business models, and evolution of the patient-centric paradigm (with mobile computing, social media platforms, “anytime-anywhere” information access, and self-service channels). This combination of disruptive and legacy factors has driven HLS firms to adopt new technologies, while also revamping their existing systems, processes, and interfaces.

As the technology mandate for HLS enterprises evolves, so do their relationships with IT service providers. This, in turn, is driving the need for relevant research and market intelligence on demand and supply trends in HLS IT services across the three major market segments – payer, provider, and life sciences. Everest Group’s HLS IT research program addresses this market requirement by analyzing outsourcing trends and service provider capabilities specific to IT services in the healthcare and life sciences vertical.

These service providers are mapped on the Everest Group Performance | Experience | Ability | Knowledge (PEAK) Matrix, which is a composite index of a range of distinct metrics related to a provider’s capability and market success.
