HCL Named a Leader in New Life Sciences IT Outsourcing Research Report

NOIDA, India, and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HCL Technologies, a leading global IT services company, today announced that it has been recognized as a life sciences IT outsourcing Leader and a "star performer" by the leading advisory and research firm Everest Group in its report for IT Outsourcing in Life Sciences Industry – Service Provider Landscape with PEAK Matrix™ Assessment 2015 report.

The award acknowledges HCL's continued growth and market success, exceptional delivery capabilities and its significant investment in proprietary life science solutions. The company consistently secured large, transformational IT outsourcing (ITO) deals by providing a complete range of services including clinical supply management, research and development, supply chain, sales and marketing, internal enterprise IT, lab information management systems (LIMS) and compliance management.

The Everest Group report analyzes the capabilities of twenty leading ITO service providers as they relate to the global life sciences sector. It maps each provider on its Performance, Experience, Ability and Knowledge (PEAK) Matrix™, a composite index of a range of distinct metrics related to providers' capabilities and market success across two key dimensions. The report measures market success by the number, scale and growth of large life sciences' ITO contracts, and ranks delivery capabilities by scale of operations, scope, enabling domain investments, and delivery footprint. The group then classifies providers into leaders, major contenders, and emerging players. In addition, the PEAK Matrix designates eligible service providers with star performer status, based on relative year-over-year progress within the matrix.

"Life sciences firms are betting big on the realignment of their strategic focus and the expansion of service lines to cure their ailing margins. Technology is playing a central role in this construct," said Abhishek Singh, practice director for Everest Group. "HCL continues to be a front-runner in this space backed by its domain expertise, delivery capabilities, and investments in value-chain focused offerings."
