NEW YORK | MUMBAI, July 25, 2017: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, has been recognized as a ‘Leader’ for Life Sciences BPO Services by leading advisory and research firm, Everest Group, in its report, ‘Life Sciences BPO – Service Provider Landscape with PEAK Matrix^TM Assessment 2017.’ 

The report highlighted TCS’ strong business process capabilities across the board, including end-to-end service capabilities in all Business Process Services value chain segments for Life Sciences, with focus towards Pharmacovigilance and Drug Discovery processes. In addition, TCS is recognized for its highly qualified consultant base, providing it an edge over competitors in drug discovery and clinical and pharmacovigilance services, and a well-diversified client split across the globe.

Everest Group analyzed the capabilities of 13 service providers on the Everest Group PEAK Matrix in the global life sciences sector. The PEAK Matrix is a composite framework that provides an objective, data driven and comparative assessment of life sciences BPO service providers, which are then divided into three categories, Leaders, Major Contenders, and Aspirants, based on market success and delivery capability.

“Clinical Research Organizations’ limited capability to meet changing technology demands has created opportunities for Business Process Services players to expand their offerings, particularly in the drug discovery and clinical research arenas,” said Manu Aggarwal, Practice Director, Everest Group. “TCS’ strength in the medical domain, derived from its robust Pharmacovigilance and regulatory practice, has enabled it to expand its reach into the clinical side, and address changing enterprise buyer needs.”
