    ® Everest Group PEAK Matrix® for Healthcare Provider Digital Services 2020 Focus on Cognizant July 2020 ® Copyright © 2020 Everest Global, Inc. This document has been licensed for exclusive use and distribution by Cognizant EGR-2020-45-E-3864 Background of the research Healthcare providers have historically been mired down by the legacy IT estate and regulations that have had the unfortunate consequence of incentivizing them to maintain the status quo. However, that is not an option anymore, particularly as healthcare providers scramble to meet the unprecedented needs of a world disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare providers are now being forced to jump on the digital bandwagon to meet the demands faced by the healthcare ecosystem to battle this outbreak. To support enterprises on their digital journeys, service providers are ramping up capabilities through healthcare-specific partnerships and acquisitions. This, in turn, is driving the need for research and market intelligence on demand and supply trends in healthcare provider digital services. Everest Group’s healthcare ITS research program addresses this market need by analyzing demand themes and service provider capabilities in healthcare provider digital services. In this report, we analyze the capabilities of 22 IT service providers specific to the healthcare provider sector globally. These service providers are mapped on the Everest Group PEAK Matrix®, which is a composite index of a range of distinct metrics related to a provider’s capability and market impact. We focus on: Provider digital services Digital services themes Assessment of the service providers Everest Group’s independent market size and growth for healthcare providers on several capability- and market remarks on service providers success-related dimensions Scope of this report ⚫ Geography: Global ⚫ Services: Digital services ⚫ Industry: Healthcare provider ® Copyright © 2020, Everest Global, Inc.

  • Virtusa Consulting Services Private Limited
    March 15, 2017 Virtusa Consulting Services Private Limited Instrument* Rated Amount Rating Action (in Rs. crore) Non Convertible Debentures 2000.0 [ICRA]A+ (stable); reaffirmed Total 2000.0 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rating Action ICRA has re-affirmed the [ICRA]A+ (pronounced ICRA A plus) rating assigned to the Rs. 2,000.0 crore1 Non-Convertible Debenture (NCD) Programme of Virtusa Consulting Services Private Limited (VCS)2. The outlook on the long-term rating is stable. Detailed rationale The rating re-affirmation factors in VCS’s strong parentage viz. Virtusa Corporation (Virtusa), an established Information Technology (IT) consultancy and IT enabled Services (ITeS) provider with annual revenues of US$ 600 million in FY2016. Virtusa enjoys healthy business position characterised by a steady client base with repeat business and consistent new client addition; its global execution capabilities and an experienced management team. Further, the acquisition of Polaris Consulting & Services Limited (Polaris) has strengthened the position of the consolidated entity in the Business, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) segment with growth in addressable markets and client base. The rating also factors in the comfortable leverage profile of Virtusa with negative net debt status as on March 31, 2016 on account of its healthy cash balances and liquid investments. The rating also factors in steady growth in VCS’s operating income mirroring the trend in Virtusa along with healthy operating margins that are supported by fixed transfer pricing mechanism with Virtusa. The rating also takes into consideration the low working capital intensity of its operations resulting in healthy cash flow generation and sizeable cash holdings of the company, which has enabled it to comfortably meet the interest servicing requirements of the NCDs thus far.
