Key responsibilities of HCL’s approach to SIAM function include ITSM process standardization and adoption across all vendors including common workflow policies and workflows, common performance indicators, common governance, division of responsibilities, and rules for process interfaces.

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.

Delivering on the promise of AI calls for far more collaboration between service providers, tech vendors, and enterprise clients.” —Reetika Fleming, Research Vice President “The biggest differentiator in enterprise AI services, as described by most of the customer leaders, is the quality of people—not just the quantity available for a specific skill. Domain understanding and data engineering capabilities are top priorities. A culture of innovation, experimentation, collaboration, and cocreation with customers is the key winning formula here.” —Tapati Bandopadhyay, Research Vice President 2 © 2019, HFS Research Ltd - Excerpt for KPMG What you’ll read Topic Page Introduction, methodology, and definitions 4 Executive summary 11 The HFS Top 10 Enterprise AI services provider results 16 Enterprise AI service provider profiles 19 About the authors 21 3 © 2019, HFS Research Ltd - Excerpt for KPMG Introduction, methodology, and definitions 4 © 2019, HFS Research Ltd - Excerpt for KPMG Introduction ● Artificial intelligence (AI) may be perceived as a buzzword, but it is undoubtedly also cementing itself as a key change agent in the way enterprises do business. Its capacity to derive deep insights from unstructured data, to learn and improve from its activity, and to optimize business operations means that despite still being a nascent technology, its value to organizations is clear.
