The PEAK Matrix is a framework developed by Everest Group to evaluate and categorize service providers based on their capabilities, market success, and delivery excellence. It is widely recognized as a trusted and objective benchmark for assessing service providers’ performance in various industries.
The PEAK Matrix for Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) evaluates 27 solution providers based on two key dimensions: Market Impact (measured by market adoption, portfolio mix, and value delivered) and Vision & Capability (measured by strategy, innovation, and investment in IPA-specific talent, solutions, and platforms). Based on their scores on these dimensions, the providers are categorized into Leaders, Major Contenders, Aspirants, and Star Performers.
