METHODOLOGY

The latest ServiceMatrix analysis is based on close to 6000 ratings from more than 250 qualifying responses. While 25+ vendors have been evaluated to date, a minimum of 10 comparative evaluations by institutions with multiple providers is required for a vendor to qualify for the results. A significant proportion of responses comes from financial institutions which, in using a wide range of vendors, are best-placed to draw fine comparisons in the performance of their chosen partners.

Respondents to simple questionnaires score their counterparties on a range of underlying elements for one or more service categories of their choosing, across several broad service areas. Each element is rated by reference to one or more of these measures: accuracy/timeliness, responsiveness, competence, adequacy, ease-of-use and/or scope. Scoring is on the following scale:

OUTPERFORMER AWARDS

Vendors are granted a ServiceMatrix Outperformer award for each service category in which they score above the all-vendor average. These are noted alongside the gap analysis chart for each vendor.
