METHODOLOGY
Supplier governance is critical to business success: mitigating the risks of poor outcomes, detrimental to the firm and its customers – including poor service levels which do not support day-to-day business, business change and growth. ServiceMatrix delivers dependable measures of what's going well and pinpoints where you need to drive improvement.
The latest ServiceMatrix analysis is based on 6000 ratings from more than 350 qualifying responses. While service providers and other vendors have been evaluated to date, a minimum of 10 comparative evaluations by institutions with multiple providers is required for a supplier to qualify for the results. A significant proportion of responses comes from financial institutions which, in using multiple service providers, 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. Each element is rated by reference to one or more of these measures: adequacy, competence, ease of use, scope, accuracy/timeliness and responsiveness. Scoring is on the following scale:
➀ Unacceptable
➁ Very poor –
always fails to meet expectations
➂ Poor –
often fails to meet expectations
➃ Satisfactory –

➄ Good –
often meets expectations
➅ Very good –
