Service providers are evaluated across pre-identified key performance parameters and
subsequently classified under Zinnov zones
Human Capital
Human Capital is critical in analysis of companys capability to deliver specific engineering needs. We considered overall headcount, distribution by experience level,
positioning (onsite/offshore), domain expertise across verticals.

Capabilities & Innovation


Capabilities of the organization is assessed to understand the overall ability of the vendor to deliver on the requirements of clients; it encompasses strengths and
advantages across People strength, operational capability, business models employed, and Innovation & expertise of the organization

Financials
Financial Strength of a company plays a key role in the assessment process; apart from showcasing the financial health of the organization, it also contributes in analyzing
the capability to scale, invest and overall potential of the vendor for business growth

Ecosystem Linkages
Strategic partnerships with upcoming digitally native start-ups, University connects to focus on developing digital talent and research activities tell a lot about the
organizations capability in harnessing the ecosystem in Internet of Things Service space. We have covered all aspects as listed with specific weights to each as appropriate

Infrastructure
Infrastructure investment demonstrates capability and commitment to growth. Also, geographic spread and expansions throws light on the ability to leverage geo specific
advantages. Companies that have invested in Infrastructure like Digital Labs and CoEs have strong capabilities in providing IoT Technology Services

Business Sustainability
Client relationships, engagement model maturity with the customers, the ability to articulate and create a USP and the Governance Risk and Compliance status are
indicators of sustainability. We used these parameters to assess the sustainability index of the partner, which will help customers differentiate long term players from others

The cumulative score of enterprises based on the parameters is used to classify the service providers in one of the Zinnov Zones belowNurture Zone

Disclaimer

In the context of Zinnov Zones for IoT Technology Services, we reached out to a limited set of service providers that could be potential leaders in
this space. Our set of inclusion criteria enables us to shortlist, effectively based on which service providers are invited to participate. While we
normally see significant interest in participation, sometimes a service provider may request to be excluded from the Zinnov Zones activity if the
timing of the research or circumstances within the service provider organization makes participation difficult. If a service provider declines to
participate at the beginning of a Zinnov Zones process, it is important to know the following policies:

Some non-participating service providers are still included in our evaluation


o
o

As we invite only leading service providers and emerging players to participate in the Zinnov Zones, if a service provider decides not to
participate, we have still included them in the final report if we think it is necessary
Our reasoning is that a Zinnov Zones without a leading service provider would project an partial picture of the market and make it less
pertinent for our clients

The Zinnov Zones report clearly differentiates service providers that did not undergo the same rigorous evaluation
as its peers
o
o

While our analysts have evaluated the service providers that declined to participate, the service providers place in the rating is denoted
by a differentiating symbol indicating non-participation in the research process
Their assessment is based on different inputs than those used for evaluating its peers

We have reached out to the non-participating vendors to schedule a detailed briefing


o
o

In an effort to ensure accuracy while circumventing the rigorous evaluation, we have tried to gain as much information from nonparticipating vendors on a briefing call as possible
If we could not arrange such briefings, we have conducted our research through secondary means
