HCLTech’s performance in the study and HFS’ views of its strengths and development opportunities for HCP services capabilities

Slide titled HCLTech's performance in the study and HFS' views of its strengths and development opportunities for HCP services capabilities. On the left, a three-step Horizon ladder graphic highlights Horizon 3 Market Leader at the top, where HCLTech sits, above Horizon 2 Enterprise Innovator and Horizon 1 Disruptor. On the right, two lists. The Strengths list covers seven areas: value proposition, outcome-anchored provider transformation across the quadruple aim, supported by a variety of proprietary IP and partnerships; capabilities anchored on clinical capabilities to address the entire provider value chain, including patient intake, care delivery, post-discharge, revenue cycle management, EMR work on Epic and Cerner, and patient experience; go-to-market that combines partnerships, AI-enabled capabilities, and advisory to address US health systems and global markets through domain-led sales and outcome-based contracts; outcomes including reduced call center volume to lower costs through ambient AI and process automation, while Clinical Advisor decision support and multilingual virtual care accelerate clinician experience, health outcomes, and equity; innovation through quadruple-aim-anchored AI productization with OpenAI as a first GSI integration partner, Anthropic and Hippocratic AI in rollout, the Demo Factory, and six global AI labs, including smart hospital enablement; customer perception, credited with mission-critical execution, a co-innovation mindset, domain expertise, and strategic partnership; and partner perception, recognized for a diversified ecosystem of domain experts and tech leaders, strong delivery, domain and IP leadership, dedicated leadership investment, structured governance, and willingness to co-invest in solution development and market expansion. The Development opportunities list covers four areas: capabilities, where mapping the h-suite and AI Force to the named provider value chain would overcome capability-discovery friction and speed end-to-end clarity for buyers; outcomes, where quantifying evidence on health-equity and clinical-outcome impact is becoming table stakes; customer, where accelerating resource onboarding and talent management, improving cross-functional communications, and converting anonymized references into named, quantified case studies would drive public-domain attribution; and partner, where more robust governance to track investment returns and milestone completion, clear engagement metrics, and faster expansion into newer markets with key partners is the opportunity.
