The PeMa (Penetration and Maturity) Quadrant is AIM Research's 2x2 vendor evaluation framework. It measures each provider's market penetration (clients, deal sizes, geographic spread) and technology maturity (capabilities, platforms, partnerships), and places them as Leaders, Seasoned Vendors, Growth Vendors or Challengers.
Any enterprise technology vendor active in the relevant market category can request to participate. AIM Research issues an open RFI for each study and invites qualifying vendors via the Research Calendar.
Vendors are evaluated through a structured RFI process backed by primary research, including vendor briefings, customer references and product evaluations. They are scored across 40+ weighted criteria covering product capabilities, strategy and market impact, and the weighted scores are mapped to one of the four quadrant positions.
The date of the next edition has not been announced yet. Upcoming studies and their RFI windows are listed on the AIM Research Calendar.
The report highlights that states like Karnataka and Maharashtra offer incentives such as tax holidays, land cost subsidies, and infrastructure support to encourage GCCs to set up in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. These incentives aim to promote balanced regional growth and attract investments to less congested areas.
InDEA 2.0 provides a framework for digital transformation that facilitates the development of digital ecosystems. It offers principles and architectural patterns that help GCCs in India to develop IT architectures that transcend organizational boundaries, promoting integrated service delivery and enhancing digital innovation.
State governments play a crucial role by introducing tailored policies, strategic initiatives, and financial incentives to create ecosystems conducive to GCC growth. They focus on infrastructure development, skill enhancement programs, and ease-of-doing-business reforms to attract and support GCCs across various sectors.
