#### **SimplifyVMS - Global Leader and Star Performer in the Everest Group Vendor Management System (VMS) PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026**

SimplifyVMS is honored to be recognized by Everest Group as both a **Leader** and a **Star Performer** in its **2026 Vendor Management System (VMS) PEAK Matrix® Assessment**, under the global category. This dual recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to innovation, client-centric solutions, and the continuous advancement of vendor management technologies on a global scale.

The **PEAK Matrix®** is Everest Group’s proprietary, data-driven framework that assesses the relative market success and overall capability of service and technology providers. It serves as a trusted benchmark for enterprises seeking to evaluate providers based on their vision, functionality, technology, and market impact.

In the 2026 assessment, global **VMS providers** were evaluated and categorized into four segments: **Leaders, Major Contenders, Aspirants,** and **Star Performers**. SimplifyVMS was one of the selected few to be placed in the **highest tier—Leader**, while also earning the distinction of **Star Performer**, a title awarded to providers demonstrating the most significant year-over-year improvement in market impact and capabilities.

This recognition underscores SimplifyVMS’s ability to blend cutting-edge technology, intelligent automation, and seamless user experiences to simplify and elevate the vendor management process across industries and geographies.

We remain committed to delivering innovation, agility, and measurable value to our clients around the world.
