Our Services

Cognizant’s Java services span architecture definition, lifecycle application development, business process integration and portfolio reengineering. Collaborating with our R&D team, the Java CoE offers a rich collection of solution accelerators, including:

  • SDE—A free tool that fosters fast, easy Java/J2EE development using Eclipse 3.5 and additional plug-ins.
  • Indigo—Accelerates and overcomes the pain points of Java/JEE application development and provides better guidance, practices and tooling to improve software quality.
  • SHRIMP—A reference implementation for web applications that reduces time-to-learn and allows easy, rapid development with J2EE-recommended best practices.
  • JCAP—Using our Java Code Quality Assessment Platform, developers and managers can ensure project success, with metrics to assess, track, measure and improve code quality.

 

Cases in Point

Here are recent examples of the value that Cognizant’s Java CoE can bring to businesses:

  • For the prime brokerage business line of a leading investment bank, we created an automated and integrated system scalable to 500,000 trades a day. The new Java-based system significantly reduces the need for manual intervention by customer service representatives, and frees them for more strategic tasks.
  • One of the largest insurers in the U.S. needed to more effectively manage its growing roster of agents. Using Java, we created a consolidated web-based payment system to streamline agency compensation management.
    The results: Better service to agents and greater agent satisfaction.

Count on our experts to help you understand Java’s role in Web 2.0, mobile, social networking, cloud computing and other new technologies that are recasting the business/IT landscape.
