Global Technology Office

Being Cognizant  means we invest in people and resources to help our clients succeed in a changing work environment.

Research and Development

Cognizant’s GTO Research & Development (R&D) team of engineers and architects is the starting point for our new technologies. We study leading-edge advancements and spot opportunities to leverage technologies for breakthrough business results. We then strategize how to best bring them to our clients—in some cases recommending that a Center of Excellence be established.

R&D specializes in applied research. Our initiatives identify technology that’s new and potentially strong for business. We look for links between emerging technologies (such as machine learning, green IT, sensor networks and pervasive cloud) and innovative business applications (such as predictive/social/motion analysis, intelligent data centers, and pervasive apps).
