This partnership has been instrumental in shaping our technology landscape, and we look forward to achieving new milestones together."
Knut Inge Buset, Country Manager of Cognizant Norway, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing Cognizant's commitment to supporting Cermaq in adapting to emerging technologies and driving competitive advantage. “We are thrilled to be continuing our collaboration after ten-years of providing reliable and strategic counsel to Cermaq as they modernize their technology and infrastructure. Cognizant’s presence is the catalyst in helping both Cermaq’s individual entities and the global organization achieve their goals and mobilizing them towards adopting newer technologies as they emerge to keep pace with the market.
