Modern businesses use cloud to fuel performance and drive opportunities.
The power of cloud is realized when the right migration and integration aligns with precise requirements. This is why Cognizant never uses a one-size-fits-all approach, but relies on industry knowledge, technical experience and a proven partner ecosystem to build the right solutions for clients. Because we know requirements differ dramatically across IT environments, we build the right cloud to support employees and processes, enhance products and drive transformative change.
Cloud speeds access to health data that helps researchers find cures.

By focusing on what is important to our clients, we enhance the lives of customers, consumers and citizens around the world. Each day across our organization, we challenge ourselves to find new ways to improve everyday life—within Cognizant, for our clients and for the communities they shape.
Since serving our clients is our top priority, we are always seeking ways to improve. This year, we’ve continued to invest in Cognizant Academy to train more of our talent in the digital technologies that are increasingly essential. We plan to hire or reskill approximately 25,000 people in 2020. By developing our associates in areas such as IoT, AI and analytics, digital engineering and cloud, we’re preparing to power every client engagement with the digital nuts and bolts of modern businesses. Cognizant associates volunteered more than 600,000 hours of their time and talents in 2019, making an immediate difference in neighborhoods and nations around the globe. And since diversity is a potent source of innovation for any organization, we have a variety of affinity groups supporting women, LGBT+, veterans, people with disabilities, working parents and other historically underserved populations within our ranks.
Our purpose is activated through our clients’ organizations. Whether we’re helping leaders in the life sciences bring lifesaving therapies to market faster or streamlining the critical systems that make financial institutions—and the global economy—more resilient, we’re improving lives by modernizing the companies society depends on. We take pride in helping our clients stay relevant and responsive to their customers, working relentlessly to earn and keep their trust. With markets demanding more agility, and worldwide challenges forcing us all to rethink how we live, work and play, Cognizant will continue to be here for our clients, so they can be there for the people they serve.
