Cognizant launches Activate for $1B-$5B enterprises with preconfigured AI, cloud and cybersecurity solution kits

What changed

Cognizant launched a new business unit called Cognizant Activate on October 5 for emerging enterprises with roughly $1 billion to $5 billion in annual revenue. Activate will provide preconfigured solution kits spanning data and AI, cybersecurity, enterprise applications, cloud modernization and managed services, with vertically integrated teams and a single engagement lead. Initial focus areas are financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and retail/CPG. This is an enterprise AI delivery model rather than a new foundation model.
