What it does
Cognizant provides consulting, technology and outsourcing services to clients in North America, Europe and beyond, organised into four segments covering financial services, health sciences, products and resources, and communications, media and technology.

It is headquartered in Teaneck, United States.
Where it sits in the stack
Cognizant has no seat in Rubin or Halo, our indices for the AI hardware and enterprise-software build-out; it sits in our broader technology universe under information-technology services, where clients hire it to run and automate existing systems rather than to supply chips, models or infrastructure.

Why Closelook tracks it
