About Cognizant Europe

Cognizant is a leading provider of information technology, consulting, and business process outsourcing services, dedicated to helping the world's leading companies build stronger businesses. Cognizant is a member of the NASDAQ-100, the S&P 500, the Forbes Global 2000, and the Fortune 500 and is ranked among the top performing and fastest growing companies in the world.

Cognizant delivers innovative solutions through consulting and IT services with an industry vertical focus. The firm's spectrum of consulting services (Business Strategy, Process and Operations Consulting, Technology Consulting and Business Analysis) is focused on driving transformation, innovation, and optimization for clients. Cognizant drives and executes large business and IT transformation programs, and management consulting engagements. The company also helps clients position better compared to their competitors by conceptualizing and building innovative solutions. With a leadership team comprised of veterans of top tier consulting firms and the industry, Cognizant claims to be building "a global talent base to provide 'Tier 1' consulting services with a deep domain expertise." 

The firm believes it offers a unique benefit to clients with its advanced on-site/offshore outsourcing model. Off-shoring, originally a means of taking care of low-impact business processes with inexpensive labor, was essentially a low-cost augmentation of staff. The practice has grown and developed, however, moving into systems of greater complexity and important production-based processes. Indeed, so far removed is what Cognizant offers from the initial portrayal of outsourcing as "cheap labor," the firm has been known to refer to its global delivery model as the "fourth generation" of outsourcing. While it retains the economic advantage and "follow the sun" capability (24/7 attention by passing work across time zones) of off-shoring, Cognizant has the additional ability to offer on-site teams with the sort of industry experience and advanced technology expertise that wouldn't have been found outside of Western markets in the early days of outsourcing. This makes it possible for projects of nearly any complexity or scale to be outsourced or completed on a global scale.
