Profile
Cognizant is a different kind of
offshore outsourcing company. We bring you the best of both
worlds: the savings and superior quality of offshore
development, and the immediacy and trust of a local company.
We have often been called “The Home Team” of offshore
outsourcing.
We deliver the full range of application outsourcing,
business process, and consulting & systems integration
services that you expect. And, because of our background
serving the Global 2000, we are expert at managing the highly
complex, long-term engagements that our clients require.
Unlike our rivals, we work, not from contract to contract,
but long-term partnerships with our customers.
We are a U.S.-based company that is listed on NASDAQ. We
offer the financial transparency and good corporate
governance practices that are expected. Governed by an
independent board of directors, we comply with SEC and state
regulations dictating retention of independent auditors. We
eliminate potential legal issues because we pay locally
prevailing salaries in every region where we operate, while
observing all local tax, social security, and immigration
laws. And we give back to the community, contributing to
charitable and worthy causes that make our environment
better. We are financially strong with $150m in cash, and
good profit margins. In October 2003 we topped Forbes list of
“hotshots” as the number 1 company.
We know that security is important to you. With well over
half of our business coming from financial services and
healthcare, we know how to manage privacy and data security
issues. We are audited and certified to BS 7799, the set of
international regulations governing physical and network
security, and are well-experienced in working with clients
that implement their own U.S. standards. We are routinely
audited for security by our own clients, and routinely
enforce their U.S.-level standards wherever the work is
performed.
Taking Offshore Outsourcing to the Next Level
We can help you gain the benefits of a world-class staff,
whose quality and process discipline have achieved ISO 9001
and SEI CMM Level 5 certifications. However, we go much
further than achieving the certifications that are expected
of offshore service providers.
We have proven methodologies that deliver the benefits of
high offshore staffing ratios in as little as 6 to 8 weeks.
Our approaches consistently deliver savings of 30 to 60%, and
that is only the start. Our Transforming While Performing
service lets your company reinvest some of the proceeds to
additional savings of 40% or more by consolidating and
optimizing your software portfolio, while transforming and
outsourcing selected business processes.
We can execute because of our unique, client-focused culture.
Unlike our competitors, we work with you over the long term.
And while most of our rivals depend on local contractors, we
invest heavily in recruiting key executives, and project
heads, and practice leaders who are located close to our
customers in North America and Europe. And we have strong
management and technology depth in India, where we have been
consistently ranked as the top business school recruiter.
We have the continuity and management depth to make sure that
your technology supports your business, not the other way
around. We back it up with the resources to deliver the cost,
speed, and world-class process advantages of high offshore
ratios.
Our ability to form tight partnerships with our customers has
helped us pioneer the 4th Generation Offshore Outsourcing
model, a new kind of outsourcing that keeps local managers
close, transforming our world-class offshore teams into
virtual extensions of your IT organization.
