I need info about Cognizant 2.0

May I suggest that you read last week’s report by Viju George of Edelweiss Securities on the Top 4 Indian IT services vendors: Cognizant, Infosys, TCS and Wipro. That report talks about Cognizant 2.0 and the investment the company has made in it.

The summary says, “Cognizant has invested nearly 700 person-years in the development and implementation of Cognizant 2.0 and has over 300 professionals managing this on a full-time basis.”

It adds, “A precursor to going global is how well the Big 3 have established proprietary models for global talent management, knowledge management, distributed delivery and dynamic work allocation with expertise taking precedence over location. Such a collaborative platform is typically web-enabled, say by using Web 2.0.
Cognizant developed such a platform Cognizant 2.0 to which incrementally all the new projects are migrating and on an increasing basis, the existing ones too… Moreover, Cognizant can also explore the possibility of opening this up to clients and alliance partners, creating an ecosystem of shared development and implementation of high-value and high-impact engagements.”

I personally foresee the IT industry getting into an aggregator or complementor model soon, thereby forming alliances like the Star Alliance in the airline industry. In a similar model in IT, I believe we will see alliances with companies in different areas of specialization -consulting, hosting, product, and so on.

We are already seeing it with Infosys and Wipro running alliance programs with Nihon Unisys, CTC, and others. Cognizant also has such alliances with T-Systems, Temenos, and others and this can be a powerful platform for co-learning, co-development, co-innovation and co-sharing value.

Sorry to be rude, but this is the way to make the background of Steve Hamm visible to average readers...

Read his recent article in BW on H1-B and how blatantly one-sided and racist comments it contains...

Why should anyone promote such a shallow biased journalist?
