Cognizant to Deploy Neuro AI Platform to Accelerate Enterprise AI Adoption in Collaboration with NVIDIA
Cognizant will offer solutions across key growth areas, including enterprise AI agents, tailored industry large language models and infrastructure with NVIDIA AI.
TEANECK, N.J. , March 25, 2025 /CNW/ -- Cognizant (NASDAQ: CTSH) announced advancements built on NVIDIA AI aimed at accelerating the cross-industry adoption of AI technology in five key areas: enterprise AI agents, industry-specific large language models (LLMs), digital twins for smart manufacturing, foundational infrastructure for AI, and the capabilities of Cognizant's Neuro ® AI platform to integrate NVIDIA AI technology and orchestrate across the enterprise technology stack.
Cognizant is working with global clients to help them scale AI value efficiently, leveraging extensive industry experience and a comprehensive AI ecosystem comprising infrastructure, data, models, and agent development powered by proprietary platforms and accelerators. NVIDIA AI plays a key role in Cognizant's AI offerings, with active client engagements underway across industries to enable growth and business transformation.
"We continue to see businesses navigating the transition from proofs of concept to larger-scale implementations of enterprise AI," said Annadurai Elango , president, Core Technologies and Insights, Cognizant. "Through our collaboration with NVIDIA, Cognizant will be building and deploying solutions that accelerate this process and scale AI value faster for clients through integration of foundational AI elements, platforms and solutions."
"From models to applications, enterprise AI transformation requires full-stack software and infrastructure with access to domain-specific data," said Jay Puri , executive vice president of Worldwide Field Operations, NVIDIA. "The Cognizant Neuro AI platform is built with NVIDIA AI to deliver specialized LLMs and applications to ready businesses for the era of AI with reasoning agents and digital twins."
At NVIDIA GTC 2025, Cognizant presented its intent to deliver offering updates across the following five areas:
Enterprise AI agentification powered by Cognizant ® Neuro AI Multi-Agent Accelerator: Running on NVIDIA NIM ™ microservices, this framework will enable clients to rapidly build and scale multi-agent AI systems for adaptive operations, real-time decision-making and personalized customer experiences. With these frameworks clients can create and orchestrate agents using a low-code framework or use pre-built agent networks for various enterprise functions and industry-specific processes such as sales, marketing, and supply chain management. The frameworks also allow clients to easily integrate third-party agent networks and most LLMs.
Building multi agents for scale: Cognizant works to enhance business operations through the use of multi-agent systems and integration with NVIDIA NIM, NVIDIA Blueprints, and NVIDIA Riva speech AI. The company will be developing a future-proof agent architecture that supports modular and adaptable agent design to meet evolving needs and the long-term viability and adaptability of AI solutions. This includes pre-built integrations with security guardrails and human oversight. This approach aims to enable enterprises to develop and deploy market-ready applications tailored to their specific needs using the pre-built agent catalog. Examples include industry agents such as insurance claims underwriting multi-agent systems, appeals and grievances multi-agent systems, automated supply chain multi-agent systems and contract management multi-agent systems.
Industry LLMs: Cognizant is developing industry-oriented LLMs powered by NVIDIA NeMo and NVIDIA NIM. These solutions are tailored to meet the unique needs of different industries and build on Cognizant's deep industry expertise to drive innovation and improve business outcomes. For example, Cognizant has developed a fine-tuned language model to transform healthcare administrative processes. This system will leverage Cognizant's domain expertise and NVIDIA technology to enhance medical code extraction and support higher accuracy, reduced errors, and better compliance with HIPAA and GDPR standards. It is designed to help clients cut costs, decrease latency, improve revenue cycle management and help ensure accurate risk adjustment. In internal Cognizant benchmarking, the model has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing effort by 30-75 percent, boosting coding accuracy by 30-40 percent, and accelerating time to market by 40-45 percent.
Industrial digital twins: Cognizant's smart manufacturing and digital twin offerings, accelerated by NVIDIA Omniverse ™, will aim to drive digital transformation by combining NVIDIA Omniverse's synthetic data generation, accelerated computing, and physical AI simulation technologies to address challenges in manufacturing operations and supply chain management. These capabilities will be designed to assist clients in enhancing plant layout and process simulations with real-time insights and predictive analytics, while also supporting improved operational efficiency and optimized plant capital expenditure. This offering enables integration of diverse data from applications, systems and sensors with synthetic data, allowing clients to simulate various scenarios and find solutions to issues in the plant. Additionally, by building the necessary digital infrastructure, including IT systems and skilled personnel, Cognizant's offerings can be used to create and manage digital twins for large-scale systems, such as factories, smart grids, warehouses, or entire cities, with precision and efficiency.
Infrastructure for AI: Implementing AI effectively requires robust AI infrastructure and data prepared for AI. Cognizant's infrastructure for AI, accelerated by NVIDIA, will provide clients access to NVIDIA AI technology via "GPU as a Service", along with secure and managed infrastructure. This helps ensure that AI models can be run in various environments, including the cloud, data centers or at the edge. Additionally, Cognizant intends to use NVIDIA RAPIDS ™ Accelerator for Apache Spark to help clients accelerate data pipelines for AI implementations, facilitating efficient and scalable operations. In one example implementation for a large healthcare client in the U.S., use of Cognizant's infrastructure for AI resulted in a 2.7x cost efficiency improvement and a 1.8x enhancement in the performance of their Spark workloads.
"As we enter the era of AI industrialization, enterprises are seeking to accelerate the value velocity of their AI investments—focusing on outsized economic impact, agentic-led workflow transformation, and industry-specific deployments," said Nitish Mittal , Partner, Everest Group. "Cognizant's deepening partnership with NVIDIA signals the right trajectory for forward-thinking enterprises aiming to unlock breakthrough value in the AI era."

Built Green Canada Declares June 4 National Green Building Day - Calling for Municipality and Industry Support
Join us in recognizing those building more sustainably, leading the way forward EDMONTON, AB, June 4, 2025 /CNW/ - In conjunction with National Environment Week, Built Green Canada encourages the building sector and municipalities to recognize the first Wednesday of June (June 4) National Green Building Day. The intention is to raise awareness and support for sustainable building practices—recognizing industry leaders already doing so and encouraging others who aren't as far along in their journey. Built Green Canada celebrates those building more sustainably and encourages others in the industry, including trades, consultants, contractors and the media that profile them, as well as municipalities, to recognize those building beyond code. For sustainable builders, and those supporting them, this is an opportunity to spotlight your efforts and how these benefit your homebuyers and the environment, while also setting a standard that helps progress industry. Your leadership deserves recognition. For those municipalities committed to encouraging more sustainable communities, this is an occasion to recognize your local leaders and strengthen your relationship with them. We encourage you to highlight builders in your region who voluntarily build beyond code. Ways You Can Recognize the Day: Brag about what you're doing in sustainable building through your website and socials using hashtag or just celebrate the environment and include: #NationalGreenBuildingDay and our handle, @BuiltGreenCanada. Consider using the attached graphic. Feature those in your community who are building beyond code requirements and certifying through a third party. Feature those in your office who are promoting sustainable building practices and / or sustainability practices your office employs. Email your colleagues and network about your work and / or those in your community building sustainably. Consider doing National Environment Week programming and / or socials' posts—perhaps attend an event! "We are spotlighting the incredible work industry is doing to create healthier, more sustainable built environments. A special shout out to the BUILT GREEN ® builders, who certify their builds through our holistic, third-party building programs: a made-in-Canada solution to building more responsibly. They are leaders who are voluntarily building beyond building code—focused on energy performance as well as water, waste, GHG emission reductions, indoor air quality, the improvement of home durability, and more," says Built Green's Chief Executive Officer, Jenifer Christenson. She continues, "Regardless of which programs you're working through, today is a day to recognize the cumulative impact industry is realizing through sustainable building practices." One of the most overlooked benefits of sustainable building is resiliency. As Canadians face the impact of natural disasters and the resulting devastation to homes and communities, industry is developing ways to safeguard their homes. There are measures builders and homeowners can take to prepare. Built Green encourages the integration of measures like impact and wind resistance, flooding measures, FireSmart practices and materials, emergency power supply and resiliency planning—all to future-proof builds. Built Green Canada is a non-profit organization that provides programs for single family, high density, renovations, restorations, communities, small commercial, and schools—each BUILT GREEN ® program opens another door for industry committed to sustainability and the verification that comes with third-party certification. The organization began in 2003, and has grown its representation to include Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario. Builders have completed over 53,884 BUILT GREEN ® certified single family, multi-family, and high density homes, alongside communities and small commercial builds (as at December 31, 2024).
