Cognizant (CTSH) published a workplace AI study finding that 80% of employees want to use AI more than their jobs permit. The research calls this mismatch the “Activation Gap”, separating employee willingness from workplace adoption. Across employee groups, 72% to 82% say their AI tools do not meet their needs; even the most satisfied group reported only 28% satisfaction.
The study found that disposition—how people relate to technology, risk and work—is roughly six times more predictive of AI behavior than organizational rank. Two groups account for 72% of workers: willing users facing organizational barriers and workers seeking a clear business case for adoption. Cognizant researchers estimate that a uniform 5% increase in global labor productivity could add roughly $6 trillion to world GDP, with context-specific tools and tailored training offering a potential path toward some of that value.
Cognizant (CTSH) announced a five-year extension of its work with Gilead Sciences to support selected technology programs. The agreement expands support for DevOps, which combines software development and operations, and the responsible application of agentic AI tools. It follows more than a decade of work supporting elements of Gilead's IT infrastructure, platforms, applications and advanced analytics.

Cognizant (CTSH) has been selected by SITA as the implementation and transformation partner for its groupwide, finance-led SKY program.
Cognizant will implement a cloud-based enterprise resource planning and management platform covering planning, performance, project management and procurement.

Cognizant (CTSH) launched Cognizant Activate, a new business unit designed to help emerging enterprises adopt AI and accelerate transformation. The unit targets businesses generating $1 billion to $5 billion in annual revenue, with an initial focus on financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and retail/consumer packaged goods.
Cognizant expects Activate to deliver pre-configured solution kits covering data and AI, cybersecurity, enterprise applications, cloud modernization and managed services. The operating model will use vertically integrated teams and a single engagement lead accountable from the first conversation through delivery.
Cognizant (CTSH) will announce its third-quarter 2026 results before market open on October 29, 2026, followed by a management conference call. The call begins at 8:30 a.m. Eastern to discuss quarterly operating performance and will be streamed live on the company's Investor Relations website.
Cognizant (CTSH) was named to Forbes’ World’s Best Employers 2026 list for the fifth consecutive year.
The ranking, produced with Statista, draws on an independent survey covering employee recommendations, feedback and peer evaluations from more than 300,000 employees across 50 countries. Cognizant also reported Great Place to Work certification in 30 countries and inclusion on TIME’s World’s Best Companies 2026 list.
ACI Worldwide (ACIW) and Cognizant (CTSH) tested BASE24-eps on AWS, processing more than 4.6 million simulated transactions without failure.
Under simulated point-of-sale load, the card-processing software sustained more than double its target transaction load for 30 minutes with no failed transactions. Cognizant designed and deployed the non-production environment in an AWS account operated by ACI. The test addressed deployment on managed AWS services and sustained load, not production readiness. Production deployment requires further testing, security work and payment-network certification.
Cognizant (CTSH) and Cognition reported production results from using autonomous AI engineer Devin to modernize Odyssey Logistics’ transportation management platform.
A seven-person Cognizant team used Devin to rebuild legacy Microsoft Access and VBA forms as cloud-native applications, generating tests, deployment pipelines and documentation, with each change reviewed by Cognizant technical leads. Delivery throughput increased by roughly one third, and Odyssey recorded a 37% net cost saving compared with a conventional rewrite within a fixed budget and tight timeline. The current phase is live and the broader program continues, supported by an expanded joint offering set for modernization, quality engineering and frontier AI cyber defense.
