Cognizant Deploys 25,000 Staff to Scale OpenAI Solutions for Enterprise Clients
Cognizant launches a dedicated global unit of over 25,000 professionals focused on deploying OpenAI technology across enterprise operations.
Cognizant has established a new internal division called the OpenAI Frontier Capability Group, mobilizing more than 25,000 professionals worldwide to accelerate the deployment of OpenAI-powered solutions for corporate clients. The move signals a significant organizational commitment to bringing advanced artificial intelligence out of pilot stages and into full production environments.
