Cognizant and Snowflake expand AI collaboration

Cognizant and Snowflake are expanding their collaboration to help mutual customers translate AI into actionable business applications faster through the Snowflake CoCo platform. As the Preferred Launch Partner for CoCo, Cognizant is developing a suite of AI-powered intelligent agents that support data engineering, analytics, and business-critical decision-making processes. The goal is to help organizations move from AI pilots to large-scale production faster and with greater confidence.

Many organizations are under intense pressure to translate their AI investments into tangible business value. At the same time, legacy IT systems, fragmented data environments, and the complexity of integrating AI into existing business processes are holding back their progress. Cognizant’s AI Builder strategy is designed to address these challenges by combining advanced AI platforms, deep industry knowledge, and workflow-based design to transform AI investments into measurable business outcomes.

“When the data foundation is AI-ready and the business context is in place, development cycles are significantly faster. That’s exactly what Cognizant’s AI Builder strategy enables. Together with Snowflake CoCo, we can introduce production-ready AI solutions into business workflows in hours instead of weeks,”, says Naveen Sharma, Senior Vice President and Practice Head for AI & Analytics at Cognizant.

The expanded collaboration builds on the broad adoption of the CoCo platform within Cognizant’s AI & Analytics business, where AI development is combined with industry expertise and leading technology platforms to scale AI across the business. To date, CoCo is used by over 2,250 users in Cognizant development and customer environments.

“Companies are at a crucial stage in their AI journey, where success is about moving from experimentation to real and scalable business value. The collaboration with Cognizant combines the power of the CoCo platform with deep industry knowledge and business process expertise to help organizations turn data into decisions faster and create measurable business outcomes,”, says Amy Kodl, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Alliances & Channels at Snowflake.
