Cognizant announced it has been selected by Novartis for a five-year, AI-enabled integrated IT operations engagement, expanding a strategic relationship that spans more than 20 years. Under the agreement, Cognizant will help consolidate applications, infrastructure, security, digital workplace and platform services into a unified, end-to-end operating model powered by AI, automation and agentic capabilities.
Cognizant will bring its engineering-led AI Builder approach, including the Cognizant Neuro® AI platform, to support predictive and proactive operations, autonomous self-service, AI-led software engineering and full-stack observability across Novartis’ global technology environment. By replacing fragmented service delivery with an integrated, AI-powered operating model, the engagement is designed to improve efficiency, reduce complexity, improve user experiences, and better align technology performance. The transformation will create a scalable, future-ready technology ecosystem that supports Novartis’ continued adoption of AI.
