The Financial Express, India: Cognizant’s President of Digital Systems and Technology Says the Demand for Digital is Robust

“It has been a very robust quarter and good start to the year,” says Debashis Chatterjee about Cognizant’s Q1 2017 performance. “This quarter positions us to achieve our full year growth guidance of 8-10%.” Excerpts:

“The other thing which is gaining momentum is on the digital front. We need to help our clients to achieve digital at scale.

Our advantage is that we have a range of capabilities to drive digital across all aspect of all clients’ activities that are based on three pillars ― business, operations and technology.

We’re scaling up our digital skills under the guidance of Chief Digital Officers in each of our industry and regional business units.

The demand is very robust. We are looking at digital as an end-to-end business. Tremendous reskilling is happening within the organization. We are developing more than 10,000 engineers and architects, another 10,000 across niche areas of artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and cognitive computing.

Given the tens of thousands of employees already skilled in these areas, the target is that by the end of this year, we will have 100,000 of our associates who are technically proficient in specialized areas of digital.”
