The certification recognizes Cognizant's ability to deploy and govern SAP Business AI across complex enterprise environments, placing it among the first global IT services providers to earn the distinction.

Cognizant has received the SAP Business AI Solutions Operations Certification for its demonstrated capabilities in delivering and governing SAP Business AI across complex enterprise environments. Cognizant is the second global IT services provider to earn this distinction, underscoring the company’s leadership in deploying secure, responsible and production ready AI solutions built on SAP, for clients across industries.

Enterprises are rapidly shifting from AI experimentation to operationalizing AI within core systems, increasing the need for trusted partners who can design, deploy and run AI solutions securely at scale. According to Cognizant’s New Work, New World 2026 report, 93% of jobs could be affected by AI sooner than expected, heightening the need for organizations to adopt well governed, enterprise grade AI within foundational enterprise platforms such as SAP.

“We are proud to be among the first to receive an SAP Business AI Solutions Operations certification” said Roshan Subudhi, SVP – Global Head Enterprise Platform, Cognizant. “This milestone reflects our deep commitment to helping clients adopt, operate and scale AI in a secure and well-governed manner across their SAP landscapes which include S/4HANA migrations, Agentic transformation and AI-driven clean core execution. It also demonstrates the strength of our global SAP delivery capabilities, governance frameworks and responsible AI investments.”

This certification builds on Cognizant’s long-term investments in responsible AI, SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and AI-driven extensions designed to deliver measurable productivity gains. Cognizant has already deployed AI-enabled SAP solutions across industries including manufacturing, financial services, consumer goods, life sciences and logistics, combining SAP’s innovation roadmap with Cognizant’s engineering and delivery methodologies.

“Cognizant has shown deep alignment with SAP’s vision for Business AI, and this certification reflects their commitment to delivering responsible, scalable AI across the SAP ecosystem,” said Hossam Saad, Partner Manager SAP.

Cognizant’s work with clients such as Mead Johnson showcases the company’s ability to modernize SAP environments and prepare organizations for AI-enabled operations. The SAP Business AI Solutions Operations Certification further strengthens this foundation by enabling more efficient and reliable AI adoption, enhanced governance and the development of advanced extensions and custom AI on SAP BTP.

"This was a strategic project for Mead Johnson Nutrition and a critical enabler of our future vision. A tight deadline and short cutover window meant nothing could be left to chance, said Chakravarthy Aravapalli, Regional CIO, EU and APJ, Mead Johnson Nutrition. “With exceptional planning and collaboration between Mead Johnson, Cognizant and SAP, we went live on time with no stop to manufacturing. Thanks to all who contributed to this highly successful project."

By meeting SAP’s rigorous criteria across security, responsible AI practices, scalable delivery and successful production deployments, Cognizant reinforced its position as a trusted partner for organizations operationalizing AI in mission critical systems and strengthened its long-standing collaboration with SAP.
