Financial Chronicle: Cognizant’s Group Chief Executive for Technology and Operations Says the Three-Horizon Approach is Yielding Positive Results

“In the 15 years of our listing on the NASDAQ stock exchange, one thing that has remained absolutely consistent is our strategy of re-investment in the business to drive topline growth,” says R. Chandrasekaran. “All along, we have maintained stable operating margins and delivered industry-leading revenue growth.”

“In recent years,” he says, “we have focused our investment across three growth horizons. We implemented this three-horizon approach in response to a fundamental long-term shift, which we have identified in our clients’ business imperatives. We think of those imperatives in terms of a “dual mandate” to run better by driving greater performance, and run different by improving the positioning of their businesses for future success.”

He adds, “We continue to build out our capabilities in SMAC (social, mobile, analytics, and cloud) technologies. We continue to see strong evidence that SMAC is the next secular shift in computing and we are investing accordingly. We’ve had some great client wins across our SMAC practices. As enterprises around the world focus on digital transformation of their operations and SMAC becomes ever more prevalent in the industry, we are seeing that our early lead and thought leadership in this area gives us a distinctive competitive edge in the market.”
