Cognizant Deploys 25,000 Staff in New OpenAI Implementation Unit
Cognizant launches a dedicated global group to scale OpenAI solutions for enterprise clients, starting with its own sales and customer success operations.

By stress-testing the technology internally, Cognizant aims to give corporate customers a proven playbook for moving cutting-edge AI from pilot stages into full production environments.
