Catalysing innovation at scale
Businesses are looking at industry-specific transformation that involves reimagining operations in sectors that have not seen significant disruption in decades. Companies are also looking to transform enterprise business operations, enhance employee experiences and accelerate crossindustry innovation.
Can advanced generative AI and Copilots have the potential to deliver substantial innovation for enterprise customers?
Leveraging Copilots
To take advantage of these opportunities, Cognizant and Microsoft announced a global partnership to expand adoption of generative AI in the enterprise, and drive industry transformation. As part of the partnership, Cognizant purchased 25,000 Microsoft 365 Copilot seats, 500 Sales Copilot seats and 500 Services Copilot seats. Cognizant will use Copilot Studio, a platform that allows users to create and customize their own industry-and-business-function specific Copilots, leveraging generative AI large language models, business applications and enterprise data. The company’s network of AI Innovation Studios across multiple cities are being equipped to showcase Microsoft generative AI technology.
Cognizant will aim to deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot to a million users within their global 2,000 clients and across 11 industries. Cognizant is already leveraging Microsoft Generative AI technology with its TriZetto platform, to help payers and providers reduce hidden costs and enable better patient outcomes for millions of Americans.
At the same time, through Cognizant’s Synapse skilling program, 35,000 Cognizant developers have been trained on GitHub Copilot, with an additional 40,000 developers slated to receive training.
