Cognizant and Anthropic expand partnership to embed Claude in Cognizant's industry platforms, helping clients close the gap between AI promise and business outcomes

About this update from Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation

TEANECK, N.J., July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH) announced an expanded strategic partnership with Anthropic, becoming one of a small number of Global Premier Partners in the Claude Partner Network. The expanded relationship builds on the partnership announced in late 2025. The expanded partnership addresses the gap between model capability and companies' ability to drive business results. Closing that gap extends beyond model capability. It takes the domain context, engineering depth and delivery scale to embed AI into the systems enterprises already run on. That is the mandate Cognizant executes as an AI Builder. "AI capability is rising faster than enterprises can absorb it, and that gap is the defining problem of this moment," said Ravi Kumar S, CEO, Cognizant. "Our role is to be the bridge. We bring the industry context, the engineering scale and the trust frameworks that use Claude to deliver production outcomes inside the most demanding enterprise environments. This partnership with Anthropic is about doing that for clients who need AI they can rely on, not just experiment with." "Deepening our partnership with Cognizant will help more companies harness AI's growing capability and deploy it in real, practical ways for their businesses. From manufacturing to the life sciences, Cognizant is bringing Claude into the everyday work of some of the world's most demanding industries — the kinds of contexts where AI can demonstrate its greatest value for humanity," said Daniela Amodei, Co-Founder and President of Anthropic. Cognizant is already applying Claude in client work spanning multiple regulated industries, with measurable results. In manufacturing, Cognizant delivered a working AI-led customer experience portal for a global manufacturer within six months of kickoff. In life sciences, Cognizant built an agentic contract-intelligence system for a biopharmaceutical company that has helped cut contract review time by up to 40 percent while lifting extraction accuracy above 88 percent in that deployment. In insurance, Cognizant developed a risk-navigation tool that helped turn hours of manual research into about a minute for underwriters evaluating similar accounts, saving each underwriter roughly eight hours a week in that deployment. Additional work is underway across financial services, telecommunications and other industries. Cogn...
