US-based IT services company Cognizant, which has a significant workforce presence in India, on Monday announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Servian, a Sydney-based, privately held enterprise transformation consultancy specialising in data analytics, artificial intelligence, digital services, experience design and cloud.

Cognizant’s extensive digital expertise combined with Servian’s strengths as the premier technology partner in the region will open up the full power of digital transformation for our Australasian clients.”
