Cognizant and Snowflake Forge a Stronger AI Partnership
Cognizant earned Snowflake’s 2026 CoCo Catalyst Partner of the Year award for impactful customer results. This recognition reflects the company’s growing role as a Preferred Launch Partner for the CoCo platform. The partnership directly targets the gap between AI experimentation and full production deployment.
Enterprises today face mounting pressure to operationalize AI beyond pilot stages. Legacy systems, fragmented data, and complex workflows continue to slow progress across industries. Cognizant’s AI Builder strategy attacks these obstacles by connecting advanced platforms with deep industry expertise.
The CoCo platform has expanded to over 2,250 users across Cognizant labs and client environments. Cognizant has operationalized more than 30 enterprise use cases and delivered over 260 hours of enablement. The platform has also supported more than 1.3 million AI-driven requests, proving real consumption at scale.
Cognizant Deploys AI Agents That Deliver Real Business Outcomes
Cognizant’s portfolio on CoCo now includes over 12 custom skills and 90 revenue-ready accelerators. These tools span analytics, contract intelligence, compliance automation, and financial workflows. They support anomaly detection and cross-industry decision-making at an enterprise level.
A+E Global Media stands as a strong example of CoCo delivering measurable results. Cognizant deployed a conversational analytics agent that automated Creative Airing Log workflows for the media company. The agent replaced a manual, multi-step process and helped business users ask natural language questions directly.
As a result, A+E Global Media reclaimed approximately 200 hours of manual effort across key teams. Commercial Operations and Legal & Business Affairs teams both benefited from faster, more accurate reporting. Additionally, the solution reduced labor costs and improved decision-making speed across critical workflows.
Cognizant’s AI Builder Strategy Drives Measurable Enterprise Value
Cognizant’s AI Builder approach is producing strong results across multiple industries and business functions. A global biopharma leader achieved up to 70% effort reduction through CoCo-powered agents. Meanwhile, a sports and entertainment company saved approximately $85,000 annually and reclaimed 1,300 hours of work.
A North American telecom provider cut change impact analysis time by 99% using Cognizant’s CoCo solution. These outcomes confirm that Cognizant’s enterprise AI strategy goes beyond promises and delivers hard numbers. The company continues to build on this foundation with deeper industry-specific skills and agent templates.
Naveen Sharma, Senior Vice President and Practice Head of AI & Analytics at Cognizant, stated that build cycles collapse when the data foundation is AI-ready and business context is built in. He added that CoCo enables production-grade AI deployment in hours, not weeks. This approach positions Cognizant as a leader in translating AI innovation into tangible enterprise value.
