Cognizant will adopt Gemini for Google Cloud to accelerate velocity for its software developers and enable more than 70,000 associates on Google Cloud's latest AI technologies.
Cognizant (NASDAQ: CTSH) and Google Cloud today announced an expansion of their partnership to enhance the software delivery lifecycle and accelerate developer productivity.
Cognizant will adopt Gemini for Google Cloud in two ways: first, by training Cognizant associates to use Gemini for software development assistance; and second, Cognizant is integrating Gemini's advanced capabilities within its internal operations and platforms. Using Gemini for Google Cloud, Cognizant's developers will be equipped to write, test, and deploy code faster and more effectively with the help of AI-powered tools, improving the reliability and cost efficiency of building and managing client applications.

Additionally, Cognizant will work to integrate Gemini into its suite of automated platforms and accelerators, beginning with the recently announced Cognizant Flowsource(tm)? platform for developers.
