This partnership advances Cognizant's strategy of creating purpose-built, enterprise-grade AI solutions that deliver measurable business value while modernizing internal operations and supporting clients in regulated sectors.
"This partnership reflects our commitment to using frontier technologies to deliver value for our clients, while also transforming our own businesses for the next era of AI-led growth," said Surya Gummadi, President, Americas, Cognizant. "By combining Palantir's AI platform capabilities with Cognizant's deep industry expertise and global engineering scale, we are strengthening our ability to modernize mission-critical platforms like TriZetto while creating new opportunities to build purpose-driven, enterprise-grade solutions that help clients transform how they operate and deliver the experiences and outcomes their customers expect."
Cognizant and Palantir will explore AIP's potential to optimize TriZetto's healthcare platforms and business process operations, targeting iterative improvements and repeatable AI models that maintain robust governance and compliance standards.
"Enterprise AI doesn't fail because models are weak. It fails when AI lacks a shared, governed understanding of how the business actually operates – something only the Ontology can provide," said Eric Lakin, US Commercial Lead at Palantir. "That's why we're excited to partner with Cognizant and bring AIP to TriZetto, embedding AI into core workflows to transform enterprises from the ground up."
Palantir's expertise in deploying AI in high-stakes environments complements Cognizant's global scale and domain knowledge, enabling expanded delivery of secure, impactful AI solutions. The collaboration highlights ontology-driven AI as a critical layer for translating innovation into operational reality, paired with Cognizant's ability to industrialize and scale those capabilities enterprise-wide.
This agreement builds on Cognizant's recent AI-focused partnerships and investments, reinforcing its composable ecosystem approach to drive internal transformation and client success in an AI-led era.
