Cognizant Deploys 25,000 Specialists in New OpenAI Implementation Unit
Cognizant launches its OpenAI Frontier Capability Group, mobilizing over 25,000 professionals to help enterprise clients move AI from pilot to production.

The move signals a significant escalation in the professional services industry's race to capitalize on corporate demand for applied artificial intelligence.
The company plans to first scale OpenAI tools within its own sales and customer success operations, a strategy that allows Cognizant to develop and stress-test implementation approaches in a live commercial environment before presenting them to clients.
