Hyderabad: Cognizant on Wednesday announced that it has been named among a select group of partners chosen by OpenAI to scale the impact of Codex across enterprise clients worldwide. The company is embedding Codex directly into its engineering workflows across its software engineering group, with the goal of making it a standardised capability for how Cognizant builds and delivers software.
OpenAI is working with a group of leading global systems integrators chosen for their ability to deploy and scale Codex inside complex enterprise environments and deliver the services enabled by those capabilities to clients.
“The best engineering organisations of the next decade will not be defined by how many engineers they have, but by how effectively human judgment and AI capability work as one,” said Rajesh Varrier, President – Global Operations and Chairman & Managing Director, Cognizant India.
Varrier said, “We are embedding Codex as a partner in how our engineers work – handling code generation, refactoring, testing and documentation – so our teams can apply human judgment where it is needed most. OpenAI brings frontier intelligence. Cognizant brings enterprise scale, deep industry expertise and the governance rigor that industry requires”.
