Cognizant’s investments have differentiated both its technology and operational offerings to healthcare clients. Acquiring TriZetto (2014) enhanced Cognizant’s automation capabilities with its Healthcare Productivity Automation (HPA) tool, delivering a scalable RPA-as-a-service solution that minimizes risks and accelerates ROI. Cognizant’s acquisition of Bolder Healthcare (2018) furthered its support of large healthcare payers through its advanced RCM solutions. More recently, Cognizant launched Cognizant Neuro – an innovative modular platform that simplifies the process of integrating automation into clients’ businesses.
