Cognizant has formed a strategic partnership with Palantir Technologies to accelerate AI-led modernization across healthcare and broader enterprise operations. Under the agreement, Cognizant will use Palantir Foundry and the Palantir Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) to advance AI integration within its TriZetto healthcare business, while jointly pursuing enterprise AI transformation initiatives across industries.
The collaboration supports Cognizant’s strategy of building enterprise-grade AI solutions that translate advanced technology into operational results, particularly in complex and regulated environments. Surya Gummadi, President, Americas, Cognizant, stated, “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.”
The companies will focus initially on applying AIP to optimize high-value workflows across TriZetto platforms and business process services, emphasizing security, governance, and compliance. Cognizant expects the initiative to speed product development, improve healthcare operations, and create a repeatable model for deploying AI responsibly at scale. Palantir brings experience in deploying AI systems in mission-critical settings, while Cognizant contributes industry knowledge and global engineering capacity.
Eric Lakin, U.S. Commercial Lead at Palantir, said, “Enterprise AI doesn’t fail because models are weak. It fails when AI lacks a shared, governed understanding of how the business actually operates.” Beyond healthcare, the partners plan to expand collaboration across additional sectors, reinforcing both companies’ efforts to embed AI into core enterprise workflows with strong controls and auditability.
