Centrica selects Cognizant

Cognizant has been selected by Centrica, an international energy and services company, as a strategic partner to deliver end-to-end digital assurance as-a-service across Centrica’s technology landscape and enhance the efficiency, reliability and user experience of Centrica’s web and digital applications and smart devices.

As part of the three-year agreement, Cognizant will also standardize and automate processes, and drive service virtualization at Centrica. This initiative will enable Cognizant to help Centrica reduce the total cost of ownership, while creating a secure and scalable digital-ready technology backbone. This will enable Centrica to respond more effectively to changing business needs.
 
“This agreement enhances our ongoing partnership with Cognizant and enables us to deliver another strand in our IS transformational strategy,” said David Cooper, Interim Group CIO at Centrica. “The programme will standardize our processes across the Group, ensuring best practice digital assurance and control capabilities, while achieving significant cost savings, too.”
 
We are pleased to build on our existing partnership with Centrica and provide end-to-end digital assurance and control services,” said Rohit Gupta, Vice President and Head of Energy and Utilities, the UK and Ireland at Cognizant. “By using an innovative as-a-service model for digital assurance, Centrica will now be able to lower the cost of quality and invest the savings to accelerate their journey towards becoming a digital enterprise.”
 
This engagement expands Cognizant’s relationship with Centrica, which began in 2005 and spans a broad range of consulting, application, business process and digital transformation services.
