As every business becomes a technology business, market dynamics are evolving rapidly. Emerging technology, new competitive entrants and new customer demands are requiring organizations to achieve a pace of change that is often unattainable due to the complexity of their technology estates, fractured use of modern engineering processes, and legacy debt and costs.
“In the gen AI era, the pursuit of innovation is creating a hotbed of opportunity for organizations to work faster – but working faster must be sustainable, and ‘more speed’ shouldn’t mean ‘more problems,'” said Prasad Sankaran, EVP of Cognizant’s Software and Platform Engineering. “Cognizant Flowsource addresses this growing need and helps organizations improve throughput, quality and consistency across development. The result is better time to market for new and innovative products and services, as well as improvements in scale that can enable these enterprises to stay ahead of competition.”
Cognizant Flowsource provides a unified engineering platform connecting the work of all software delivery stakeholders and the development community. Gen AI-enabled tooling and process orchestration is woven throughout the developer experience, allowing team members to work faster and with more focus in a measurable and quantifiable manner. For example, teams can self-service with templates to provision code and environments, automate testing and documentation, leverage enterprise knowledge bases to drive code and component re-use, and speed coding processes with trained copilots.

“Cognizant Flowsource goes beyond productivity increases to ensure high quality code output through embedded, well architected practices and multiple levels of quality checks,” said Mukesh Dialani, IDC Research Vice President, Digital Engineering and Operational Technology Services. “With Cognizant Flowsource, talent can focus on what matters rather than repeatable, non-value add work. If I were a client, I would appreciate how Cognizant Flowsource allows me to move past technical debt and get rid of those issues faster, so we can focus on what matters to my business.”
With Cognizant Flowsource, business and engineering stakeholders can gain more transparency into the organization’s software engineering ecosystem. Problems can be solved faster, impact can be better understood, and strategy can be delivered more seamlessly. Cognizant Flowsource also works as an extendable platform that allows enterprises to add third party plugins to further accelerate work processes.
Cognizant Flowsource joins other platform offerings Cognizant has recently rolled out, including Cognizant Neuro AI, Cognizant Neuro IT Operations and Cognizant Skygrade, to help enterprises manage the complexity of their IT environments and modernize towards a cloud-native architecture.
