"[AI] is a system designed to bring human-like intelligence to decisions and perform sophisticated and complex actions that past technology could not perform," wrote Michele Goetz, Forrester. "To develop AI capabilities, firms need to take into account the head and body of the system when building their robots. This is no small task, as it requires a different approach to strategy, operations, culture, technology, analytics, and data than enterprises have taken in the past when investing in applications, databases, analytics, infrastructure, and talent. As a result of these trends, AI Consultancy customers should look for providers that have made the leap and differentiate analytics to AI… address the entire AI system from design to production… [and] are a leader and innovator of business and AI."
"Businesses worldwide are now incorporating AI into their infrastructures to enhance customer experiences, and improve organizational agility, speed and productivity," said Malcolm Frank, President, Cognizant Digital Business. "Cognizant has made significant investments in both expertise and technology to become the strategic AI consultancy of choice for our clients. Our unique capabilities allow clients to garner the right intelligence from their data to make more impactful business decisions that improve the bottom line, streamline processes, and gain more meaningful market and customer insights.
