According to experts, it is all set to be the next big thing in the world of tech, and consequently, the degree of investment in this sector has increased exponentially.

In a new development, Indian information technology major Cognizant has decided to get into IoT in a big way as well, and since the company believes that it needs to strengthen its credentials first, it has taken the acquisition route. The company announced that it had reached a deal to acquire Zenith Technologies, which will not only strengthen its IoT capabilities but also give it a leg up when it comes to domain expertise in life sciences. Cognizant has been quite conservative with its approach over the past few months as new Chief Executive Officer Brian Humphries surveyed the situation, and now the company has decided to pull the trigger on an exciting project decisively.

The details of the deal have not been made available yet. However, it is important to note that it is a key acquisition and will help Cognizant in acquiring new clients in the months to come.

Industry 4.0 solutions, encompassing IoT, automation, and analytics, are a strategic focus area for Cognizant. In acquiring Zenith Technologies, we expand Cognizant’s IoT portfolio and extend our life sciences domain expertise by becoming a single-source provider of end-to-end smart factory capabilities.
