Cognizant has announced the launch of Cognizant Agent Foundry designed to help enterprises design, deploy and orchestrate autonomous AI agents at scale.
According to the official release, the offering comprises a framework along with reusable assets, leveraging Cognizant and third-party IP, and implementation services.
Built to enable continuous, agent-driven transformation, Cognizant Agent Foundry supports adaptive operations, real-time decision-making, and personalised customer experiences, empowering organisations to embed agentic capabilities across workflows.
“We’re entering a new phase of enterprise transformation, one where AI agents become embedded, trusted participants in how work gets done and transformation is managed,” Naveen Sharma, global head of AI and Analytics at Cognizant, said in the statement.
“Cognizant Agent Foundry helps our clients operationalise AI through a flexible, scalable framework that brings together the best of our own IP, industry expertise, and trusted partner technologies to bring the agentic enterprise to life.”
As enterprise AI adoption shifts from experimentation to execution, organisations are seeking a flexible path to reduce operational friction and unlock real business value, the company informed.
Cognizant Agent Foundry aims to deliver on this need by combining modular design, composability, enterprise-grade governance, and multi-platform interoperability.
It leverages Cognizant’s technology expertise and depth of industry knowledge to help clients ‘agentify’ horizontal and vertical processes using a range of foundational elements to ensure modularity and speed-to-market.
The offering has domain-specific small language models (SLMs), tailored to particular industry or horizontal needs; industrialised agent templates, built using platforms like Cognizant Neuro AI Multi-Agent; and Accelerator, and guidance on integration with partner solutions such as Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, Google Agentspace, Salesforce Agentforce and WRITER.
It also offers a pre-built library of proprietary Cognizant and third-party agents to accelerate deployment and reduce development cycles, the company shared.
This offering is built to support the full lifecycle of agent deployment across four stages – Discover, Design, Build and Scale, providing enterprises with a structured, repeatable path from strategy to execution.
Cognizant Agent Foundry is platform-agnostic, designed to integrate with existing enterprise systems (CRM, ERP, HRIS, cloud) and leading AI platforms. This includes collaboration under Cognizant’s partnerships with ServiceNow, Salesforce and WRITER, all of which bring differentiated capabilities to the agentic journey:
The company informed that Cognizant Agent Foundry supports compliance with standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and the EU AI Act, helping organisations stay ahead of evolving regulatory requirements while building trustworthy AI systems.
