Cognizant launches new delivery centre in Adelaide

Technology services and consulting company Cognizant has expanded its presence in Australia with the launch of a new delivery centre in Adelaide.

The new facility will offer A/NZ clients more direct access to locally based and highly skilled technology experts in areas including AI, machine learning, cloud computing and data analytics.

Cognizant has announced plans to hire 1600 digital roles in Adelaide by 2026 to support the new centre, hiring locally, interstate and internationally. The recruitment program will focus on people in the early stages of their career, as well as on reskilling people seeking a career change to digital technology.

Cognizant Australia & New Zealand CEO Jane Livesey, who attended the opening of the new centre earlier this month, said with the centre Cognizant is confirming its ongoing investment into developing local Australian talent.

“I'm really excited to see our doors open here in Adelaide and meet the first of our growing teams. This centre will soon become a thriving hub of digital experts who are skilled and ready to partner with Australian businesses and governments for their digital transformation initiatives,” she said.

“We’re proud to join the growing technology community here in Adelaide and play our part in contributing to the economic vibrancy of South Australia, as more of our employees and their families choose to call it their home.”
