Today, Cognizant announced it has entered into a deal for acquiring Servian, which is a Sydney (Australia)-based, privately-held enterprise transformation consulting firm, specialized in data analytics, artificial intelligence, digital services, experience design and cloud.

Servian, which is Cognizant’s 10th digital-focused acquisition, announced since January 2020, highlighting Cognizant’s strategy for accelerating capabilities and growth in priority areas of data and artificial intelligence, digital engineering, cloud, and internet of things.

Servian acquisition significantly expands Cognizant’s integrated, end-to-end digital transformation capabilities in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) for helping clients in adopting cloud, build digital products and services, unlock value from data, modernize enterprise applications, and achieve operational excellence.

"Enterprises in Australia and New Zealand are at an inflection point in their digital adoption," said Jane Livesey, CEO, Cognizant Australia and New Zealand. "Cognizant's extensive digital expertise combined with Servian's strengths as the premier technology partner in the region will open up the full power of digital transformation for our Australasian clients. We look forward to welcoming Servian's talented digital-native professionals to Cognizant," said Tony Nicol, Founder and CEO, Servian. He went on saying, "Enabling clients to leverage their data assets for accelerating business transformation and driving competitive advantage is at the heart of our success. We share Cognizant's passion for innovation powered by digital technologies. With Cognizant's deep industry expertise and global scale, we will be able to apply our strengths in strategic advisory, engineering delivery, and managed services across an even broader spectrum of challenges and opportunities presented by the digital economy."

1200+ Australia professionals of Cognizant are serving 110+ clients, which include top Australian banks, insurers, retailers, and communications companies. In the last few years, the company has been consistent in strengthening its in-country cloud, product engineering, platform, Salesforce, and Workday capabilities for expanding its digital business in Australia.

Servian, founded in 2008, has worked with 190 major companies in ANZ in the banking, telecommunications, insurance, retail, and government sectors, which include ANZ’s eight out of 15 largest companies. With the closing of the acquisition, Servian’s 500+ technology and consulting professionals, based primarily in ANZ, will join Cognizant, forging twice the size of the Cognizant’s cloud and data team in ANZ.

Servian’s expertise in digital technologies has allured partnerships from the largest industry names like Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Salesforce, Snowflake, Oracle, HashiCorp, Talend, Informatica, and Red Hat. Servia was named Google's Service Partner of the Year in 2019, Snowflake's Let It Snow and Snow Mate Australia in 2019, HashiCorp's APJ Services Partner of the Year in 2020, and Talend's APAC Partner of the Year Value-Added Reseller in 2020.

The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021, which is subjected to regulatory clearance, and other closing conditions. Financial details yet to disclose.
