Case Study: Cognizant achieves automated, centralized project and portfolio management and faster delivery with Planview AdaptiveWork

Cognizant Automates Program and Project Management Processes to Drive Internal Transformation

Cognizant, a global professional services and IT consulting firm with over 340,000 employees, faced a major challenge after a 2020 security breach: modernize and govern more than 40 remediation and transformation programs while replacing manual, inconsistent, and costly project and portfolio management processes. The company needed centralized visibility, streamlined governance, and a cost-effective way to coordinate teams, meetings, and reporting across domains.

Cognizant implemented Planview PPM (Planview AdaptiveWork) to standardize templates, centralize demand intake and investment planning, and automate reporting and charters. Within six months of phased releases they gained consistent processes, improved predictability and visibility, quicker time-to-market, what-if and prioritization capabilities, and stronger governance—setting the organization on a path to centralized resource capacity management and an integrated enterprise PPM platform.
