Cognizant has acquired Atlanta-based privately-held Code Zero Consulting which specializes in helping companies digitally transform by providing strategy, implementation and migration capabilities to evolve legacy systems to cloud-based CPQ and billing systems.
The acquisition will strengthen Cognizant’s cloud solutions portfolio and Salesforce CPQ and billing capabilities.
The company has not disclosed financial details of the deal.
In October 2018, Cognizant had acquired ATG, a consultancy focused on quote-to-cash (QTC) business processes and technologies.
Code Zero is a Salesforce Platinum Partner and includes leading global enterprises among its clients across industries, particularly manufacturing and financial services.
Code Zero’s team of professionals, based primarily in Atlanta, and Charlotte will complement and extend ATG’s footprint, a Cognizant statement said.
The founding team at Code Zero took their experience from global consulting firms to create an evolved firm that can provide the same level of maturity as the larger firms, it said.
“The acquisition of Code Zero enriches our cloud offerings, brings deep domain expertise to our clients and further strengthens our strategic relationship with Salesforce.com,” said Brian Humphries, CEO of Cognizant. “I’m delighted to welcome Code Zero’s professional team to Cognizant.”
Gene Nix, co-founder and managing partner of Code Zero says, “We’re thrilled to be joining Cognizant, a global Fortune 200 firm, and ATG, a world-leading QTC consultancy,”
“Cognizant and ATG share our passion for collaborating with clients and helping them succeed in their digital transformation endeavours. Combining our respective expertise in advising on, implementing and managing CPQ and billing business processes and technologies contributes to a true global powerhouse of Salesforce platform expertise,” he said.
Cognizant is one of the world’s leading professional services companies, transforming clients’ business, operating and technology models for the digital era.
Headquartered in the U.S., Cognizant is ranked 193 on the Fortune 500 and is consistently listed among the most admired companies in the world.
