Cognizant Tops KPMG's Client Satisfaction Rankings Across Europe

(PRN) - - Scores High on Key Performance Indicators

London And Amsterdam (ots/PRNewswire) - Cognizant
[http://www.cognizant.com/] announced today that it has topped the
client satisfaction and relationship rankings in KPMG's Outsourcing
2012 study of service provider performance across Europe.

Cognizant topped the rankings in general satisfaction and
relationship management-both strategic and operational-with scores
significantly higher than the industry average. In addition, the
company secured top scores on several key performance indicators such
as innovation, knowledge transition, and governance.

The independent study evaluated 22 European IT service providers
based on an assessment of more than 2,900 unique client-provider
relationships. As part of the study, CFOs, CIOs or their direct
reports at some 1,100 of the top IT spending organizations in Western
Europe were interviewed.

"Our top client satisfaction ranking across Europe in the KPMG study
is a testament to our client-first culture that is at the heart of
our differentiated business model and unique value proposition," said
Rajeev Mehta, Group Chief Executive, Industries and Markets,
Cognizant. "We remain committed to delivering a distinctly superior
experience to our clients in Europe by nurturing strong client
relationships, continuing investments to bring our industry-leading
processes to Europe, and building strong local teams and
capabilities.

"With major structural forces impacting every industry we serve, we
believe that Cognizant is uniquely positioned to help clients turn
market volatility into an opportunity for competitive
differentiation, transforming their businesses to drive agility,
innovation, and top-line growth. Amid globalization, regulatory
changes, virtualization, and a confluence of new technology
architectures such as social, mobile, analytics and cloud, clients
are increasingly turning to a partner such as Cognizant that can help
them achieve new levels of business performance," added Rajeev Mehta.

"We congratulate Cognizant for topping the satisfaction rankings in
Europe yet again with excellent client feedback and top scores across
several key performance indicators," said Jef Loos, Head of Sourcing
Research for KPMG in Europe. "Cognizant's consistently superior
levels of client satisfaction across multiple countries make the
company a top performer amongst the 22 pan-European companies we
evaluated. The findings affirm client confidence in Cognizant's
consulting-led, relationship-driven business model, and its ability
to deliver business value."
