Cognizant and Microsoft will work more closely together. To this end, the parties are optimizing Cognizant’s hybrid multi-cloud management platform Skygrade for Azure, which is intended to simplify migration and AI implementation.
Cognizant and Microsoft are strengthening their relationships. After all, there will be a version of Cognizant Skygrade specifically tailored to Microsoft Azure. Skygrade is a hybrid multicloud management platform. Launched in 2023, Cognizant aims to help organizations modernize their critical applications.

Skygrade for Azure offers customers multiple options for building digital experiences with Microsoft AI technology. Microsoft’s data and application platforms are also integrated. The edition includes tools, processes and standards tailored to customers who have already chosen Azure.
AI is of course central to the offering, but migration is also an important pillar. Finally, Skygrade can handle Azure Migrate. For those who want to be in the Azure ecosystem but still want a hybrid approach, there is a Cognizant Skygrade reference model for the Azure Stack.
Microsoft and Cognizant have been partners for many years. With this new offering they are limiting their collaboration and Cognizant wants to play a more important role in the Azure world with Skygrade.
