Cognizant is set to deploy 1,000 context engineers to advance agentic AI solutions for businesses. This initiative involves a partnership with Workfabric AI, leveraging their ContextFabric platform to convert organisational data into actionable insights for AI agents. Context engineers will capture enterprise knowledge, build integration pipelines, and create industry-specific solutions, ensuring governance, privacy and security.
The ContextFabric platform transforms how teams operate, including workflows, data, rules and processes, into actionable context for AI agents. It serves as a continuous runtime grounding layer, keeping agents aligned with workflows and real-world execution patterns. This approach ensures holistic context management, enabling AI agents to operate effectively and securely at scale, accelerating time-to-value and enhancing solution quality.
Cognizant defines context as a company's knowledge base, encompassing its operating model, roles, goals, metrics, processes, policies and governance systems. These skills will be developed across Cognizant's service lines through targeted training and integrated with Cognizant's Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC). The initiative aims to help clients move towards scalable AI adoption.
