10th Magnitude will be Cognizant’s sixth cloud-related acquisition in 2020, highlighting Cognizant’s continued acceleration and execution of its cloud strategy.

10th Magnitude, one of Microsoft’s longest-standing Azure-centric partners, offers advisory and managed services, including data center transformation, application modernization, and data intelligence with AI-driven analytics and insights.

“Modernizing business platforms by shifting to the cloud is a key priority for our clients,” said Greg Hyttenrauch, President, Cognizant Digital Systems and Technology. “The acquisition of 10th Magnitude underscores our commitment to Microsoft, one of our leading strategic partners, and will further strengthen our ability to provide Azure expertise to our clients as they embrace the cloud. We are excited to unlock the power of this acquisition and to welcome 10th Magnitude’s outstanding team to Cognizant.”

Upon the close of the acquisition, 10th Magnitude’s Azure experts will join Cognizant as part of the Microsoft Business Group. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, including regulatory clearance. Financial details were not disclosed.
