Cognizant extends partnership with Kohler

Cognizant and Kohler announced a multi‑year extension of their strategic partnership to strengthen Kohler's digital and operational foundation.

Previously, the organizations worked together to strengthen and modernize Kohler's global digital foundation, scaling application and infrastructure capabilities and supporting the carve‑out and stand‑up of Kohler Energy; those efforts delivered improvements in reliability, accelerated software delivery, and expanded automation.

The renewed agreement integrates advanced cloud management, modernized infrastructure, AI‑driven security and observability, Data Center Operations (DCO), end‑user services, cloud platforms, and cybersecurity, and it referenced enterprise systems, Kohler.com and digital experiences, plus data and analytics; Cognizant Neuro® IT Operations and Generative AI (GenAI) were named among capabilities.

The collaboration deployed a Visualization Engine (VE) that drove improvements in reliability, accelerated software delivery, and expanded automation across Kohler's digital estate.

“We're excited to deepen the strategic collaboration to co‑architect Kohler's next‑generation digital foundation,” said Anup Prasad, Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Business Unit, Cognizant. “Over the past five years, we've proven the strength of our collaboration by driving major gains in reliability and elevating Kohler's customer experience.”

“This renewed partnership reflects our shared commitment to leveraging technology in pursuit of operational and business excellence,” said Eric Tabor, Chief Digital Officer, Kohler. The companies described plans to bring enhanced cloud management capabilities and next‑generation Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions, including Cognizant Neuro® IT Operations and GenAI, across enterprise systems, cloud platforms, DCO, and data and analytics.
