Cognizant Technology Solutions announced a five‑year IT services agreement with ERIKS, a global provider of industrial components, to manage all of ERIKS’ operational IT services and support its technology modernization across Europe and beyond.
The partnership builds on a relationship that began in 2017; the new contract extends that relationship into a strategic partnership that allows ERIKS to focus on high‑value IT initiatives while Cognizant delivers end‑to‑end services and advanced expertise.
Under the agreement, Cognizant will oversee ERIKS’ day‑to‑day IT operations and drive modernization projects that include generative AI and cloud‑native platforms, helping ERIKS accelerate innovation, improve operational efficiency, and scale new technologies.
For Cognizant, the deal expands its footprint in the industrial sector and adds a high‑profile, revenue‑generating client to its portfolio. For ERIKS, the agreement reduces internal IT burden, provides access to advanced expertise, and supports the company’s digital transformation goals. ERIKS IT Director Iman Koster said the partnership “allows ERIKS to concentrate on strategic IT roles and develop key capabilities by providing us with expedited access to advanced technical expertise.”
The contract comes on the heels of Cognizant’s strong Q3 2025 earnings, which beat expectations and underscored the company’s AI‑enabled service delivery model. Analysts highlighted the deal as a tangible example of Cognizant’s strategy to embed AI and cloud services in industrial clients, reinforcing confidence in the company’s growth trajectory.
The five‑year agreement signals confidence from both parties and underscores Cognizant’s commitment to delivering AI‑driven, cloud‑native solutions to industrial customers, positioning the company for continued expansion in the sector.
