In its eighth acquisition so far in 2020, Cognizant has agreed to acquire Bright Wolf, a privately held technology services firm that specializes in providing custom Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions to Fortune 1000 companies.
"Combining Bright Wolf's experience in production-class IIoT deployments with Cognizant's expertise in foundational IIoT technologies will increase our clients' resiliency, operational efficiency, and competitive advantage," said Malcolm Frank, President, Digital Business, Cognizant. "Companies are increasingly embracing IIoT, and Bright Wolf's team of senior IIoT architects have delivered the business value others have struggled to achieve. We look forward to this talented team joining Cognizant."
Implementing Industrial Internet of Things solutions is no small task, and represents the digitization of many business areas that have traditionally been a lot less high-tech.
