Agreement aims to enhance quality assurance
operational efficiency and improve user experience across 26 public
service apps for Danish Municipal IT solutions
COPENHAGEN, Denmark,
Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Cognizant (NASDAQ: CTSH) today announced its deal with KOMBIT,
a municipally owned IT company responsible for strategically
operating critical IT solutions for 98 Danish municipalities. As
Denmark increasingly prioritizes
modern and efficient IT solutions, the collaboration between
Cognizant and KOMBIT promises to set a new benchmark in software
testing and quality assurance.
KOMBIT is vital in providing, administrating, and progressing
modern and resilient IT solutions and infrastructure for
Denmark's citizens and businesses.
With a portfolio encompassing nationwide IT solutions, this
agreement aims to centralize the quality assurance and testing of
all 26 public service applications under KOMBIT's jurisdiction.
In a joint effort with KOMBIT, Cognizant will initially focus on
enhancing all applications' quality standards and operational
efficiency. Then, it will implement Testing-as-a-service, which
uses advanced automation techniques. Subsequently, it will
integrate AI to strengthen capabilities further and streamline
processes. This strategic enhancement aims to improve application
functionality and expedite time to market while significantly
uplifting security infrastructure and user experience.
This partnership introduces a new standard for testing and
quality assurance in Denmark. By
separating development tasks from testing tasks, the collaboration
allows development suppliers to focus on creating, coding, and
innovating, while the Cognizant-KOMBIT test team ensures quality,
standardization, and optimization. This strategic division aims to
address KOMBIT'S challenges of quality and transparency and the
desire to shift the budget from testing to development.
Cognizant's involvement from the pre-maturity phase through the
lifecycle of the entire solution ensures that quality and test
specialists are integral to the process. This proactive engagement
extends to preparing future tenders and requests for changes to
existing solutions, positioning Cognizant as a critical player in
the ongoing development of KOMBIT'S IT infrastructure.
To provide KOMBIT with the best possible experience and team,
Cognizant has partnered with TestHuset, an expert in the quality
assurance and testing of digital solutions in the Nordic region.
TestHuset joins forces with Cognizant, supporting with Danish
on-premises experts who complement Cognizant's global team and
provide KOMBIT with unparalleled support and expertise.
"This landmark deal underscores our commitment to delivering
top-notch quality assurance and testing services, setting a new
benchmark for IT solutions in Denmark," said Thomas Djursø, Country Manager,
Cognizant Denmark. "We are excited to partner with KOMBIT to
enhance their applications' operational efficiency and security,
ultimately improving the user experience for citizens and
businesses across Denmark."
"Our collaboration with Cognizant is a transformative
opportunity that allows us to focus more resources on development
while maintaining the highest standards in quality assurance. This
relationship is pivotal in advancing our IT infrastructure for the
benefit of our municipalities," said Heidi
Kristoffersen, Head of Quality and Testing at
