Business Units
Cognizant is organized into several verticals and horizontal units. The vertical units focus on specific industries such as Banking & Financial Services, Healthcare, Manufacturing and Retail. The horizontals focus on specific technologies or process areas such as Analytics, BPO and Testing. The horizontal and the vertical units are often further sub-divided into sub-units. Both horizontal and vertical units have business consultants, which together form the organization-wide Cognizant Business Consulting (CBC) team. The CBC members are also involved in business development and business analysis for the IT services projects. Besides these, there are several other corporate teams such as Finance, Immigration, Legal and Marketing.

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or units:
“The whole business of your life overwhelms you when you live alone. One’s stupefied by it. To get rid of it you try to daub some of it off on to people who come to see you, and they hate that. To be alone trains one for death.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
