Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH), a leading provider of global consulting,
software, IT infrastructure and business process services, announced today
the official inauguration of its 35th global delivery center in Buenos Aires,
Argentina. The new center will support Cognizant's North American customers

Other honored guests for the inauguration included Mr. Mauricio Macri,
Head of Government of the City of Buenos Aires; Mr. Earl Anthony Wayne,
Ambassador of the United States of America; and Mrs. Gloria Gangte, First
Secretary of the Indian Embassy in Argentina.

Cognizant's association with Buenos Aires commenced in 2007 with a unique
model of co-creating value for Kimberly-Clark Corporation (K-C), jointly
working with their local teams. With the association with K-C growing
rapidly, and with other marquee customers in key vertical spaces like
consumer goods, retail, financial services and insurance evincing interest in
leveraging same time zone support, Cognizant has set up the new facility that
has the capacity to accommodate approximately 250 professionals.

"Cognizant has delivered on its commitment to provide Kimberly-Clark with
a suite of global IT services and has high standards of customer satisfaction
and demonstrated capabilities in driving transformational outsourcing
programs," said Ramon F. Baez, Chief Information Officer of Kimberly-Clark.
"We are pleased to have been instrumental in helping Cognizant become a major
presence in Buenos Aires, while taking our IT function to the next higher
level. Argentina is a key location in K-C's global sourcing mix."

"Our DNA of having a strong local relationship management with global
sourcing capabilities will be strengthened by our new Argentina delivery
center," said Francisco D'Souza, president and CEO of Cognizant. "Our
investments in newer global, regional and local delivery centers will help
our clients seamlessly harness optimal talent globally for providing
differentiated value to their end customers. It is truly an exciting time to
be in Argentina as the country continues to grow its technology exports, and
with our strong talent base in India, we look forward to being a part of the
growing relations between India and Argentina as well."

Cognizant's Buenos Aires regional delivery will fully leverage the
recently launched Cognizant 2.0 platform. This platform enables all of
Cognizant's global, regional and local development centers to seamlessly and
virtually collaborate through one central platform using the Web 2.0
technologies and deliver significant time-to-market, cost and
transformational value to clients.

Argentina is one of the fast growing economies worldwide due to increased
local business demand and government support. The country has high levels of
education borne out by its high rate of enrollment and strong output of
quality business and technology students in higher education. In addition to
cost advantages, sound IT and telecom infrastructure, the country offers a
rich IT talent pool with good proficiency in Spanish.
