metrics-driven culture that will allow us to take our infrastructure to a new
level," said Ken Citron, Chief Information Officer and EVP, Publishing
Operations. "Their willingness to build a true partnership and solve problems
has been invaluable."

"We believe Rodale's selection of Cognizant speaks to our domain
expertise and our ability to seamlessly leverage an ITIL-compliant platform
across a global delivery network, taking remote infrastructure management to
the next level," said Robert Boles, Vice President, IT Infrastructure
Services at Cognizant. "Our RIM 2.0 framework enables Rodale not only to
reduce costs significantly, but also to achieve greater visibility into
operations, enhanced workflow automation, overall operational maturity
improvements, and highly flexible sourcing options with our productized
