CHENNAI: Cognizant on Wednesday inaugurated its 35th global delivery centre in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The new centre will support the company’s North American customers in a similar time zone, leverage techno-functional and lingual capabilities available in the region to service global customers, and provide a base to service customers in South America.

The honoured guests for the inauguration of the centre included Mauricio Macri, Head of Government of the City of Buenos Aires; Earl Anthony Wayne, Ambassador of the United States of America; and Gloria Gangte, First Secretary of the Indian Embassy in Argentina, according to a company statement.

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 this association and other marquee customers in key vertical spaces, Cognizant has set up the new facility that has the capacity to accommodate about 250 professionals, the statement adds.

“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. “Our DNA of having a strong local relationship management with global sourcing capabilities will be strengthened by our new Argentina delivery centre,” said Francisco D’Souza, President and CEO of Cognizant. Cognizant’s Buenos Aires regional delivery will fully leverage the recently launched Cognizant 2.0 platform.
