Cognizant Launches Axis Bank’s Five-Year AMS 2.0 Partnership
Axis Bank has hired Cognizant to help manage its computer applications.
The work is part of a programme called AMS 2.0.
The programme is designed to make technology operations more consistent and reliable.
It also aims to use more automation, which means letting technology handle some tasks automatically.
The agreement will last for five years.
Cognizant will support systems used by areas such as branches, cards, payments, banking and finance.
Axis Bank said the partnership should help it handle its technology needs as the bank develops.
Cognizant said it will work to improve the stability and efficiency of the bank’s applications.
Cognizant has implemented and launched Application Management Services under Axis Bank’s AMS 2.0 initiative.
The programme aims to strengthen delivery governance, improve operational consistency and expand automation.
The five-year agreement covers systems across seven major banking and technology business verticals.
Axis Bank said the initiative is intended to create a more resilient, scalable and automation-enabled operations model.
Cognizant said it will focus on disciplined service delivery, governance-led operations, stability and efficiency.
