In order to improve business operations and provide better patient and member experiences, Cognizant today announced an expansion of their long-standing healthcare collaboration with Microsoft. This will make cutting-edge technology solutions, streamlined claims management, and improved interoperability readily available to healthcare payers and providers.

Cognizant and Microsoft will collaborate to create an integration roadmap between TriZetto healthcare technologies from Cognizant and Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare as part of the expansion. Additionally, the businesses will work together to create and manage Cognizant's current and future healthcare SaaS solutions on Microsoft Azure, migrate new and current clients from on-premises environments to streamlined operations managed on the Microsoft Cloud, and support emerging technologies intended to deliver fresh insights for payers, providers, and consumers.

Microsoft and Cognizant work together on a range of healthcare provider and payer solutions, including interoperability and cost estimating suites in a SaaS environment. Cognizant is a recognised market leader in healthcare cloud-based administration. Consumers can more easily obtain historical healthcare data, review procedure costs for services, and compare pricing among providers thanks to this cooperative effort, enabling them to make knowledgeable healthcare decisions.

"Delivering leading technology to our healthcare clients is critical in enabling payers and providers to focus more time on supporting quality of care for beneficiaries," said Surya Gummadi, EVP and President, Cognizant Americas. "Through our strategic partnership with Microsoft and building on our advanced TriZetto healthcare solutions, we are empowering clients to adapt to shifting market trends, regulatory changes, and operational demands. We are proud to work together with Microsoft in this capacity, delivering superior technology and capabilities that support both our clients and positive health outcomes for their members."

"Through this integration with Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare, TriZetto customers can harness the innovative features and capabilities across the entire Microsoft Cloud, empowering them to unlock growth, tap into new revenue streams, and transition their existing services to the cloud," said Tom McGuinness, Corporate Vice President, Global Healthcare & Life Sciences, Microsoft.
