Cognizant and Vianai partner to empower enterprise LLM development and application

Cognizant, the engineers of modern business, and Vianai Systems, Inc., the human-centered AI platform and products company, are announcing a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating global go-to-market strategies for human-centered AI solutions. This partnership will combine the powers of two solutions—Vianai’s hila Enterprise platform and Cognizant’s Neuro AI—to forward a streamlined, unified interface for prognostic, AI-powered decision making. 

The surge in popularity of large language models (LLMs) has defined the goals for many enterprises. However, being able to realistically—and successfully—implement this technology is a different animal entirely. 

Vianai’s hila Enterprise solution is a platform engineered to empower the safe and reliable deployment of any LLM throughout an organization. Specifically optimized and fine-tuned to an enterprise’s system of record—including both structured and unstructured data—hila Enterprise enables its customers to analyze, discover, and explore their proprietary data through the ease of conversational generative AI (GenAI), according to the company. 

"In every business around the world, there is a hunger to harness the power of AI, but serious challenges around hallucinations, price-performance, and lack of trust are holding enterprises back,” said Dr. Vishal Sikka, founder and chief executive officer of Vianai Systems. “That's why we built hila Enterprise, a platform that delivers trusted, human-centered applications of AI.”

hila Enterprise is also equipped with next-gen LLM monitoring capabilities that proactively monitor and analyze LLM performance to surface opportunities that enhance the reliability and trustworthiness of LLMs. 

Cognizant’s Neuro AI is an AI accelerator platform that drives the understanding, consumption, and customization of state-of-the-art GenAI models to build enterprise-grade solutions. With AI-powered tooling designed to empower rapid ideation, design, engineering, and deployment of AI solutions, Neuro AI offers fine-tuning, augmentation, governance, and visibility functions that ensure the successful implementation of an organization’s GenAI.

Powered by two comprehensive solutions, Vianai and Cognizant’s collaboration will drive growth opportunities for both entities, particularly forwarded by selling Vianai solutions through Cognizant. 

“In Cognizant, we have found a strategic partner with a distinguished history of delivering innovative services. Together we will deliver transformative applications of AI that businesses can truly rely on, built on the trusted foundation of hila Enterprise and Cognizant's Neuro AI platform,” said Sikka. 

"Being able to monitor and improve LLM performance is critical to unlocking the true power of generative AI," said Ravi Kumar S, chief executive officer of Cognizant. "With Vianai's platform and our Neuro AI platform, we believe we will be able to offer our clients a high-quality solution to support seamless data analysis with predictive decision-making capabilities."
