The learning and education market is expected to experience significant growth in the next few years. To meet the needs of digital students and transform learning into an engaging experience, Cognizant developed a digital learning platform using an agile delivery model. The platform provides scalability, multi-channel delivery, and rapid development capabilities. It was delivered using practices like continuous development, reuse of existing assets, and planned rollouts to achieve operational excellence and innovation.
