Accelerate Value and Market Share Capture from Major New Digital Innovations
Seize your digital advantage with Cognizant’s Greenfield Application Solution.
The boundaries between IT and business are steadily eroding, with digital business era services
and products relying on the seamless blending of experience and technology. Creating new
digitally powered offerings requires organizations to rethink how they scope, develop and deliver
software. Traditional IT practices—monolithic applications, waterfall development, siloes everywhere,
and annual release schedules—simply aren’t up to the speed, quality and creativity the digital
economy—and your customers—demand.
Your organization will launch market-leading strategic applications more swiftly and realize value
from them sooner with Greenfield Application Solution from Cognizant. Our modern engineering
practices, cloud native philosophy and unique POD development teams accelerate the delivery of
flexible, elegant applications that produce value immediately and over the long term.
Whether developing a new, business-transforming application from scratch or completely re-engineering
critical applications to run on next-generation platforms, we help your organization develop applications
that generate revenues, capture market share and exceed customer expectations.
Lead your industry’s innovation, enhance profitability and
drive digital experiences with Cognizant’s comprehensive
Greenfield Application Solution.

ACCELERATED, MODERN, DIGITALLY NATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR GREENFIELD APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
Cognizant’s Greenfield Application Solution enable your organization to launch strategic new and
re-engineered applications quickly, delivering prototypes in weeks and minimum viable products in
as little as two months. We establish a digital foundation that drives modern application development
with standardized, reusable and operationalized processes and helps your company move to a
digital-native state.
We incorporate our expertise in these components into our Greenfield Application Solution:
Modern Software Engineering Principles
• Agile: We use our expertise in Agile methodology and its collaborative and iterative process to enable
your organization to realize business value quickly, improve quality and gain predictable costs.
• Lean Startup: We bring our in-house experience in launching start-ups to your application
development, using continuous Build-Measure-Learn feedback loops for fast fine-tuning and
high-quality delivery.
• Test-Driven Development (TDD): Our teams draw on their skill and experience in using TDD’s very
short, highly focused development cycles to deliver key enhancements and new functions fast.
• Minimum Viable Product (MVP): We ensure your application aligns with real market needs with
rapid delivery of an MVP and continuous testing and validation with actual users to continuously
refine design and development.
• DevOps: We improve team velocity, shorten delivery cycles and increase the resiliency and quality
of your applications through our experience and skill in deploying DevOps methodology and its
continuous feedback loops between development and operations.
• Pair Programming: Our highly skilled programmers collaborate closely to reduce delays by mini-
mizing errors and bugs.

Modern Application Architecture and Technology Stacks
• Microservices Architecture: We improve the performance and flexibility of your applications
through our expertise and experience in designing and deploying highly modular microservices
architectures.
• Cloud Enablement: Our long experience in cloud deployment and cloud-native development
enables us to accelerate the delivery of high performing digitally native applications.
• Application Programming Interface (API)-Driven Development: We enable faster development
and spark innovation by making it easier for applications within your organization and from third
party systems to interact via APIs.
• Containerization: Our expertise with container technology enables your organization to get
to market faster while ensuring seamless experiences across multiple platforms and reducing
application operating costs.
PODS for High Quality Performance
Our high-performing POD teams execute high velocity, high quality engineering that delivers your
applications and services to market sooner. PODs are ultra-high-performing Agile teams consisting
of full-stack engineers. Their expertise ensures high velocity, maturity and engineering excellence
levels—right from the initial sprints. That enables our PODs to ensure high-quality deliverables at very
early stages so your organization benefits from faster time-to-value. Well-built applications also are
easier to manage and maintain, lowering the total cost of ownership.
Extensive Partner Network
Cognizant’s extensive partners network helps us ensure your new or reengineered development
takes full advantage of the latest and best tools and techniques. We have close relationships with
AWS, Google GCP, and Microsoft Azure, as well as with an extensive range of proven application
transformation and technology vendors, from Pivotal Cloud Foundry to New Relic, and many more.
3X3 Governance
We help ensure development efforts stay on schedule and on strategic target with integrated
governance best practices that encompass the project, business and technical realms as well as
the operational, program and strategic levels. We can also help manage interdependencies across
systems and multiple vendors.

IN THE REAL WORLD
Our clients already are introducing market-leading new capabilities through our Greenfield Application
Solution, including this case:
We built a cloud-based technology development platform for a major telecom and media provider
that is enabling its transformation into a technology company. Through the platform, based on
Pivotal Cloud Foundry, the client can launch and run new services at start-up speeds. The client has
made its platform capabilities available as a service to external business customers and government
agency clients, opening new revenue channels. The microservices architecture we designed has also
enabled our client to deliver new customer experiences, with major new applications rolling out
in months vs. years and new features in two weeks vs. three months through adopting complete
cloud-native solutions and new ways of working. The client is moving 400 development teams to the
Agile platform, which is eliminating silos and enabling creation of integrated product teams with
greater accountability.
MODERN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING EXECUTION ENSURES QUALITY, SPEED AND BUSINESS VALUE FROM MAJOR APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
Modern application development is fast, iterative and continuous. We embed those qualities in our
approach to developing your new and re-engineered applications. Our execution methods reflect
today’s business reality that customer needs and expectations constantly evolve—even as application
development is under way. Our approach builds in continuous improvement, incremental design,
feedback loops and validation, ensuring we deliver value at each phase of the development.

Conceptualization & Design: Executed in Two to Four Week Sprints
• Kickoff: We immerse ourselves in your project to understand your strategic intent and stakeholder
needs, establishing constraints and identifying opportunities to develop a shared vision and
project charter.
• Develop user stories and concepts: We identify and draft user and technical stories and
estimations, develop product backlogs and prioritize features. Through creating UI wireframes,
we build concepts and feature lists to test and then build into functional prototypes. As needed,
we can tap Cognizant’s relationship with ReD Associates, which uses ethnographic techniques to
identify user needs.
• Prototyping development and validation: We create functional prototypes with core features of
the concepts and test these among potential users. Feedback loops ensure continuous improvement
as we revise wireframes.
Build and Validate: Executed in Two to Four Week Sprints
• Foundation set-up: We develop a strong cloud-native digital platform, define the system
architecture, baseline dependent software and libraries, and identify cloud native design and
microservices patterns.
• Technology validation sprint: We develop and test, including an end-to-end flow incorporating the
user interface, services and databases; and establish continuous improvement (CI) and continuous
development (CD) tools and pipelines. This phase enables us to accelerate and test feature
development and use case sprints on a validated foundation.
• Feature development sprints: Our cadence delivers a production-ready release candidate with
test-certified code at every alternative sprint cycle. We build and test on a continuous release
schedule, with feedback loops and incremental design ensuring continuous improvement.
