Cognizant Boosts Software Development Arm With Tin Roof Acquisition
Story Highlights
Professional services firm Cognizant has acquired Atlanta-based Tin Roof Software, a privately-held software and digital product development services company, specializing in digital products geared toward improving customer experiences. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Cognizant expects the acquisition to boost its software product engineering footprint in the U.S. and will integrate Tin Roof’s experts into its broader global software development footprint.
“To compete effectively, clients are replacing traditional application development with digital engineering to build leading-edge, consumer-grade experiences and infuse software into their products, services, and customer experiences,” said Malcolm Frank, president of Cognizant’s digital business. “Cognizant is investing to compete and win in digital engineering, one of our strategic priorities. Tin Roof’s exceptional software product development and agile teams share our philosophy of customer-centricity and will strengthen our network of engineering talent in the U.S. We look forward to welcoming Tin Roof’s software product engineering experts to Cognizant.”
With operations Atlanta and Dallas-Fort Worth, Tin Roof provides software design, development, DevOps, and delivery services for clients, including custom offerings for Fortune 500 clients around re-architecting and migrating products to the cloud, customer-facing web and mobile apps, and secure payment processing systems. Along with media and entertainment, Tin Roof services the telecom, financial services, consumer products and travel industries.
Upon completion of the acqusition, expected later this year, Tin Roof’s experts will join Cognizant’s Softvision division.
“Delivering strategic, innovative solutions that drive tangible business outcomes is at the heart of our success,” said Daniel Gore, president and CEO of Tin Roof Software. “We look forward to our software product engineering experts joining Cognizant Softvision and connecting to Cognizant’s global delivery model, complementing Cognizant’s deep expertise in artificial intelligence, data, Internet of Things, cloud, and interactive experience.”
