Cognizant Acquires Paris-Based Galileo Performance, an Information Technology Testing Consultancy

Acquisition Expands Cognizant's Global Testing Practice, One of the World's Largest, And Extends Footprint in France

TEANECK, New Jersey, June 17, 2010 - Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH), a leading provider of information technology,
consulting, and business process outsourcing services, announced today it has
acquired Galileo Performance, a Paris-based provider of information
technology (IT) testing consulting services. The terms of the transaction
were not disclosed.

Galileo helps leading companies in France optimize and extend business
performance through IT system measurement, management and testing. Galileo
will expand and complement Cognizant's fast-growing global testing practice,
currently among the world's largest with more than 10,000 testing
professionals, while strengthening Cognizant's existing business presence in
France.

Outsourced testing services have been growing significantly, not only for
their value in lowering the cost of quality assurance and software
maintenance, but also for ensuring tighter alignment of IT with business
objectives, greater operational effectiveness, and improved governance and
risk mitigation. Industry research firm IDC forecasts a five-year CAGR of 19%
for discrete global testing services, reaching an estimated US$17.7 billion
by 2013.(1)

"We welcome Galileo's talented consultants to Cognizant. The acquisition
will enable Cognizant to bring world-class testing services to the French
market, and the addition of French-speaking consultants will help us better
serve our customers in the region," said Francisco D'Souza, President and
CEO, Cognizant.

"We are delighted to join Cognizant. With a shared commitment to client
satisfaction and delivery excellence, together we can deliver a comprehensive
suite of software testing services spanning consulting, enterprise services
and functionality testing, with a native French-speaking capability," said
Abel Guerrini, Managing Director, Galileo Performance.

"New virtualized business and technology architectures require that
quality assurance and testing organizations transform themselves into full
lifecycle partners, working with business users, developers and others within
and outside of the client organization to champion software quality," said
Sumithra Gomatam, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Cognizant's
Testing Practice. "We look forward to working with the Galileo team to expand
Cognizant's testing services in the French market, and to bring innovative
testing services including managed test centers as well as virtualized and
