Cognizant Deploys a Global Risk Engineering Platform for Torus Insurance

Global specialty insurer partners with Cognizant to enhance risk engineering services to its internal and external clients

LONDON and TEANECK, New Jersey, October 14, 2010 - Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH), a leading provider of consulting, technology,
and business process outsourcing services, has announced the successful
development and deployment of a state-of-the-art global risk engineering
platform for Torus Insurance.

The new platform streamlines Torus' analytical risk engineering processes
enabling better differentiation of risks with superior pricing accuracy, thus
improving service to buyers and their brokers, and improving operational
efficiency and effectiveness. Its intuitive interface and user-friendly
reports will also improve the consistency, reliability, and security of
risk-related data, and enhance customer experience.

"This platform developed by Cognizant is an important part of our efforts
to establish Torus as a property leader with an intense focus on risk
differentiation through best-in-class engineering and actuarial analysis,"
said Bob Klepper, Chief Underwriting Officer for Global Property at Torus.

"Our relationship with Cognizant, which started with a consulting
engagement in August 2009, has since expanded into several areas," said Jeff
Smith, Group Chief Information Officer at Torus. "We originally selected
Cognizant for its consulting-led approach, application development
capabilities, as well as its industry expertise in developing critical
business applications for global insurers. Cognizant's ability to take up
end-to-end responsibility from defining the IT blueprint, to designing the
user experience, building the system, and rolling out post-production support
has helped us build an application that will provide us better visibility of
the risks we underwrite, improve productivity, and enhance the perception of
Torus with clients and brokers."

"We are pleased to have successfully developed and deployed such a
futuristic risk engineering platform for Torus," said Sanjiv Gossain, Senior
Vice President and Head of the UK and Ireland Operations for Cognizant. "The
success of this engagement is a testament to our consulting, domain, business
analysis, development, and delivery capabilities. Our solution accelerators
focused on insurance risk information enabled us to deliver a solution that
will allow Torus to systematically analyze complex industry data while
achieving substantial efficiency gains. We look forward to further
strengthening our relationship with Torus as we develop the customer and
broker portal, which will form part of the next stage release of the
product."
