Hunter Technical Resources, a privately-held digital engineering and project management firm based in the United States, has sold digital engineering assets to Cognizant for an undisclosed sum.

This is Cognizant's sixth announced acquisition in 2021, according to a press release, as the company continues to expand in key strategic focus areas like digital engineering, data and artificial intelligence, cloud, and the Internet of Things.

Full-stack development, machine learning, DevOps, systems architecture, and data science are among the high-demand skills that Hunter Technical Resources engineers specialise in. The acquisition strengthens Cognizant's digital engineering resources in the United States and solidifies the company's position as one of the world's largest digital engineering firms.

Cognizant is a multinational technology company based in the United States that specialises in business consulting, information technology, and outsourcing. Teaneck, New Jersey, is where the company's headquarters are located.

Cognizant is a NASDAQ-100 company with a ticker symbol of CTSH. It began as a Dun and Bradstreet in-house technology unit in 1994 and began serving external clients in 1996.

HUNTER was founded more than two decades ago by Georgia Tech graduates who saw a need for a staffing firm run by techies who could truly understand their clients' technology needs.

HUNTER is based in Atlanta, Georgia, with regional offices in Dallas, Texas, and Denver, Colorado. HUNTER works with a wide range of clients and industries across the country, from Fortune 100 companies to small, cutting-edge technology companies.
