Dubbed the ‘Product Digital Thread’ project and powered by Cognizant’s BigDecisions data modernization platform, the digital thread technology framework has provided Lexmark with predictive analytics and enhanced visibility into the quality control of its products.

“We recognized the value in being able to “close the loop” on data and analytics across the lifecycle of our hardware and supplies, correlating data from product design through manufacturing, distribution, and operations – all the way to decommissioning,” said Tom Eade, Senior Vice President and Chief Information and Technology Officer at Lexmark. “Our partnership with Cognizant has been crucial to reinventing how we service our customers. Cognizant’s expertise and speed of delivery helped transform our operational and technology infrastructure so that we can continue to produce modernized, exceptional products in less time and at a lower cost to our customers.”
