"Amazon's Just Walk Out technology benefits all CIT students, especially those studying outside of regular business hours," said Andrew Scotford, CEO of the CIT Student Association.

Café YalaPlus now offers convenient access to food, beverages, and other essential items."

Cognizant helps organizations deploy and deliver technology solutions designed to enhance customer experiences and support rapid growth while minimizing the risk of technological misalignment.
