In collaboration with Cognizant, Galvia provided the expertise and cutting-edge technology necessary to meet these objectives. Notable implementations include:
- Leading Higher Education Institution: Galvia and Cognizant partnered with a UK based World Leading University to develop a large language model (LLM) that automates curriculum authoring for the Mathematics department. This initiative streamlined and expedited the process, achieving unprecedented levels of efficiency.
- Leading UK Creative Agency: An LLM was developed to automate the creation of quality creative briefs at scale, enhancing productivity and consistency.
Results
The partnership between Galvia and Cognizant yielded remarkable results:
- Speed to Delivery: With Galvia’s proficiency, Cognizant can rapidly prototype and deploy MVPs, significantly reducing the time to market for AI solutions. As James Rowley, Associate Director at Cognizant, highlighted, “We use Galvia mainly to produce things like prototypes, MVPs. And Galvia is working at the cutting edge of technology.”
- Data Security and IP Retention: Galvia ensures that clients’ data and models remain secure and proprietary. This was particularly important for the University in question, where maintaining control over intellectual property was crucial. Rowley noted, “The IP is retained by the company or by the educational institution. So that’s something that’s really quite refreshing for us and it’s the right thing to do.”
- Seamless Integration: Galvia addresses and resolves security and integration challenges efficiently, enabling quick and smooth technology integration into existing systems. Rowley remarked, “It’s been relatively easy for us to do that with Galvia. There are security problems, there are integration problems, all of these have been solved.”

“Partnering with Galvia really helps Cognizant be able to deliver these new innovative solutions quickly and integrate them very easily.”
