Cognizant Solution Overview
Cognizant’s nXg Device Analytics for Customer
Satisfaction
The difficulty in monitoring and analyzing data
collected by devices about their overall
performance often results in businesses
sacrificing the opportunity to gain insights. This
has created a need for an intuitive solution that
has the capability of capturing data transmitted
from the devices to proactively predict device
failures. There is a great need for such a solution
that promises reduced service disruption,
increased productivity, optimized planning and
maximized customer experience.
nXg Device Analytics
Cognizant is developing innovative business
solutions based on the concept of Code Halos*,
the virtual digital information that surrounds any
person, device and organization. nXg Device
Analytics, a sophisticated analytical product is
one such initiative.
Solution Overview | 2014
nXg addresses device failure prediction, helps
accelerate performance efficiency and generates a
holistic picture of device health and performance.
It taps into the “halo” surrounding the devices to
develop a near real-time insight into devices’
functional status. nXg can be customized by
businesses and easily implemented.
Highlights of nXg
nXg is a product built on Cognizant’s proven
BigDecisionsTM Business Solutions Platform. With
such a robust backbone, nXg empowers
businesses to:
 Build an end-to-end
turnkey solution that
captures, extracts, transforms, loads, manages,
and analyzes device data to provide actionable
business insights to the end user.
 Use specialized machine learning algorithms for
predictive analytics.
 Capitalize on out-of-the-box BI Dashboards and
Reports that enable customers perform
analyses of device failures, as well as identify
trends and patterns that led to device errors and
crashes.
 Predict device failures in near real-time, which
will help in determining the probability of failure
and mean time between failures (MTBF).

In today’s highly competitive environment,
smooth functioning and optimum performance of
the devices is critical for the success of any
business operation. Failure of the devices can
trigger a chain reaction causing inefficiencies.
This can affect the overall organizational
performance, impacting the key business drivers
such as customer experience, cost, operational
efficiency and revenue growth.
