New Cognizant Research Reveals $4.7 Trillion in Untapped AI Value Across G2000

Organizations that pair mature technology infrastructure with a fundamentals-first AI investment strategy outperform laggards by 31% on composite outcomes—and could unlock trillions in unrealized value across the G2000

TEANECK, N.J., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cognizant (NASDAQ: CTSH) today released new research showing that AI’s real-world results depend less on the technology itself than on the maturity of a company’s tech infrastructure and where it directs its investment. The companies getting this right are generating financial returns measurable in the billions.

The study, “Closing the AI Execution Gap: A $2 Billion Business Boost,” surveyed 1,100 senior business leaders at Global 2000 companies and 100 startups across 10 industries. Its central finding is stark: two-thirds of leaders have yet to demonstrate measurable business productivity gains from AI, and one in four have already paused or abandoned AI deployments—with an estimated average of $2 billion in unrealized cost savings and revenue opportunity.

The research identifies a clear set of behaviors that separates the top performers from the rest.

31% — The performance gap between the highest- and lowest-performing AI segments on composite outcomes.

$1B–$2B — Estimated annual returns available to a typical G2000 company that moves from the weakest to the strongest performing segment.

$4.7T — Total unrealized annual value across the G2000 when worker productivity, business productivity, revenue and cost reduction are included.

60% — How much more likely organizations with immature infrastructure and broad AI investment are to abandon a deployment versus those with the same infrastructure who invest in AI fundamentals first.

27% — Productivity advantage held by organizations with strong data foundations versus those still working to improve theirs.

“The evidence in this research could not be more direct: companies that build on a mature technology foundation and invest in AI fundamentals first are already generating billions in returns that their competitors are leaving on the table,” said Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S. “This is the AI Builder dividend and it is real, it is quantifiable, and it is widening. Two-thirds of organizations have yet to move the needle on business productivity from AI. That is not a capability gap in technology. That is an execution gap. Cognizant exists precisely to close it. We help companies do the work that unlocks AI value: strengthening compute infrastructure, building data foundations that AI can trust, and deploying the focused investment strategies that turn AI’s potential into verifiable, compounding returns.”

The research shows organizations can continue to improve their AI outcomes through building technical and data foundations, focusing investment strategies, and leveraging strong external partnerships where needed:

Organizations with focused AI investment strategies outperform their peers regardless of maturity level—even lower-maturity companies with a focused approach achieve an 11.4% composite outcome score, versus 9.7% for same-maturity peers investing broadlyCompute and data foundations are the most consequential infrastructure factors; just 19.9% of organizations rate their on-premises compute as excellent—and companies with excellent cloud compute outperform those with adequate ratings by 4.8 percentage points in worker productivity gainsData gaps are pervasive: 64.5% of organizations have at least one of five key data dimensions rated adequate or below; organizations with strong data foundations report nearly 27% higher productivity gains and are 20%+ less likely to abandon AI initiativesInfrastructure quality has a compounding effect on outcomes—organizations with all 10 infrastructure dimensions rated good or excellent achieve 15.6% average productivity gains; that drops to 14.1% with just one adequate dimension, and to 12.5% when any dimension needs improvementHigh-performing organizations are significantly more likely to work with external partners: 72–76% of focused-strategy companies engage outside expertise, compared to 54–60% of broad-investment peers

By

ANAHEIM, Calif., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RefrigiWear®, the leading manufacturer of insulated PPE and workwear for the global cold chain, announced the new ThermaSync™ Jacket and ThermaSync™ Glove, an integrated heated workwear system designed to keep workers warm, productive and protected even in temperatures down to -15°F.

ThermaSync™ combines heating technology with a completely unique connection to deliver warmth from core to fingertips.

The new products will debut at the ASSP Safety26 Conference & Expo, June 15–17, in Anaheim, California.

Connected Warmth from Core to Fingertips

ThermaSync™ combines battery-powered heating technology with industrial-grade durability and a completely unique connection between the products to deliver synchronized warmth from core to fingertips.

“Cold environments create real challenges for workers, affecting comfort, dexterity, productivity and job performance. Worn together, ThermaSync™ products create a connected system that maintains consistent warmth across the body and hands,” says RefrigiWear CEO Ryan Silberman.

The result is an innovative solution for insulated PPE that helps workers stay safe, comfortable and focused on the job.

ThermaSync™ Jacket

Even before powering up, the ThermaSync™ Jacket is insulated for protection in temperatures down to -15°F. Heating elements across the chest and back, plus high- and low-heat settings, let workers adjust warmth as activity levels or conditions change.

The jacket features durable abrasion-resistant, water-resistant materials, multiple pockets and an adjustable hem to block cold drafts, along with one rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack that provides up to 8 hours of heat per charge.

ThermaSync™ Glove

Also insulated for -15°F temperatures, the ThermaSync™ Glove uses magnetic connectors to draw power from the ThermaSync™ Jacket, delivering extra warmth across the back of the hand and fingers. This unique connector amplifies cold protection to your hands because if your hands are cold, it is hard to focus on anything else.

A waterproof design and grip-enhancing synthetic leather palm support secure material handling. Touchscreen-capable thumb, index and middle fingers let workers use screens without exposing hands to cold temperatures.

Experience ThermaSync™ at Safety26

ASSP Safety26 attendees are invited to visit RefrigiWear Booth #4415 for demonstrations of the ThermaSync™ Jacket and ThermaSync™ Glove.

GateKeeper will showcase its proximity-based passwordless MFA and identity access platform at Identiverse 2026 at Booth #113, highlighting how it helps mission-critical industries secure shared workstations without slowing down frontline workflows. The press release positions GateKeeper as a solution for improving identity assurance, user accountability, audit visibility, and frictionless access across manufacturing, healthcare, law enforcement, and other high-security environments.

LAS VEGAS, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Untethered Labs, Inc., creator of GateKeeper Proximity, today announces that it will showcase GateKeeper Proximity and GateKeeper IDP at Identiverse 2026, taking place June 15–17 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Attendees can visit GateKeeper at Booth #113 for live demonstrations focused on passwordless workstation access, shared workstation accountability, and stronger identity assurance for mission-critical environments.

” At Identiverse, we are showing how GateKeeper extends passwordless MFA and identity assurance to the frontline environments where speed, accountability, and security all have to work together.” Siddharth Pothbare.

GateKeeper is addressing a persistent identity challenge for organizations where shared workstations, fast user switching, operational uptime, and auditability all matter. While many organizations have invested in cloud SSO, MFA, and identity governance, shared endpoint environments remain difficult to secure without adding friction to daily workflows.

Manufacturing floors, healthcare clinics, law enforcement facilities, and other high-throughput operations often require multiple users to access the same endpoint throughout the day. In these environments, long passwords, shared credentials, frequent password resets, and incomplete user traceability can create both security risk and productivity drag. GateKeeper helps organizations reduce reliance on passwords while tying workstation access events back to the individual user.

GateKeeper combines proximity-based authentication with centralized access management and identity provider capabilities. Users can authenticate with a GateKeeper token, supported NFC/RFID badge, or mobile credential, helping organizations enforce consistent MFA while maintaining a fast and familiar user experience. The result is stronger identity assurance from the workstation to applications, without forcing frontline teams into slower or more disruptive login processes.

“Identity programs have made major progress in the cloud, but shared workstations remain one of the hardest environments to secure without disrupting operations,” said Siddharth Pothbare, CEO at Untethered Labs. “At Identiverse, we are showing how GateKeeper extends passwordless MFA and identity assurance to the frontline environments where speed, accountability, and security all have to work together.”

At Booth #113, GateKeeper will demonstrate how organizations can:

Replace shared passwords with token, badge, or mobile-based passwordless authentication.Tie workstation access events to individual users, even in shared workstation environments.Enforce phone-free MFA consistently across mission-critical endpoints and applications.Improve workflow speed for operators, clinicians, officers, and frontline staff.Generate clean audit logs that support compliance, investigations, and access reviews.Extend identity assurance from workstation login to downstream application access through GateKeeper IDP capabilities.

GateKeeper’s approach has already helped mission-critical organizations reduce login friction while improving security and accountability. In one customer deployment, Major Tool & Machine reported significant time savings compared to conventional authentication methods.

“While conventional two-factor authentication methods could have cost the company over 240 hours of login time for 14,000 logins in one month, GateKeeper took only 20 hours of time to log in. GateKeeper made the computers secure, and cost 90% less in time as compared to any other authentication method.” — Tom Riddle, Network Administrator, Major Tool & Machine
