NEW DELHI: Digital video solutions vendor, itaas, is being acquired by Cognizant, though no details of the financial terms involved have been disclosed.
The Atlanta, Georgia-based itaas assists television providers and broadcasters, particularly cable channels, to deliver live streaming and video services on digital platforms.
