Cognizant Technology Solutions announced that fourth quarter profit rose 39 per cent, even as revenues in 2007 surpassed the $2 billion mark in line with its guidance for the last year.
The computer services provider registered a net profit of $96.3 million for the October-December 2007 period, against $69.5 million in the corresponding period of the previous year, driven by robust operating margins (non-GAAP) growth of 20.3 per cent.
