Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. (NASD: CTSH), an information technology, consulting, and business process outsourcing services provider, reported third-quarter revenue rose 21.9 percent year over year to $2.31 billion from $1.89 billion in the third quarter of last year. Revenue in North America, which comprises 77.3 percent of the company’s total revenue, rose 18.5 percent year over year to $1.78 billion.

“Our performance during the quarter was stronger than anticipated due to a faster ramp up in demand for outsourcing services and strong discretionary spend on consulting and technology services,” said President Gordon Coburn.
