Yes, we have a large cognizant contract right now. My company has hired about 300 cognizant resources both onshore and offshore. The overall strategy seems to be leverage each employee with ~5 contractors. All employees are actually just product managers, PMs and SMEs and management. All dev, QA, dev ops, dba, networking, L1-3 monitoring etc has been outsourced. I also used to work for a well known national retailer who employed a similar strategy. There were only ~40 employees running a project of 400 people, 3 years and $100M. It's a common approach.
