Cognitum Services SA

Cognitum Services is a Polish software house founded in 2010 by PhD Pawel Kaplanski. Based in Poland, the company works with clients ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 100 corporations across finance, healthcare, government, logistics, industrial, telecom, and education sectors. The firm describes itself as having "science in its DNA"—since founding, it has published 30+ whitepapers, filed 2 patent applications, and built two free tools used by universities including MIT and Sorbonne. Over its 12+ years in operation, Cognitum has built a track record delivering custom web and mobile applications, AI-driven solutions, and team extensions for complex, regulated industries.

Services and capabilities

Cognitum offers five core service lines: web and mobile development, team extension (dedicated teams or staff augmentation), data analytics, quality assurance, and digital transformation. For web and mobile, the company advises on technical approach and delivers UI/UX design; recent projects include a satellite construction workflow application and an Uber-like last-mile delivery platform. Team extension leverages a three-stage technical pre-selection process to place specialists into client teams or form dedicated squads, with 10+ years of experience in enterprise placements.

Data analytics work focuses on Healthcare analytics (patient monitoring, treatment optimization, treatment plan recommendations), Financial analytics (budget planning, risk forecasting), and Industrial analytics (predictive maintenance, anomaly tracking, energy consumption prediction). The service follows a defined process: requirements definition, data collection and storage, building analysis pipelines, and results visualization. QA offerings include full-cycle testing, with the option for on-site teams. Digital transformation engagements span process optimization, new customer acquisition, and UX improvements.

The company works across advanced technologies: Semantic Web, Embedded Systems, Cloud, IoT, Data Science/AI, Computer Vision, and Big Data. Named projects show depth in decision support systems, container code recognition using computer vision and deep learning, and AI-based cybersecurity assessments.

Notable work

DataStax engaged Cognitum for Big Data solutions, including massively parallel storage, distributed database work, and .NET protocols. WeSenseAll tapped the team to build an MVP with state and anomaly prediction using machine learning algorithms. A global construction tools developer has worked with Cognitum continuously since 2011 on computer systems, software development, and QA from prototyping through maintenance. Nokia commissioned a Decision Support Solution in 2017 using AI, management systems, and semantic technologies. Five Senses Education partnered on Learning Management System integration and cloud computing. The Maria Skłodowska-Curie Institute of Oncology collaborated on clinical decision support systems (CDSS) based on Semantic Web standards and a Bone Cancer Registry.

How they work

Cognitum offers three engagement models: fixed-price, time and materials (T&M), and hybrid. Pricing depends on project requirements and is determined after a thorough analysis. The intake process begins with a contact form submission; a sales manager then studies project and technical requirements and develops an initial development or staffing plan. The company does not publish standard rates on its website; custom quotes are provided after project scoping.
