Kyndryl partners with AWS on agentic modernization solution

Kyndryl and Amazon Web Services have described a joint agentic modernization solution that combines Kyndryl services with AWS Transform. The companies position the offering as a way for customers to modernize applications, reduce transformation risk and establish technology foundations ready for AI.

Kyndryl's first global modernization report found that nearly 50% of respondents are behind schedule on their modernization goals. Organizations that had deployed agentic AI in production for modernization reported stronger results, with 67% saying they are ahead of or on track with those goals, compared with 51% of other organizations.

The solution brings together Kyndryl's services-as-software capability, AI-enabled workflows and engineering expertise with AWS Transform. Together these help organizations assess, plan and carry out modernization initiatives at scale across applications, infrastructure and core systems. Kyndryl describes services-as-software as software-driven automation, intelligence and scalable digital workflows, built on the Kyndryl Agentic Framework and scaled through Kyndryl Bridge.

Joint customers can accelerate projects through a continuous modernization approach, build resilient and AI-ready architectures, and reduce technical debt while improving operational efficiency. Kyndryl expertise spans cloud, security, compliance, FinOps and mission-critical technology operations. As a launch partner for AWS Transform, Kyndryl has worked with AWS to move customers beyond project-based modernization toward a repeatable approach for continuously evolving technology environments.

“Many organizations are still treating modernization as a destination when it should be a continuous business capability,” said Shawn D'Souza, Global Modernization Leader, Kyndryl.

Forward-looking statements in the release are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ materially from those suggested.
