Consulting and services provider Kyndryl recently announced the creation of a new, centralized offering for customers who want to leverage the power of AI solutions across their Microsoft tech stacks.
New hub leverages expertise from both companies to deliver agentic AI solutions
The new Acceleration Hub leverages Kyndryl Consult services and Kyndryl Vital co-creation and technical expertise to explore and support the deployment of tailored agentic AI solutions using Microsoft Azure AI Foundry and Copilot across the Microsoft stack.
The Hub will focus on building industry-specific solutions and capabilities, leveraging agentic AI to serve customers more efficiently and help them unlock new business value.
“We are confidently doubling down on our successful collaboration with Microsoft because we know that the combination of Kyndryl Consult expertise with Microsoft technologies is a powerful duo that will help customers reap the benefits of AI, drive innovation, and achieve meaningful business outcomes,” said Ismail Amla, Global Leader, Kyndryl Consult.
Kyndryl stresses the new hub was developed in close collaboration with Microsoft, which said in a statement that the two companies share a commitment to enterprise customers.
“Kyndryl’s Microsoft Acceleration Hub represents the next evolution of our strategic collaboration and a shared commitment to helping enterprise customers unlock the full potential of AI,” said Stephen Boyle, Global Leader, SI & Advisory Partners at Microsoft. “By combining Kyndryl’s deep industry expertise with Microsoft’s trusted cloud and AI capabilities, we’re empowering organisations to accelerate innovation, improve operational efficiency and achieve meaningful transformation at scale.”
Kyndryl continues to expand its AI offerings to meet demand
This is the latest in a series of announcements Kyndrly has made this year as it expands how it brings AI-enabled outcomes to its enterprise customers.
Just last month, it established a global strategic alliance with Databricks to leverage Kyndryl AI services to support customer adoption of the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.
In April, Kyndryl announced AI private cloud service offerings. Kyndryl’s AI Private Cloud environment offers services and capabilities related to containerization, data science tools, and microservices for deploying and managing AI applications on the private cloud.
The string of AI-related announcements all show Kyndryl, like many of its counterparts, is laser-focused on bringing enterprise customers the AI solutions they demand.
“As a customer, we are thrilled about the Kyndryl Microsoft Acceleration Hub’s transformative potential and believe it can help streamline our adoption and application of AI and enable better services for our customers,” said Anders Bjørnrud, CTO of Care Safety Innovations. “The cutting-edge capabilities that Kyndryl and Microsoft are providing will assist with providing smarter and more efficient home care to patients and the caregivers who support them.”
