Singapore – Kyndryl has introduced an integrated agentic modernisation solution with Amazon Web Services (AWS), pairing its Kyndryl Agentic Modernization services-as-software with AWS Transform. The company announced the offering on 5 November.
According to Kyndryl, the combined solution is designed to help organisations assess, plan and execute the modernisation of applications, infrastructure and core systems at scale. It draws on the company’s AI-enabled workflows and engineering expertise.
The announcement follows Kyndryl’s first global modernisation report, which found that nearly 50% of respondents are behind schedule on their modernisation goals.
However, the report also showed that early adopters of agentic AI in production for modernisation fared better. Some 67% of them said they are ahead of or on track with their goals, compared with 51% of other organisations.
Kyndryl describes services-as-software as an emerging model that delivers services through software-driven automation, intelligence and scalable digital workflows. It builds the capability on the Kyndryl Agentic Framework and scales it through Kyndryl Bridge.
The company says the model lets enterprises run complex modernisation programmes in radically compressed timelines and at significantly lower cost by scaling pre-built agentic workflows. Kyndryl adds that this makes specialised skills less of a constraint.
For joint customers, Kyndryl says the solution supports a continuous approach to modernising applications, infrastructure and core systems. It also targets resilient, AI-ready architectures and lower technical debt alongside improved operational efficiency.
Customers also gain access to Kyndryl’s expertise in cloud, security, compliance, FinOps and mission-critical technology operations, the company says. Kyndryl states that governance, resilience and business continuity remain in place throughout.
“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.
“Organizations that can continuously modernize applications, infrastructure and core systems will be better positioned to adopt AI, adapt to change and create long-term value. Together with AWS, we’re helping customers build that capability at scale,” D’Souza added.
Kyndryl is also a launch partner for AWS Transform. The company says it has worked with AWS to help customers move beyond project-based modernisation towards a repeatable approach to continuously evolving their technology environments.
