Kyndryl and AWS expand partnership to scale agentic AI
Kyndryl and AWS have expanded their multi-year strategic collaboration agreement to help enterprises adopt, deploy and scale agentic AI. The deal will offer clients enhanced capabilities to support migration and modernisation of mission-critical workloads on AWS.
As a fast-growing subsidiary of internet giant Amazon, Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis. The platform enables clients to grow businesses through alignment with its sales, marketing, funding, capture, and proposal teams – supported by a thriving ecosystem of partners and favoured suppliers across the professional services sector.
Kyndryl is a leading provider of enterprise technology services offering advisory, implementation and managed services to thousands of customers in more than 60 countries. As one of the world’s largest IT infrastructure services providers, it designs, builds, and manages information systems for its clients every day
Under its expanded strategic collaboration agreement, Kyndryl and AWS have committed to growing and strengthening Kyndryl’s global AWS business and technical team that currently includes more than 11,000 AWS-certified professionals. Specifically, AWS is investing in Kyndryl’s talent development, joint solution engineering, AI specialisation, and industry-focused modernisation capabilities to accelerate agentic AI-powered innovation, modernisation, and business transformation.
“Many organisations are focused on adopting agentic AI, but they are stuck in the experimentation phase instead of applying it in a way that actually makes a difference for their business,” said Giovanni Carraro, global strategic alliances leader at Kyndryl. “Our expanded work with AWS is about supporting customers as they seek to unlock and use agentic AI in practical ways to manage systems more effectively, reduce manual effort, and support modernisation without adding risk or complexity.”
According to the Kyndryl Readiness Report, customer investments in AI are growing – more than 6a8% are investing heavily – but most aren’t realising the anticipated benefits or operational efficiencies. Kyndryl and AWS plan to help organisations address this challenge by co-developing new industry-specific agentic AI modernisation blueprints, offerings and advanced delivery capabilities that will enable customers to rapidly adopt AI-powered solutions while maximising the value, speed and resiliency of their existing AWS Cloud investments.
“Customers want to put agentic AI to work transforming their businesses, but moving from experimentation to production requires deep operational expertise," said Julia Chen, vice president, partner core, AWS. "This expanded collaboration with Kyndryl gives organisations a practical path to automate operations, modernise workloads, and spend less time on routine operations and more time on innovation.”
