Kyndryl became an independent, publicly-traded company on November 4, 2021, and has rapidly expanded into high-growth areas and industries where customers expect innovation. Recent developments in the company include:

Customer signings – Kyndryl has recently announced new and expanded relationships with a number of major customers around the world, including contracts for world-leading technology integration and data storage infrastructure for BMW Group, modernizing Raytheon’s digital technology environment through the hybrid cloud, facilitating the use of best-in-breed cloud platforms at Etihad Airways, and accelerating cloud migration at RSA Insurance, among others.

In addition, the company expanded its collaboration with VMware on app modernization and multicloud services, achieved SAP certification for global cloud and infrastructure operations, announced a global network and edge computing alliance with Nokia to deliver LTE and 5G solutions, and launched a global partnership with Cloudera to help customers drive their mission-critical hybrid cloud, multicloud, and edge computing data initiatives.

Kyndryl also caters to a global customer base that has local needs that are specific to the region in which they do business.
