About this update from Kyndryl Holdings, Inc.

Expanded collaboration enables customers to adopt and scale agentic AI as they modernize and run mission‑critical workloads on AWSNEW YORK, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyndryl (NYSE: KD), a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, today announced the expansion of its multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help customers adopt, deploy and scale agentic AI as they modernize and operate mission-critical workloads on AWS.Under the expanded SCA, 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 specialization and industry-focused modernization capabilities to accelerate agentic AI-powered innovation, modernization and business transformation."Many organizations 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 modernization without adding risk or complexity.""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 organizations a practical path to automate operations, modernize workloads, and spend less time on routine operations and more time on innovation."According to the Kyndryl Readiness Report, customer investments in AI are growing – more than 68% are investing heavily – but most aren't realizing the anticipated benefits or operational efficiencies. Kyndryl and AWS plan to help organizations address this challenge by co-developing new industry-specific agentic AI modernization blueprints, offerings and advanced delivery capabilities that will enable customers to rapidly adopt AI-powered solutions while maximizing the value, speed and resiliency of their existing AWS Cloud investments.Kynd...
