Kyndryl
will deliver scalable, innovative AI solutions across the Microsoft technology
stack through its substantial commitment to skilling its workforce. To date,
more than 16,000 Kyndryls have earned over 26,000 Microsoft certifications, which

Microsoft Azure cloud, data platforms, security and modern workplace solutions

to enterprise clients. Kyndryl is also embedding agentic AI into its global
infrastructure services and delivery capabilities to help customers fully
leverage the Microsoft stack and act with autonomy, goals and decision-making
in mind.

Kyndryl and Microsoft are providing will assist with providing smarter and more
efficient home care to patients and the caregivers who support them.”

highest status a service provider can achieve with Microsoft; less than 2% of
Microsoft’s partner ecosystem garner this designation.
