Kyndryl’s solutions support an open architecture and a growing partner ecosystem, enabling companies to select the platforms and technologies that best suit their security, compliance, and performance requirements.
In addition, Kyndryl frames up its services using reference architectures, blueprints, and best practices as opposed to building solutions that are tied to specific products or platforms, further enabling flexibility and customization.
Kyndryl’s end-to-end data and AI services are delivered with automated workflows and built-in intelligence, and the entire portfolio is structured to be composable. As a result, organizations can contract only for what they need and scale out accordingly as opposed to committing wholesale to a full range of services and technology platforms. The full range of services are architected for end-to-end data and AI transformation, including a variety of approaches to solve specific requirements, whether that involves standard visualization using BI reporting tools or advanced analytics and machine learning solutions.
Kyndryl also manages a portfolio of intellectual property to give its data fabric, reference architectures, and technology solutions a competitive edge. For example, the Augmented Data and Analytics Console—powered by a robust partner ecosystem, supported by open-source technologies, and unique in the data and AI space—is proprietary technology that provides a unified view across the data estate and full data lifecycle. Using the console, stakeholders gain a unified view of their data estate, encompassing governance, observability, quality, compliance, and security, all the way through consumption and driving insights.
“The IT organization spends too much time figuring what data sources exists, how to access data, putting the right controls in place, and second-guessing data quality and lineage,” Kamat says. “This is how you can manage data pipelines in a way that minimizes incidents and down time, and ensures the highest level of data quality.”
In addition to the Augmented Data and Analytics Console, Kyndryl offers an array of other advanced technology differentiators, including composite AI, graph-based solutions, natural language processing (NLP), and synthetic data generation, used to create the right purpose-fit data when none is available, depending on the specific use case.
Data-driven business, fueled by AI and other advanced technologies, will be the hallmark of today’s innovators and tomorrow’s market-leading competitors. Yet without a well-architected roadmap for modernizing the data estate, companies may find themselves veering off-track and missing opportunities to leverage the full value of their data.
With a seasoned partner to help guide them, IT and business leaders can better navigate the twists and turns of data modernization to create competitive edge.
