Kyndryl and Microsoft Launch AI‑Driven 'Acceleration Hub'
Kyndryl, in collaboration with Microsoft, launched the Kyndryl Microsoft Acceleration Hub earlier this month, a joint initiative to help enterprises adopt agentic AI systems by leveraging Azure AI Foundry and Copilot.
The hub integrates Kyndryl Consult's domain expertise and Kyndryl Vital's co‑creation framework, delivering tailored AI solutions through physical and virtual innovation centers, including a new AI Innovation Lab in Liverpool.
The initiative is underpinned by a large‑scale workforce certification effort: More than 16,000 Kyndryl employees have acquired over 26,000 Microsoft credentials spanning Azure, data platforms, security and modern workplace technologies.
This launch marks the latest phase in Kyndryl and Microsoft's strategic alliance, which dates back to 2021, following earlier joint efforts like application modernization services and adaptive cloud services.
