Kyndryl partners with Microsoft to launch the Kyndryl Microsoft Acceleration Hub

Kyndryl, a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, announced the launch of Kyndryl Microsoft Acceleration Hub designed to advance the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and accelerate digital transformation for enterprise customers.

Developed in close collaboration with Microsoft, the new Acceleration Hub leverages Kyndryl Consult services and Kyndryl Vital co-creation and technical expertise to explore and support the deployment of tailored agentic AI solutions using Microsoft Azure AI Foundry and Copilot across the Microsoft stack. The Hub will focus on building industry-specific solutions and capabilities, leveraging agentic AI to serve customers more efficiently and help them unlock new business value.

The Kyndryl Microsoft Acceleration Hub will tap into existing physical and virtual innovation labs globally, including Kyndryl’s new AI Innovation Lab in Liverpool. These locations will serve as collaborative environments for ideation, prototyping, and deployment of AI and digital solutions across industries and regions for customers.

“Customers across Central Eastern Europe and Eastern Mediterranean (CEE&EM) are actively advancing their digital agendas—modernizing core systems and scaling with AI to enhance customer experience. To support this transformation, the Kyndryl Microsoft Acceleration Hub provides a platform that brings together Kyndryl Consult’s industry and domain expertise with Microsoft technologies. This collaboration enables enterprises to harness AI effectively and achieve meaningful business outcomes,” said Stelio Frasco, Kyndryl Consult Leader, Central Eastern Europe and Eastern Mediterranean (CEE&EM).

“Kyndryl’s Microsoft Acceleration Hub is an exciting addition to joint investments to drive more AI transformational engagements with our joint customers. By combining Kyndryl’s deep industry expertise with Microsoft’s trusted cloud and AI capabilities in this new Hub, we will accelerate the time to success for our European customers," said Florian Deter, EMEA Leader, System Integrators & Advisories, Microsoft.

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 lends to our deep and growing expertise across Microsoft technologies — such as Microsoft Azure cloud, data platforms, security, and modern workplace solutions — which strengthens the company’s ability to deliver Microsoft-based services 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.

“Strategic alliances like ours with Microsoft are reshaping how enterprises approach AI. The Acceleration Hub is more than a launch. It’s a signal of what’s possible when trusted technologies and deep expertise come together to help customers scale AI responsibly and deliver meaningful impact,” said Ido Vapner, CTO and Alliances Leader, Kyndryl CEE&EM.

Kyndryl recently achieved the AI Platform on Microsoft Azure specialization and renewed its Azure Expert MSP (Managed Services Partner) designation, which is the highest status a service provider can achieve with Microsoft; less than 2% of Microsoft's partner ecosystem garner this designation.
