Led by the expertise and guidance of Kyndryl Consult, the comprehensive new service portfolio offers customers five paths to mainframe modernization with Microsoft Azure, tailored to their specific needs and strategy and allowing a focus on the 'right workload on the right platform' approach that is most essential to achieving their critical business outcomes:
- Systems integration – Kyndryl Consult provides integration services that enable customers to create new cloud-native applications using the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure and to re-platform other applications in parallel. Kyndryl extends Microsoft Azure DevSecOps pipelines to the mainframe, incorporating both cloud and mainframe applications in the agile development process. This allows for automated testing and code scanning for both source and target, driving consistency across the mainframe and Azure platforms.
- Data governance - By synchronizing mainframe data using Azure SQL Managed Instance and mainframe-based replication software, customers can immediately implement and enforce data governance practices with Azure Purview across cloud and mainframe estates. This capability works to maintain access to sensitive data throughout the transformation journey.
- Application modernization – Kyndryl's approach to application development enables customers to innovate rapidly by incorporating Azure cloud-native architectures, microservices, DevOps support and built-in monitoring to modernize the mainframe application portfolio.
- AI deployment – Kyndryl has extensive AI expertise to help customers unlock value from mainframe data and drive innovation with Microsoft Fabric. By incorporating cloud-based contextualized data with a real-time copy of mainframe data, customers can take advantage of cloud-based analytics, Microsoft Copilot and Power BI to provide insights, visualizations and graphical dashboards without impacting mainframe utilization.
- Security – Kyndryl's security capabilities integrate Microsoft Sentinel and authentication and policy frameworks with the mainframe, enabling a single auditable control plane across the hybrid estate. Establishing a day-one zero-trust security posture helps customers comply with their regulatory compliance requirements.
