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.

"As a customer, we are thrilled about the Kyndryl Microsoft Acceleration Hub's transformative potential and believe it can help streamline our adoption and application of AI and enable better services for our customers," said Anders Bjørnrud, CTO of Care Safety Innovations. "The cutting-edge capabilities that Kyndryl and Microsoft are providing will assist with providing smarter and more efficient home care to patients and the caregivers who support them."
