Insights
Expanded long-term Dow–Kyndryl engagement targets app modernization using AI and automation to improve agility and cut costs.
The engagement extends a near two‑decade relationship between Kyndryl and Dow and focuses on modernizing infrastructure and applications by applying AI and automation to accelerate development and operations. The business mechanism is straightforward: replace or refactor legacy application management with automated, AI‑enabled operations and managed services to speed delivery and reduce manual effort across Dow's global stack.
Key dependencies and risks include successful technical integration of AI into existing workflows, scope and timeline for refactoring legacy systems, and measurable delivery against the claimed cost savings. The announcement provides a factual claim of "measurable cost savings," but it does not disclose magnitude, milestones, or commercial terms, so execution risk and near‑term financial impact remain unclear.
Watch for concrete milestones and metrics over the next 6–18 months: published performance or cost‑savings figures, scope of applications modernized, and any phased migration timelines reported by Dow or Kyndryl. Those items will determine whether this announcement generates meaningful operational or financial leverage.
"Dow's IT mission is to empower our teams with modern, intelligent solutions that drive productivity and innovation across our global operations," said Chris Koniecny, Enterprise Applications & Technology IT Director at Dow. "By partnering with Kyndryl to modernize our application landscape and infuse AI and automation, we are taking a bold step forward in our digital transformation journey. This collaboration has also delivered measurable cost savings for Dow. Kyndryl's expertise in providing end-to-end modernization and applications services across the enterprise and commitment make them the ideal choice for this next phase."
"We are proud to expand our collaboration with Dow," said Gretchen Tinnerman, Managing Partner at Kyndryl. "By applying our advanced capabilities in application management, AI and automation, we are helping Dow drive enterprise-wide innovation, enhance efficiency and support its applications in becoming modern, resilient and future-ready."
Over the two decades, the collaboration has enabled Dow to modernize and enhance operational efficiency across its global operations. Kyndryl also manages and provides Kyndryl Consult services to Dow's IT infrastructure including cloud, network, digital workplace, and security and resiliency services.
