Kyndryl will combine its mission-critical advisory, implementation and managed services with Solvinity's private and hybrid sovereign cloud offerings to broaden services for sensitive, compliance-heavy workloads. The transaction directly targets customers needing stronger security, cloud platform services and AI enablement while preserving national and international certifications.
