As an Oracle partner, Kyndryl said it will place a focus on several key areas, which include resiliency and disaster recovery options, network and edge computing capabilities, data analytics services, as well as advanced database consolidation and migration of on-premises ERP software to OCI.
“Enterprises are feeling intense pressure to modernise their businesses rapidly while maintaining the continuity of mission-critical operations,” said Doug Smith, senior vice president of Strategic Partnerships at Oracle. “The combination of Kyndryl’s expertise and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure empowers these organisations to realise their desired business outcomes from the latest technological innovations.
