Enabling successful modernization with expertise and tools

Application modernization involves upgrading legacy applications using new computer languages, cloud-native architectures and coding practices. At a high level, you can either migrate the application to the cloud without making significant changes to the code or functionality or move the application to the cloud and update the code to be as cloud native as possible. Kyndryl’s consultants and experts can help you make informed decisions and accelerate the modernization process, ensuring predictable outcomes through collaboration.
