This agreement strengthens the synergies between two major technology players and aims to accelerate the adoption of generative AI and advanced data processing in large enterprises. For Kyndryl, this partnership illustrates a strategic shift towards higher value-added offerings, while Databricks consolidates its position as the leading platform for large-scale data modernization. As part of this alliance, Kyndryl will integrate the capabilities of Databricks' Data Intelligence platform into its consulting, implementation, and management services. The goal will be to enable large enterprises to more quickly structure, secure, and exploit their often dispersed or underutilized data volumes. Thanks to its in-depth knowledge of complex IT environments, Kyndryl will be able to facilitate the adoption of Databricks technologies in the most demanding sectors, such as banking, manufacturing, transportation, and telecoms.
Kyndryl is therefore continuing its strategy of targeted partnerships with cloud and data giants—following those established with Microsoft, Google Cloud, and SAP. For Databricks, this partnership allows it to increase its footprint in large-scale transformation projects, by relying on a player capable of delivering and operating its solutions in complex, often hybrid or multi-cloud infrastructures. Databricks, which raised more than $10 billion last January, with a valuation of more than $62 billion , is among the best employers in the world , according to Glassdoor.
