Kyndryl Expands Partnership to bring Google Gemini for Generative AI Solutions

Kyndryl, the leading provider of IT infrastructure services globally, today announced an  expanded collaboration with Google Cloud aimed at developing responsible generative AI solutions and accelerating adoption by customers.

Since 2021, Kyndryl and Google Cloud have collaborated to facilitate the transformation of global enterprises through the utilization of Google Cloud's sophisticated AI capabilities and reliable infrastructure. The upcoming stage of this partnership will concentrate on integrating Google Cloud's internal AI technologies, such as Gemini, its most powerful large language model (LLM), with Kyndryl's proficiency and managed services to create and implement generative AI solutions for clients. 

Kyndryl's advisory and implementation services will help clients identify optimal generative AI use cases and data foundations, leveraging their expertise in Google Cloud technology for business transformation. Kyndryl also  plans to offer its new LLMOps Framework to Google Cloud customers, facilitating responsible and cost-effective solutions for common challenges in generative AI adoption.

Kyndryl intends to utilise the Google Cloud Cortex Framework to enhance the business value derived from customers' Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) data on Google Cloud, aiming to enhance productivity, foster innovation, and offer improved business insights, ultimately driving new outcomes for customers.

“Given Kyndryl’s data services expertise, along with our more than 30 years of experience managing large enterprise environments, Kyndryl understands the complexities in moving a generative AI solution from an idea into production. By combining this unique perspective and the Kyndryl Responsible AI Principles with Google’s AI history and in-house generative AI capabilities, we can quickly and responsibly bring this new generation of AI to customers and drive their business value,” said Nicolas Sekkaki, Kyndryl’s Global Applications, Data and AI Practice Leader. 

In an earlier exclusive interview with AIM, Naveen Kamat, Vice President & CTO of Data and AI Services at Kyndryl, spoke about how the company is charting its course in IT and AI. “Apart from our skills, experience and resources, we also have been investing into our partner ecosystem, which includes Microsoft, and AWS, apart from data platforms like CloudEra and Databricks. We bring in additional differentiation when we work with clients with our IP, assets and accelerators.”
