Application Modernization Services

Unlock the value of your digital business by modernizing your applications

What we do

Transform your applications at scale to enable business agility

Legacy applications can significantly strain technology budgets and operations due to high maintenance costs and lack of agility to adapt to evolving business needs. Their complexity, scalability and lack of integration often lead to poor customer experience and operational bottlenecks.

Kyndryl offers expertise, methodologies and tools for secure and scalable transformation of enterprise applications. With experience in complex, mission-critical applications, we can help in modernizing your ERP, non-ERP and mainframe applications, integrating AI, and delivering transformation aligned to your functionality, security and compliance goals.

Our application modernization capabilities

Optimizing the value of your applications

Our end-to-end application services help optimize your business applications across various environments, including public, private, and hybrid clouds. We specialize in modernizing legacy applications using cloud-native architectures, enhancing performance, security, and reducing technical debt. Our expertise extends to leveraging cloud and edge services, transforming your IT operations to improve business operations and gain a competitive edge.

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.
