Technology services consultantcy Kyndryl has introduced a twist on the SaaS model of software delivery with new Agentic Modernization services-as-software, delivering services through software-driven automation and intelligence.

Kyndryl has created pre-built agentic workflows that orchestrate autonomous AI agents that help accelerate modernization across what the company calls the modernization life cycle — discovery, code analysis, dependency mapping, target-state design, code generation, testing and validation.  The Agentic Modernization services were built using Kyndryl’s Agentic AI Framework and scaled through Kyndryl Bridge, the company wrote in its announcement.  The bridge serves as the technology foundation that manages AI with cost visibility, security, and regulatory requirements, Kyndryl noted.

The services-as-software approach helps organizations use new models and tools as they become available, so users aren’t locked into any one tech stack. And Kyndryl’s expertise remains at the fore, with humans providing oversight and accountability. WIth its many years of experience modernizing systems, Kyndryl’s workflows support infrastructure and application modernization, as well as business transformation initiatives that span mainframes, public and private cloud, network infrastructure, software development and IT operations, the company said.

As organizations adopt AI-powered workflows, Kyndryl Bridge serves as the robust enterprise-grade technology foundation, for deploying and managing mission-critical AI across hybrid IT estates, with well-established controls for cost visibility, security and regulatory requirements. Kyndryl Bridge also provides agentic memory management for customers, helping them preserve and evolve critical institutional knowledge and operational context to support continuous modernization.

“Modernization is becoming an operating discipline rather than a series of labor-intensive transformation programs that are difficult to scale and disruption-prone,” said Ismail Amla, Senior Vice President, Kyndryl Consult. “As technology innovation accelerates exponentially, organizations need to move toward continuous modernization so they can adapt faster to changing business needs. With Agentic Modernization services-as-software, customers can transform iteratively and seamlessly using proven agentic workflows designed to handle changing business priorities and built on Kyndryl’s deep mission-critical expertise and industrialized through Kyndryl Bridge, enabling faster execution and more predictable outcomes.”
