Case Study: Broadridge Financial Solutions achieves 20–30% faster processing and rapid, zero‑downtime migration with Kyndryl private IBM iSeries cloud

Delivering scalability and flexibility with private cloud technology

Broadridge Financial Solutions, a global provider of investor communications and technology-driven services, needed to modernize its mission‑critical Fixed Income Platform for greater scalability, reliability and global reach without any downtime. Broadridge partnered with Kyndryl to move core processes into a private cloud, using a dedicated private instance of IBM iSeries cloud technology (and Red Hat Enterprise Linux for OS portability and security) to meet strict performance and availability requirements.

Kyndryl built and validated a flexible, security-rich private cloud—recreating production loads in a benchmark center, then migrating systems over seven weekends with zero customer impact. The Kyndryl solution delivered measurable gains: overnight batch processing is 20–30% faster, the migration completed about 80% faster (7 weekends versus an expected 9–12 months), and Broadridge gained on‑demand scalability to accelerate customer onboarding and global growth.
