Case Study: a multibillion-dollar consumer packaged goods manufacturer modernizes legacy billing and distribution with Kyndryl Cloud Uplift

Multibillion-dollar Consumer Packaged Goods manufacturer cuts IT costs by over $1M with Kyndryl

A multibillion-dollar consumer packaged goods manufacturer faced the challenge of moving a critical 30-year-old legacy billing and distribution application to the cloud. Maintaining the on-premises infrastructure was costly and complex, and the system had begun to hit performance limits. The company needed to migrate this IBM AIX application to Microsoft Azure without the risk and expense of re-coding or re-platforming it, and they partnered with Kyndryl to find a solution.

Kyndryl implemented its Kyndryl Cloud Uplift service to seamlessly migrate the legacy application without any modification. The result was a successful go-live over a single weekend with no disruption. This provided the manufacturer with over $1 million in reduced data center costs, improved application performance and uptime, and enhanced disaster recovery. Kyndryl also enabled the company to quickly scale its environment post-merger, easily accommodating new business requirements.
