“With over 500 dedicated Kyndryl professionals, our SAP Center of Excellence combines our deep SAP expertise and the power of the Kyndryl Agentic AI Framework to speed customers’ transformations. Our experts are guiding customers in applying AI to break through SAP modernization barriers, accelerate transformation and build resilient digital foundations that position them for long-term growth,” said Michael Bradshaw, Global Practice Leader for Applications, Data and AI at Kyndryl.

Through the CoE, customers will collaborate closely with Kyndryl specialists to design, develop, and deploy SAP solutions at scale using several focused modernization pathways. One key approach is the Clean Field strategy, where Kyndryl leverages Nova Intelligence AI agents along with its proprietary Data Transformation Suite. This method simplifies SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA migrations, minimizes technical debt, and enables faster, more cost-effective transformations while maintaining a clean core architecture.

In addition, Kyndryl is supporting organizations already on SAP S/4HANA through a Clean Core modernization journey. By working with Nova Intelligence, Kyndryl applies agentic AI and data-driven insights to help customers modernize custom code more efficiently, making it easier to adopt new SAP capabilities without disrupting operations.

The CoE also incorporates SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) to unify enterprise data, integrate with Databricks for AI model training, and establish a trusted data foundation. As a result, organizations can deploy scalable and responsible AI solutions that drive measurable business outcomes. Furthermore, Kyndryl has expanded its partnership with SAP to strengthen the Journey to RISE with SAP, delivering SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition services that accelerate cloud migration and support enterprise-wide AI adoption.

Kyndryl has already demonstrated the impact of this approach by supporting a leading Austrian industrial food company in its transition from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA. By applying the Clean Field methodology and deploying AI agents through its collaboration with Nova Intelligence, Kyndryl significantly reduced project timelines and labor requirements while enabling the company to achieve 100% Clean Core compliance.

Overall, the SAP Transformations CoE reinforces Kyndryl’s longstanding strategic partnership with SAP and builds on its recognition as a global RISE with SAP delivery partner, positioning customers to modernize faster and innovate with confidence in an AI-driven future.
