The partnership has so far seen the successful migration of almost half of the company’s workloads to Microsoft Azure without any issues, reducing the number of overall IT incident tickets by using Kyndryl Bridge automation, while Kyndryl delivery teams have kept current systems running without any outages for the prior three years.

“We value our relationship with Bord Gáis Energy, and I’m delighted we’re renewing our partnership for another three years,” said Chris Davis, managing director, Kyndryl Ireland. “We are already exploring new domains in the data and AI field for the future, we’ve showcased our global alliance with Microsoft and the efforts we put into developing skills and expertise in a key focus area for the company. The forthcoming migrations to Azure and SaaS [storage-as-a-service] give Kyndryl the opportunity to offer application managed and rationalisation services for Bord Gáis Energy’s critical production workloads.”
