"Our collaboration with Kyndryl sets the stage for Viewpointe to launch our next generation of managed content services solutions into the market with the same level of security, compliance, and reliability that our industry leading financial institutions rely upon us to deliver every day."

Additionally, Viewpointe and Kyndryl will co-develop best practices for transforming and managing Viewpointe's solutions on Microsoft Azure. Kyndryl will also provide ongoing resources and expertise to optimize Viewpointe's internal IT operations in the cloud. Central to this work is the deployment of Kyndryl's Cloud Advisory and Implementation team, who provided consulting services to seamlessly accelerate Viewpointe's cloud transformation.

Today's announcement builds on Kyndryl's longstanding commitment to helping Viewpointe transform and stay competitive in an increasingly digital global economy.

"Businesses today are in a race to digitally transform to keep pace with changing market demands. Our collaboration with Viewpointe is an example of how we are leveraging our deep understanding and insight of the financial services market and coupling that with our new freedom of action to deliver meaningful transformation for our customers," said Matt Milton, President of Kyndryl U.S. "By embracing a hybrid cloud strategy with Kyndryl and adopting Microsoft Azure, Viewpointe can now innovate more quickly and gain operational flexibility to propel its business forward for years to come."

"Partnering with Kyndryl to move to the Microsoft Cloud will provide Viewpointe with the ability to rapidly and easily scale its content services, expand the offerings it provides to financial institutions, and drive further security," said Takuya Hirano, Vice President of Global System Integrators and Advisory Partners at Microsoft. "This is exactly the kind of work the Kyndryl and Microsoft partnership was built to deliver -- innovation and transformation at scale to help companies fuel progress."
