NEW
YORK, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyndryl
(NYSE: KD), the world's largest IT infrastructure services
provider, today announced it has signed a five-year, $160M agreement with Motiva Enterprises, owner of
North America's largest
refinery, under which Kyndryl will streamline Motiva's IT
services, accelerate its cloud journey, and lay the foundation for
its enterprise-wide digital transformation.
As businesses across the global economy continue to grapple with
the ripple effects of pandemic-induced supply chain disruption,
enterprises within the oil and gas sector are under more pressure
than ever to ensure the smooth delivery of the energy that keeps
commerce physically moving. Business disruption — punctuated by the
tightening of global crude supplies — pose complex operational
challenges that call for advanced, forward-looking solutions.
Motiva is collaborating with Kyndryl to continue to strengthen
its IT services and operational efficiencies by shifting more of
its business into a cloud-based environment. In doing so, the
company is delivering technology efficiency for employees, improved
backend workflows, and high value to its customers in today's
increasingly complex energy market.
Kyndryl and Motiva are operationalizing a hybrid, multi-cloud
environment that will enable Motiva's "cloud first" strategy for
new applications and drive infrastructure modernization for
business-critical workloads. Kyndryl is also leveraging data
analytics and workflow automation to help accelerate Motiva's IT
service management capabilities.
"As supply chain uncertainty continues to create disruptions for
businesses across the globe, Motiva has found it more critical than
ever to transform its IT services, increase IT operational
efficiencies, and enhance digital workplace services," said
Anthony Dayao, Motiva Chief
Information Officer. "Our partnership with Kyndryl is an important
step on the path to better optimize IT operational costs while
advancing our digital transformation strategy."
"As Motiva continues to evolve its business to meet
the needs of today's oil and gas market, we're working hand in hand
to help them propel business growth and gain critical
efficiencies," said Matt Milton,
President of Kyndryl U.S. "By harnessing the combination of
Kyndryl's cloud and digital workplace expertise, Motiva is able to
address its most pressing business objectives while driving forward
its longer-term transformation goals."
