resilient IT infrastructure
WARSAW, Poland, April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyndryl
(NYSE: KD), the world's largest IT infrastructure services
provider, today announced that Swiss Krono, the Polish subsidiary
of the world's leading manufacturer of wood-based materials, has
engaged Kyndryl in Poland in a
five-year technology services agreement to standardize its IT
infrastructure and migrate its core applications to SAP
S/4HANA® in order to enable faster innovation and increased
focus on new business opportunities.
Since 1966 the Swiss Krono Group, headquartered in Lucerne,
Switzerland, has been growing its
diversified businesses. This has led to an exponential increase in

many years, companies of the Swiss Krono Group have relied on
enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions to boost operational
efficiency. The speed of digitalization however - such as adopting
new digital solutions while keeping up with traditional production
- has led to numerous new applications and new server
installations. Streamlining and integrating production processes
has become essential and a top priority for company's
management.
To gain a unified view of operations, the group is currently
working to implement next-generation business applications
including SAP S/4HANA®. Key success factor for this transformation
is the resilient, flexible, and secure IT infrastructure.
"With Kyndryl's managed IT services we are about to implement an
infrastructure that provides an ideal private cloud platform for
our requirements. This allows us to flexibly combine existing
systems with completely new workloads on a proven and reliable
architecture in order to realize our vision for cross-company
integration of business operations," says Marek Ługowski, Head
of IT-Infrastructure, Swiss Krono, Poland. "With Kyndryl's services we are
able to flexibly scale our SAP systems without complex adjustments
to the configuration."
As a result of this implementation, Swiss Krono's can seamlessly
connect all its plants across the world for consolidation of
applications and IT infrastructure. Swiss Krono has gained tight
integration of planning, manufacturing, and business processes,
that enable new, future-ready business models that can fuel growth
in furniture production.
"After standardizing SAP applications on Kyndryl's managed IT
infrastructure, Swiss Krono has improved and streamlined its
business operations," says Paweł Raczyński, Managing Director,
Kyndryl Poland and Baltics."We are providing a robust IT
infrastructure that meets their current and future expansion plans
and digital transformation needs while delivering a lower total
cost of ownership and higher return on investments."
