Legal & General (L&G) has signed a seven-year agreement with IT infrastructure services provider Kyndryl to lead its digital transformation process.

L&G said the partnership will enable it to reduce its technical debt, simplify its architecture and migrate its date centre to a multi-cloud environment. The company claimed that the new processes would reduce its carbon footprint.

The agreement builds on an existing partnership between the companies which has been in place since 2010.

As part of the process, Kyndryl will implement a hybrid cloud platform to mitigate latency constraints and provide a building block for more public cloud migration.

“We see this as a strategic opportunity for Kyndryl and L&G to build on our partnership, leveraging Kyndryl’s deep expertise and experience in providing secure, compliant and resilient compute, mainframe and cloud transformation services, alongside their knowledge of Legal & General,” said Mark Hall, group chief technology officer at L&G. “Kyndryl has taken a strong one-team ethos to the program, underpinned by transparency and a great affinity to L&G’s unique culture and purpose.”
