#8: IBM’s Kyndryl

What’s in a name? Quite a bit to Channel Futures readers, apparently.

In April, IBM assigned a name to its spinoff managed infastructure services business, dubbing it “Kyndryl.” This came six months after saying the company would be “a leader in management and modernization of IT infrastructure.”

“Kyndryl evokes the spirit of true partnership and growth,” said Kynrdyl CEO Martin Schroeter. “Customers around the world will come to know Kyndryl as a brand that runs the vital systems at the heart of progress, and an independent company with the best global talent in the industry.”
