Sometimes slow and steady wins out. That’s the approach Kyndryl and AWS took in developing their new partnership, the final one in Kyndryl’s public cloud pipeline. Chris Niederman, general manager, AWS global accounts and systems integrators, made this week’s list for outlining the nature of this partnership and the steps it took to get it to fruition.

“We have been in discussions with Kyndryl for quite some time and wanted to take the time to get it right for our customers and Kyndryl versus rushing to bring something to market that isn’t fully fleshed out and [as] impactful for our customers as we believe it can and should be,” Niederman told Channel Futures.
