Kyndryl, a provider of enterprise technology services, has announced the launch of the SAP Transformations Centre of Excellence (CoE). The CoE is a dedicated hub where customers can work with Kyndryl's designers and engineers to explore the application of AI in SAP transformations.

Within the CoE, customers can collaborate with experts to design, develop, and deliver SAP solutions at scale.

Key elements of the initiative include:

  • Clean Field approach: Using Nova Intelligence AI agents and Kyndryl's Data Transformation Suite to accelerate transformations from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA. This method aims to reduce technical debt and support quicker, more cost-effective SAP modernisations while enabling scalable business capabilities.
  • Clean Core: In collaboration with Nova Intelligence, Kyndryl provides an AI- and data-driven approach for customers on SAP S/4HANA, supporting the modernisation of custom code while adopting new capabilities.
  • SAP Business Data Cloud: Leveraging SAP BDC to unify enterprise data and integrate with Databricks for AI training. This provides a foundation for scalable and responsible AI implementation with measurable business impact.
  • Journey to RISE with SAP: An expanded partnership delivering SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition services, assisting organisations in accelerating cloud migrations and modernising SAP environments to support AI at scale.
Kyndryl has applied these approaches in practice. For example, the company supported an Austrian industrial food company in transitioning from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA using the Clean Field approach. In collaboration with Nova Intelligence, Kyndryl deployed AI agents to accelerate the move to SAP S/4HANA and achieve full Clean Core compliance. This reduced project duration and labour while establishing a platform designed for future adaptability.

Using the Agentic AI Framework, Kyndryl integrates AI solutions into customers’ SAP platforms, enabling adoption at scale and supporting business outcomes.
The SAP CoE builds on Kyndryl’s long-standing partnership with SAP and its status as a global delivery partner for the RISE with SAP programme.
