Kyndryl’s Copilot for Microsoft 365 services are ready for customization to support the AI plans and specific needs of individual customers. Kyndryl Consult experts provide a range of advisory, implementation and managed services — from co-creation and transformation to strategic consulting and ongoing IT support service.
