MILAN, February 26, 2026 - Kyndryl (NYSE: KD), a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise technology services, today announced the successful completion of IT modernization and cloud migration for Alpitour World, one of the most important European players in the tourism industry, moving the company's core mainframe workloads to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform. The milestone represents the culmination of a cloud transformation journey that began in 2023 and builds on the long-standing collaboration between Alpitour World and Kyndryl.
"The evolution of our core IT is a key step in supporting the growth of the Group's ambitions and continuing to innovate our business model," said Francesco Ciuccarelli, Chief Innovation and Technology Officer, Alpitour World.
