Expanding on a trusted partnership since 2017, Kyndryl will migrate Barito Renewables’ on-premises IT workloads to Microsoft Azure Cloud to foster cloud innovation and enhance customer service with clean energy. This transition to the cloud will not only reduce operational costs but also enhance agility and scalability, enabling the geothermal unit of Barito Renewables to respond swiftly to changing business needs while powering its cloud environment up or down to accommodate technological advancements, market dynamics, and the evolving cyber regulations.
 
Kyndryl is also actively engaged in Barito Renewables’ geothermal arm’s network modernization initiatives, focusing on refreshing technologies and implementing improvements to enhance network performance.
