At Kyndryl, our strength lies in co-creating with our customers — bringing together deep domain expertise, human-centred design (through Vital workshops), and leading-edge technologies to build resilient, intelligent platforms that truly evolve our customers’ capabilities and deliver lasting impact. In partnership with AWS and local universities and tertiary education providers across Australia and New Zealand, we can help transform the student experience. By co-creating solutions, leveraging their deep understanding of student needs, and combining that with Amazon Web Services (AWS)’s AI and CX technologies, we can design smarter, more personalised, and more effective student support systems. Let’s reimagine what’s possible. Together. This case study shows the art of the possible: UCLA Anderson, Kyndryl and #AWS co-created an AI-powered student assistant platform that centralised disparate student data, ensured data governance and security, and delivered simple, intelligent guidance via ML and GenAI. It’s a great example of how collaboration, innovation, and the right technology can unlock new possibilities for the future of education.
