Alpina’ s modernization reflects a strategic decision to maintain competitiveness in a rapidly changing market. Facing increasing pressure to improve efficiency, traceability and resilience, the company is investing in technology that strengthens employee capabilities while improving operational performance.

As part of this strategy, the RISE with SAP migration will run on AWS, Alpina’ s chosen hyperscale cloud platform. The project will expand industry-specific capabilities, improve the user experience and create a modern, scalable SAP ecosystem designed to support innovation.

Building on a long-standing relationship and leveraging Kyndryl’ s designation as a RISE with SAP implementation partner, the company will support Alpina’ s migration to SAP Cloud ERP Private on Amazon Web Services( AWS). Kyndryl will also enable a data factory and deploy Kyndryl Bridge, its AI-powered open integration platform, with consulting and implementation support from Kyndryl Consult.

“ At Alpina, we are preparing the company to respond to what the market already demands: greater flexibility, speed and the ability to anticipate,” said Nicolás Forero, Vice President of Transformation and Technology, Alpina Colombia.“ We are convinced that the combination of cutting-edge technology, access to global innovation through the cloud and the expertise of our people will transform the way we operate. This agreement with Kyndryl is a key milestone in modernizing our IT infrastructure while ensuring business continuity.”

Gerardo Osio, Managing Director, Kyndryl Colombia, said:“ We are proud to enable Alpina’ s Digital Transformation by leveraging our consulting services and deep applications expertise to support the company’ s RISE with SAP journey. This initiative will strengthen Alpina’ s technology platform and enable new digital capabilities that drive greater agility, efficiency and resilience across its operations.”

Food and consumer goods companies are accelerating modernization to improve transparency, traceability and resilience, yet many continue to face technology and risk management challenges. According to the Kyndryl Readiness Report 2025, only 30 % of business leaders feel prepared to manage technology risks, while 70 % of CEOs say their cloud environments

The agreement also includes the operation of Alpina’ s hybrid infrastructure, covering both SAP and non-SAP on-premises environments, alongside the deployment of a data factory to support analytics and artificial intelligence initiatives. Kyndryl Bridge will enhance observability, automation and proactive systems management, improving technology availability and operational efficiency.

Alpina has relied on Kyndryl to manage and operate its technology environment for more than a decade. Through this latest agreement, the companies will continue working together to advance innovation, modernize critical business processes, improve operational efficiency and support faster, data-driven decision-making across the organization. The collaboration is expected to provide a stronger foundation for future business growth, enabling Alpina to respond more quickly to changing customer demands, accelerate innovation initiatives, simplify technology management and strengthen resilience across its manufacturing, supply chain and corporate operations in the years ahead. • www. intelligentcio. com
