By combining NTT DATA’s technology and industry expertise and client base of large enterprises with Google Cloud’s best-in-class data analytics, AI and cloud capabilities, the partnership will empower enterprises to spearhead innovation, enhance operational efficiency and agility and propel their business. 

 

With co-innovation at the core of this partnership, NTT DATA and Google Cloud aim to develop cloud-based data and AI solutions tailored to industry-specific needs. By using NTT DATA’s existing industry blueprints, best practices and cloud solutions on Google Cloud, the partnership will deliver customized solutions and implementation expertise to businesses in healthcare, life sciences, financial services, insurance, manufacturing, retail and public sector.

Karan Bajwa, Vice President, Google Cloud, APAC, commented, "Customer confidence is paramount to deliver on their digital transformation aspirations, and NTT DATA’s comprehensive portfolio, coupled with a deep understanding of evolving customer needs across Asia Pacific, perfectly complements Google Cloud's AI leadership and innovative solutions. Together, we're not just providing technology, we're building trust and delivering exceptional outcomes for customers as they accelerate their digital transformation journeys."

The extended partnership establishes a dedicated NTT DATA Google Cloud Business Unit, aimed at developing joint solutions in data analytics, generative AI, and enhanced application support on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This collaboration will enhance NTT DATA's expertise in Google Cloud technologies through advanced training and certification programs. Furthermore, NTT DATA plans to hire and upskill professionals across sales and delivery teams, enabling them to effectively sell, build, secure, migrate, and deliver joint solutions for customers.

Charlie Li, Senior Executive Vice President, Global Head of Cloud and Security Services, NTT DATA, Inc. said, “Our expanded partnership with Google Cloud is a significant step forward in delivering innovative solutions that address the industry-specific challenges our customers are facing.
