NTT DATA has announced a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) aimed at helping Asia-Pacific enterprises transition from AI experimentation to impactful, large-scale implementation. This partnership seeks to modernise legacy systems and drive innovation across various industries by leveraging NTT DATA’s expertise in cloud transformation and AWS’s global cloud capabilities.
The collaboration focuses on four key areas: AI-driven cloud transformation, industry-specific cloud solutions, AI and data innovation, and digital sovereignty. By modernising mission-critical workloads and building secure cloud foundations, the initiative aims to deliver measurable business outcomes across regulated and high-growth sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing.
A dedicated AWS Business Group has been formed by NTT DATA, comprising nearly 11,000 AWS-certified experts, with plans to certify an additional 10,000 experts over the next three years. This group will support enterprises in adopting AI-driven cloud solutions more efficiently.
The partnership has already demonstrated success with Honda Trading Asia, which migrated to AWS with NTT DATA’s assistance. “Migrating to the AWS Cloud with the expert support of NTT DATA has been an essential step in modernising our systems and infrastructure,” said Somya Mayuraskoon, Director at Honda Trading Asia.
This collaboration underscores NTT DATA’s commitment to delivering secure, industry-specific solutions that create tangible business value. As Greg Pearson, VP of AWS Global Sales, noted, the initiative will help enterprises unlock the potential of cloud and AI to modernise operations and accelerate innovation.
