Our take
The changes brought on by digitisation have only accelerated in the past few decades, and large organisations have been struggling to keep up. Attracting future investment and ensuring growth is more than a matter of purchasing new tools, it involves a fundamental change in ways of working and company culture that few organisations have the expertise to achieve on their own. The UK and Ireland arm of NTT Data, a global digital transformation consultancy and services firm, exists to support businesses and government organisations through this seismic change.
With digital transformation at the top of most enterprises' agendas, NTT Data faces major competition in this sector from the likes of Deloitte, Accenture and IBM's consulting arm. However NTT Data UK & Ireland brings significant local expertise particularly in UK telecommunications, financial services and the British public sector which gives them an edge in this market.
NTT Data UK&I has ambitious plans to capture 2% of the total digital transformation market in the UK, a sector which was worth £20 billion in 2022 and is projected to increase rapidly year on year. To achieve this it has formed strategic partnerships with infrastructure providers such as Google Cloud, allowing it to offer multi-cloud solutions as part of its suite of services to its clients. If it can leverage the size and expertise of its parent organisation successfully while still retaining its local advantages, it is well placed to achieve this goal.
