New Delhi: NTT DATA has announced a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with AWS to help enterprises modernise legacy systems, adopt agentic AI responsibly and scale innovation across industries.
The collaboration will deliver tailored enterprise solutions that modernise mission-critical workloads, build secure cloud foundations and drive measurable business outcomes across regulated and high-growth industries.
The arrangement combines NTT DATA’s expertise in cloud transformation, cloud-native modernisation, and Agentic AI with the scale and innovation velocity of AWS services.
AWS will support NTT DATA in running co-innovation programs, certifications and client events, to help enterprises adopt AI-driven cloud solutions faster and with greater confidence.
To advance delivery, NTT DATA has formed a dedicated AWS Business Group, aligned with the AWS sales and delivery structure. This group includes close to 11,000 AWS-certified experts, with the objective of certifying nearly 10,000 more experts over the next three years.
Under the agreement, NTT DATA and AWS will accelerate enterprise transformation in four priority areas:
- AI-driven large-scale cloud transformation: Accelerating the migration and modernisation of on-premises workloads on AWS, leveraging generative and agentic AI, automation and data platforms to unlock new business models and drive intelligent operations.
- Industry cloud solutions on AWS: Delivering modern industry-specific, repeatable offerings across financial services, healthcare, life sciences, public sector, manufacturing, retail and energy, leveraging NTT DATA’s Industry Cloud with 500+ extensible business components and AI agents.
- AI and data innovation for modern managed services and client experiences: Operating secure, compliant cloud environments at scale, including a recent collaboration agreement to modernise contact centre solutions on Amazon Connect to accelerate the adoption of AI-driven customer experience (CX) solutions worldwide.
- Digital sovereignty and regulated cloud solutions on AWS European Sovereign Cloud:
Enabling European governments and enterprises to meet stringent data residency and operational autonomy requirements. As a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, NTT DATA will deliver sovereign-by-design cloud solutions and managed services that combine regulatory compliance with the same security, availability and performance clients expect from AWS.
NTT DATA will develop dozens of new industry-specific, AI-driven cloud solutions on AWS through its Industry Cloud platform to accelerate digital transformation across regulated and high-growth sectors.
- Financial services: The collaboration will modernise core banking and compliance workloads to reduce risk and ensure regulatory requirements.
- Healthcare and life sciences: With support from AWS, NTT DATA will develop secure, AI-enabled data platforms to deliver intelligent insights from business applications, improving outcomes and accelerating research.
