Tokyo – NTT DATA, a global leader in digital business and IT services, announced a strategic partnership with Databricks Inc. on January 22, 2025. This collaboration aims to enhance NTT DATA’s data and AI platforms by integrating Databricks’ unified platform, which combines data analytics and AI capabilities.
NTT DATA will be able to combine the data, conventional AI, and generative AI on Databricks’ single platform. It aims to have its AI agents perform more tasks requiring human capability by using lightweight large language models (LLMs) where needed. These AI agents will produce client proposal documents based on customer inputs available in the “Data Intelligence Platform,” thus ensuring that NTT DATA co-creates new business value with customers.
NTT DATA has further plans to equip its workforce with 500 specialized engineers training in the Databricks “Data Intelligence Platform” by FY2027, in addition to improving the AI proficiency of NTT DATA. Specialized programs will be carried out through the Databricks training institution and nurture technical trainers within NTT DATA. The partnership will strengthen collaboration to streamline the entire process from identifying business opportunities to developing client proposals, while promoting joint sales efforts by both companies.
NTT DATA targets a growth revenue of $200 million over the next five years in its Databricks-related business operations. Inevitably, with the joining of forces of both companies, the partnership will enable and allow the democratization of data and AI such that more organizations would leverage sophisticated data analytics and AI capability.
This strategic partnership is aligned with NTT DATA’s corporate philosophy, whereby new systems and new values will be constructed by information technology to achieve a richer and more harmonious society. The innovative data and AI platform created through integration with advanced Databricks technologies has positioned NTT DATA to offer innovative solutions that drive business growth and societal development.
