Project Approach

Project Approach:

In 2005, in response to accelerating globalization, NTT DATA instituted a new Group Vision, which they termed Global IT Innovator. With IT at the core of their business, they aimed to comprehensively expand their operations to markets around the world. Their vision embraced two beliefs: “they could change IT to make it better” and “through IT they could change the world.” As a leading innovator in the field of IT, they set out to enable their clients to achieve their highest goals and aspirations.

In 2013, their growing operations include approximately 62,000 people in 35 countries working on the challenges that their clients face. To help accelerate their business growth in the decade ahead, they have instituted a new highly evolved definition of Global IT Innovator.

Group Vision contains three messages:

(1) build long-term relationships with clients and enable them to reach their highest goals and aspirations;
(2) create evolving ecosystems through advanced technology;
(3) enhance creativity through the respect and encouragement of diversity at every level of the company.

At NTT DATA, new challenges and the opportunity for greater progress in the decade ahead begin now.
