New Delhi:Â 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:
