NTT Data has joined the SAP PartnerEdge program with a “Run” focus as a managed service provider (MSP) and will offer value-add services based on cloud solutions from SAP such as the RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP solutions and SAP Business AI as a full service package to customers around the globe.

Working with an MSP like NTT Data allows businesses to focus on their core objectives, innovate with confidence and achieve sustainable growth in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
