The offering will be made available on all NTT infrastructures across private, public and hybrid clouds, through a consumption-based delivery model.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re set to see more organizations place key infrastructure and applications in the cloud. However, for global enterprises it is often a difficult and complex journey,\u201d said Damian Skendrovic, CEO at NTT Comms Managed Services. \u201cOur new cloud solutions for SAP put our customers in pole position to migrate to the cloud and manage their applications more effectively. This ensures that business operations are enhanced as quickly as possible and without disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To achieve the certification, a provider\u2019s cloud platform must undertake comprehensive testing by SAP to authorize the integration with its complete application set. Aside from the company\u2019s infrastructure being tested against the standards, NTT\u2019s technical staff in the EMEA, Americas and Asia Pacific regions were also placed under the same scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the managed services business unit, the NTT team have continued efforts to diversify its revenue channels and grow its business in new markets. NTT Data recently <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businesscloudnews.com\/2016\/03\/29\/ntt-data-to-acquire-dell-services-for-3-06-billion-2\/\">announced<\/a> plans to acquire Dell Services for $3.06 billion, as it prioritized growth in international markets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNTT Data is pleased with the unique opportunity to acquire such high-calibre talent, and a corporate culture that shares common values with NTT Data, with emphasis on client first, foresight, teamwork and a commitment to innovation,\u201d said Toshio Iwamoto, President and CEO of NTT Data Corporation. \u201cWelcoming Dell Services to NTT DATA is expected to strengthen our leadership position in the IT Services market and initiates an important business relationship with Dell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition is the fourth made by NTT over the course of 2016, though it would appear that EMC are not in such a favourable position. Dell Services as a business unit was reportedly to be valued in the region of $5 billion, which could highlight Dell\u2019s urgency in completing the sale. If reports are correct, it would appear NTT Data has negotiated a good deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NTT Comms has achieved SAP Global Certification for hosting services, cloud services and SAP HANA operations services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":105,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1989,1976,2935,308],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-enterprise-it","category-news-analysis","category-ntt","category-sap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/105"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21567"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21567\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21568,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21567\/revisions\/21568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
