With full migration and outsourcing skills in readiness for the Microsoft product, which when launched in September will place NTT Com among the pioneer global managed solution providers capable of implementing and operating this new solution. Besides holding SAP Certified Outsourcing Operations Partner certification for hosting, cloud and HANA operations services, the company has also aligned itself perfectly following the market’s proclivity toward the bimodal IT framework for unobstructed provisioning of IT services.

A case scenario of one of NTT’s clients substantiates the efficacy of managed service offering, wherein the client, an internationally renowned consumer and enterprise-grade imaging solutions provider, leveraged NTT’s managed service as a platform to quickly deploy fast and scalable web servers in a matter of minutes. The ‘pay for use’ model enabled the client to pay for only the resources they had consumed and extricated them from the hassles of long term contracts. The client’s private and enterprise cloud instances in two European countries were integrated with the managed European WAN from NTT Com. With NTT Com’s synergic mix of capabilities and global presence, the client was able to achieve an efficient and agile IT model that complied with the highest standards of security and business continuity.

Looking ahead, in addition to expanding its managed services footprint in USA, EU and APAC regions, NTT Com plans to sharpen their proactive services through smart automation. “The idea is not to just automate human tasks, but enable our engineers to avoid doing non-automatable tasks, and provide them with timely information and insight so that they can make better and faster decisions. That's our core strategy service-wise,” concludes Garcia.
