NTT Data has announced a global partnership with Google Cloud to drive industry-specific cloud and AI solutions.
According to Gartner, worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services is forecast to reach $723-billion in 2025, up from $595,7-billion in 2024. The use of AI deployments in IT and business operations is accelerating the reliance on modern cloud infrastructure, highlighting the critical importance of this strategic global partnership.
“This collaboration with Google Cloud represents a significant milestone in our mission to drive innovation and digital transformation across industries,” says Marv Mouchawar, head of global innovation at NTT DATA. “By combining NTT Data’s expertise in AI, cloud-native modernization and enterprise solutions with Google Cloud’s advanced technologies, we are helping businesses accelerate their AI-powered cloud adoption globally and unlock new opportunities for growth.”
Kevin Ichhpurani, president: global partner ecosystem at Google Cloud, says: “Our partnership with NTT Data will help enterprises use agentic AI to enhance business processes and solve complex industry challenges.
“By combining Google Cloud’s AI with NTT DATA’s implementation expertise, we will enable customers to deploy intelligent agents that modernize operations and deliver significant value for their organisations.”
NTT Data will leverage Google Cloud technology to develop several industry-specific AI and cloud solutions, accelerating enterprise transformation across sectors including banking, insurance, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, life sciences and the public sector.
Key focus areas include:
- Industry-specific agentic AI solutions: NTT Data will build new industry solutions that transform analytics, decision-making and client experiences using Google Agentspace, Google’s Gemini models, secure data clean rooms and modernized data platforms.
- AI-driven cloud modernisation: Accelerating enterprise modernization with Google Distributed Cloud for secure, scalable modernization built and managed on NTT Data’s global infrastructure, from data centres to edge to cloud.
- Next-generation application and security modernization: Strengthening enterprise agility and resilience through mainframe modernisation, DevOps, observability, API management, cybersecurity frameworks and SAP on Google Cloud.
- Sovereign cloud innovation: Delivering secure, compliant solutions through Google Distributed Cloud in both air-gapped and connected deployments. Air-gapped environments operate offline for maximum data isolation. Connected deployments enable secure integration with cloud services. These scenarios meet data sovereignty and regulatory demands in sectors such as finance, government and healthcare without compromising innovation.
- Google Distributed Cloud sandbox environment: Google Distributed Cloud sandbox environment is a digital playground where developers can build, test and deploy industry-specific and sovereign cloud deployments. This sandbox will help teams upskill through hands-on training and accelerate time to market with Google Distributed Cloud technologies through preconfigured, ready-to-deploy templates.
