Key findings of the IoT C&SI Survey 2020 for NTT DATA

Global Solution Development Expert

According to the participants in this survey, NTT DATA is a global leader in IoT solution development in Europe and Americas. One of the reasons for that is that the company can draw upon the research and development engine of its parent organization, which supports areas such as the development of the Corevo artificial intelligence platform. Furthermore, NTT DATA’s project business is already strongly related to solution development – around one third of its revenue today comes from application-related project services.

Leader in IoT Implementation

The participants in this survey ranked NTT DATA as the top vendor for IoT implementation skills in Europe and also across the peer group of all consulting companies.
An important aspect in this context is the presence of dedicated in-house software development capabilities to adapt solutions to the specific needs of large clients. Delivering end-to-end solutions is key in the complex world of IoT.
NTT DATA has also been ranked very high in overall implementation because it has the ability to leverage additional implementation expertise of its parent organization (telecom giant NTT, which has network coverage in 190 countries) to offer full-stack services, from advisory to infrastructure to applications and the network layer. Extended network capabilities in particular are key for IoT implementations.
