NTT DATA will also scale its use of the ServiceNow AI Platform to drive productivity, efficiency, and customer experience improvements across its global operations, while ServiceNow designates NTT DATA as a strategic AI delivery partner to help customers deploy AI-powered automation and achieve operational efficiency at scale.

The expanded partnership builds on the long-standing collaboration between ServiceNow and NTT DATA, and underscores the companies’ shared commitment to helping enterprises operationalize and scale AI responsibly.
