As part of the initiative, NTT DATA will support TGS in harmonizing business processes and unifying the company’s IT infrastructure across the organization. At the core of the transformation is the implementation of SAP as the digital backbone of TGS, a single ERP platform that will support key business functions and enable greater efficiency and scalability moving forward.

Building on proven success

The decision to move forward with NTT DATA is rooted in the proven results of their earlier engagement. During the preparatory phase, NTT DATA demonstrated deep expertise and a strong alignment with TGS’s operational needs, addressing change management, organizational readiness, and cross-functional process alignment across multiple areas.

“Partnering with NTT DATA was not just a technology decision – it was about aligning with a true partner that understands and helps us deliver business value,” says Runar Stalsberg, Senior Vice President, Global Supply Chain, TGS. “This transformation is complex, and we acknowledge both challenges and successes ahead. We sought a partner who would co-drive this with us – and in NTT DATA, we believe we have found that partnership.”

Our teams worked closely during the explore phase to ensure alignment across all levels of the organization. This new phase is a clear vote of confidence and a responsibility we take seriously.

“We’re proud to deepen our relationship with TGS,” says Morten Arnesen, Managing Director at NTT DATA Business Solutions. “Our teams worked closely during the explore phase to ensure alignment across all levels of the organization. This new phase is a clear vote of confidence and a responsibility we take seriously.”
