NTT DATA Business Solutions Launches Microsoft Center of Excellence to Drive Innovation and Excellence

Bielefeld, Germany — NTT DATA Business Solutions is proud to announce the establishment of its Microsoft Center of Excellence (CoE), marking a significant milestone in its journey toward innovation and exceptional performance. The CoE will provide customers with comprehensive solutions to address the increasing demand and complexity of business challenges.

Ulrich Meine, Head of Microsoft Center of Excellence, has set the focus of the CoE on five key pillars: Infrastructure, process enhancement and automation with Microsoft Power Platform tools, security, Data & Analytics and AI. By concentrating efforts on these critical areas, NTT DATA Business Solutions provides cutting-edge solutions that address the diverse needs of its customers. “Our Microsoft CoE provides technical expertise and best practices to enhance the SAP-focused landscapes of our customers with complementary Microsoft services,” says Ulrich Meine.

The CoE works closely with consulting teams in more than 30 countries worldwide. As part of NTT DATA, Inc., the group forms an extensive network to offer unparalleled support and expert guidance. The NTT DATA group’s fundamental Microsoft expertise was recently highlighted when NTT DATA, Inc. announced the formation of a dedicated business unit for Microsoft Cloud to meet the growing demand for secure, AI-driven enterprise cloud transformation. The global unit combines NTT DATA’s strongest industry and technical expertise in Microsoft Cloud, security and AI solutions to accelerate cloud modernization, scale Agentic AI, and manage complex sovereignty and compliance requirements.

“We are excited to have launched the Microsoft CoE, which plays a pivotal role in our strategic initiatives,” says Jonas Striewski, Head of Business Alliance Management at NTT DATA Business Solutions. “The CoE enables us to harness the power of Microsoft technologies to deliver transformative solutions that enhance our customers’ digital experiences and drive business growth.”

The CoE team, as well as all NTT DATA Business Solutions Microsoft experts globally, aim to leverage Microsoft’s latest technology in all areas. Agentic AI streamlines intelligent automation in key SAP functions, and Microsoft Fabric’s real-time insights accelerate decision-making processes, ensuring they are faster and more informed. Collaboration between SAP and Microsoft services, such as multi-layer security and seamless Microsoft 365 workflows, boosts productivity and fosters innovation.

The Microsoft CoE emphasizes compliance and security by advocating for enterprise-grade tools like Entra ID for zero-trust access control and integration with Sentinel SIEM, ensuring strong regulatory compliance and advanced threat detection capabilities.
