20 Years of NTT DATA Business Solutions Nordics

 

Great accomplishments call for a celebration. 20 years ago, NTT DATA Business Solutions’ Nordic journey began. And it sure has been one remarkable journey. From establishing 2C change in Denmark in 2002, to expanding the business beyond the Danish borders, and becoming a part of the global company itelligence AG (NTT DATA Group) in 2011. Today, the name is spelled NTT DATA Business Solutions and the company has a revenue of more than 880 MDKK (about 120 MEuro) in the Nordics. Despite the many milestones reached, the company culture and values remain the same.

In 2002, a group of skilled SAP professionals started the company 2C change in Denmark. Little did they know that the company would soon become a strong player in the market, and later in 2008, would open an office in Norway to further expand in the Nordics. Some of the first customers included NEG Micon, Viking and Satair.

Over the years, 2C change continued to prove its expertise and value to customers in the Nordics whilst strengthening the bond to SAP. In 2011, itelligence AG, made an offer to acquire the company, together with its 150 employees. All partners from Denmark continued their responsibilities at itelligence (NTT DATA Group).

Breaking new ground in a global setting
Becoming a part of itelligence (NTT DATA Group) in 2011 led to exciting possibilities outside the Nordics and brought with it many new customer projects, which in turn, led to a growing number of employees and competencies. To further strengthen the local presence in the Nordics, the business expanded to Sweden in 2015 and Finland in 2020.

Today, NTT DATA Business Solutions Nordics is one of the biggest SAP Partners in the region and have received many awards over the years. Yet, the things that truly matter, such as company culture and values, have remained the same.

Nicolaj Vang Jessen, one of the founders of 2C change, today, Executive Vice President, says:

When we established 2C change our dream was to create a great place to work, as well as a reliable company to do business with. It was important for us to build a company where culture and competence was essential in the way we worked with our customers and among employees. Today, this is as important as it was 20 years ago, and it has been fundamental for our success. I’m happy that we can still call ourselves a value-adding partner to our customers across the Nordics. And I’m looking forward to celebrating this anniversary in the great company of our employees, who made – and continue to make – great things happen.

Norbert Rotter, CEO of NTT DATA Business Solutions AG, concludes:

The Nordics is one of our most successful regions worldwide, where we have increased our revenue tenfold since 2011. Today, The Nordics is home to our globally successful Innovation Hub and makes an important contribution to our business development. Congratulations to our people in the Nordics on 20 years of continuous inspiration.
