Bielefeld, June 10, 2022 – NTT DATA Business Solutions AG made a strong impression on the jury of the prestigious German Brand Award with its international rebranding project #Transformation2021. The leading international SAP consultancy for small and medium-sized enterprises has been recognized in two categories for the best brand strategy of the year 2022. NTT DATA Business Solutions has won in the category “Excellence in Brand Strategy and Creation – Brand Strategy of the Year” and received a “Special Mention” in the category “Excellence in Brand Strategy and Creation – Brand Design – Corporate Brand.”
The rebranding project #Transformation2021 marks a milestone in the history of the company. For over 30 years, the name itelligence has stood for top-notch SAP skills and solid industry expertise. In April 2021, a new era began – the previous, independent branding was transformed to match the NTT DATA Group branding. At that point, itelligence became NTT DATA Business Solutions. The rebranding also sent a signal internationally: the brand relaunch is part of NTT DATA Group’s large global growth and branding initiative being organized under the motto “ONE NTT DATA – Grow as one.”
Norbert Rotter, CEO of NTT DATA Business Solutions, commented: “As part of the NTT DATA Group, we’re now one of the leading international companies in the IT sector. We are systematically pursuing further growth, without forgetting our roots. We are looking forward to ‘transforming’ the advantages of belonging to the NTT DATA Group into added value for our customers. There is a spirit of optimism in the digitization industry. The German Brand Award is a visible sign of our plans for the future. It strengthens our global perception as a major brand in the digitization industry. And it increases our attractiveness for high potentials who use their international career opportunities with us.”
In addition to the new branding and new designs in internal and external communication, a global campaign titled “Transformation is not about technology” was launched in more than 30 national subsidiaries simultaneously.
“In a great company like ours, what’s most important is the people who are part of it. A strong brand is always built from the inside out. I accept the honor of the German Brand Award 2022 on behalf of the entire global team. It is a wonderful acknowledgement of our exceptional interdisciplinary cooperation and our unique corporate culture,” said Torsten Scholz, Chief Marketing Officer NTT DATA Business Solutions.
The rebranding project #Transformation2021 made a big impression on the jury of the German Brand Awards, which honors the best campaigns and most important brand builders every year. NTT DATA Business Solutions developed the rebranding project in cooperation with LHLK Agentur für Kommunikation and the agency wob AG, which was also recognized in this year’s German Brand Awards. For its work on the project for NTT DATA Business Solutions, B2B marketing agency wob AG won awards in the categories “Excellence in Brand Strategy and Creation – Brand Revival of the Year” and “Excellence in Brand Strategy and Creation – Brand Communication – 360° Campaign.”
The German Brand Award is one of the most important German marketing industry awards for brand management.
