82 % approval for NTT DATA in Whitelane Research study ‘IT-Sourcing Germany 2022’
NTT DATA, a global digital business and IT services leader, continues to be number one in customer satisfaction and, for the fourth time in a row, tops the ranking of the best IT service providers. This was the result of the independent study “IT Sourcing Study Germany 2022” by Whitelane Research in cooperation with Navisco AG.
More than 180 customers gave their judgement based on their experiences in more than 450 IT sourcing relationships. The result: NTT DATA again achieved the highest value with 82 percent customer satisfaction and was able to maintain its position as champion. A total of 92 percent of NTT DATA customers were “very satisfied” or “satisfied”.
“At the end of a year of major challenges for the German, European and global economy, it is particularly important for us to remain at the forefront of customer satisfaction in Germany. We see this latest success as an award for our corporate value ‘clients first’. And as a benchmark for our future actions – reliable, secure, innovative as well as ecologically, economically, and socially sustainable,” said Stefan Hansen, CEO and Chairman of the Management Board of NTT DATA DACH.
First-class satisfaction ratings
The first place in the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) “Service Delivery Quality” with 82 percent satisfaction (average: 74 percent) also played a major role in the overall ranking this year. In the important new assessment category “Security”, NTT DATA achieved a top ranking with 80 percent, as well as in “Sustainability” with 75 percent and “Transformative Innovation” with 72 percent. In all eight KPIs, the satisfaction scores for NTT DATA were above average – mostly significantly so.
Norbert Rotter, CEO of NTT DATA Business Solutions AG and SVP NTT DATA, emphasises: “As the largest SAP partner for medium-sized businesses, we understand our customers’ business processes and drive IT innovations together with them. The repeated top ranking confirms our expertise in reliably and satisfactorily implementing and successfully completing highly complex transformation projects.”
Swen Rehders, Chief Sales Officer and Managing Director NTT DATA DACH, said: “The first place for NTT DATA shows that our customers appreciate the quality of the services with which we accompany them in their digital transformation. The top ranking in the three new key performance indicators also confirms our value-oriented strategy and encourages us further to become better together with and for our customers.”
Overall satisfaction with the IT outsourcing contract
Well positioned for future market development
With yet another top ranking, NTT DATA shows that it is well equipped for future growth in the market for IT sourcing: according to the study, 41 percent of respondents plan to outsource more in the future, 31 percent want to make no change and 14 percent are still undecided. Only 14 percent want to outsource less.
As the main motivation for outsourcing, greater scalability for business requirements (61 percent) has replaced a stronger focus on the core business (52 percent). Other important arguments for outsourcing services are access to innovations (44 percent) and personnel (39 percent).
“The fact that 72 percent of respondents want to maintain or expand outsourcing at the current level demonstrates the great importance of IT service partners for the digital transformation of companies. NTT DATA has proven for the fourth time in a row that it has understood the needs of its customers and delivers convincing results in areas such as security and sustainability,” said Jef Loos, Head of Sourcing Europe at Whitelane Research.
