Vendor Analysis
published on Oct 05, 2018
Report Overview:
NTT DATA has put its Salesforce (SFDC) capabilities under the structure of geography-based SFDC practices and the coordination of a Global One CoE. NTT DATA's Global One CoE has several roles, including optimizing offerings and IPs created in one geo across NTT DATA countries, or funding training and certification, or the development of IP.
NTT DATA has developed its SFDC capabilities both internally and externally. The company has acquired two SFDC service specialists:
- Centerstance (2012, U.S.). Portland, OR -based Centerstance, a Salesforce consulting partner in North America, had at the time of the acquisition a headcount of 140
- Nefos (2016, Switzerland). Nefos, a Zurich -based Salesforce partner, was founded in 2007 and served German-speaking markets in DACH. Nefos also had a nearshore development center in Croatia. Its client base included manufacturing, automotive, telecom, and services.
Finally, NTT DATA gained some SFDC capabilities from
- The 2014 acquisition of everis, a well-respected consulting and systems integration firm headquartered in Spain, and also operating in Latin America
- The 2016 acquisition of Dell Services, which significantly expanded NTT DATA's presence in North America.
NTT DATA has based its SFDC value proposition on several elements:
- A consulting approach put into the context of digital transformation and agile development
- A delivery model that is largely onshore to accommodate clients' needs for intimacy in their transformation programs
- Investment in IP and software products complementing the functionality brought by SFDC.
