Background
The initiatives of our group regarding SAP.
Our group has a proven track record of supporting SAP service implementation for over 35 years and provides a wide range of consulting, business transformation, project implementation, and operational services as a strategic Global partner (Global Strategic Services Partner) of SAP. With more than 20,000 SAP professionals in over 50 countries and regions, we have contributed to solving customers' management issues through over 1,300 SAP S/4HANA projects to date.
About NTT Data's company-wide project "Project GAIA."
The conventional core internal system that was overhauled in 2006 experienced decreased usability due to aging IT architecture, as well as reduced accessibility to information caused by system construction at the business unit level. As a result, business processes were not adequately adapted to changes in business structures associated with the advancement of digitization, leading to low business Agiliti. In order to address these challenges, a company-wide project called "Project GAIA" was launched in 2019 with the mission of "changing operations, IT, behavior, and awareness to create customer value and achieve employee happiness," aiming for a refresh and business reform through the application of digital technologies to the internal IT system, which began operations of the newly overhauled company-wide core system in April 2024. This project centered around SAP products such as SAP Ariba (suppliers: 2,500 companies), SAP Concur (users: 10,000 people), S/4HANA (users: 300 people), and SAP S/4HANA Finance for cash management, realizing requirements by area in the cloud.
Overview of the Award
On March 7, 2025, NTT Data was awarded the "SAP Project Award" for excellence by SAP Japan for the company-wide project "Project GAIA."
Leveraging long-standing insights and experience as an SAP partner, along with the extensive knowledge of the NTT Data Group and management capabilities developed through large-scale projects, NTT Data concurrently introduced SAP Ariba, SAP Concur, and SAP S/4HANA in this complex and large-scale overhaul of the company’s core systems. This promoted simplification of decision-making processes in sales, development, and operations, creating an environment focused on efficiency in management tasks and value creation with customers. The project's true objective was to hasten management determinations and enhance the efficiency of business processes, thereby contributing to the "improvement of customer value" through the provision of higher-level services and to the "self-fulfillment of employees" through the introduction of new business models, which led to high recognition and the awarding of the prize.
Looking ahead.
