Message from
the President

On behalf of the NTT DATA Group, I would like to take the opportunity to offer you our best wishes for your
continued success.
Formulating the Group Vision as “Global IT Innovator” in 2005, the NTT DATA Group has expanded globally
and increased its focus on services, enabling us to move away from a business model centered on large-scale
system integration (SI) in Japan. As a result, we have grown to a scale where our diverse array of employees can
deliver a broad range of IT services in many of the world’s countries and regions.
With our Group companies globally now integrated as Global One NTT DATA, we are again united under our
“Global IT Innovator” Group Vision and aim to join the ranks of the global top 5 players in the IT service industry.
Building long-term relationships with our clients, we work to help them realize their dreams and
hopes. Moreover, we boost the added value of our services by advancing leading-edge technologies and
creating “ecosystems” where various companies and services are aggregated and linked to each other.
Furthermore, we are nurturing a culture of creativity that is competitive globally through our respect for
the diversity of all Group employees as individuals.
Based on our new, refined Group Vision, we continue to meet challenges and take large strides towards
where we believe the NTT DATA Group should be ten years from now.
