NTT DATA CEO Abhijit Dubey emphasised moving enterprises beyond experimentation to scaled AI impact with confidence. AWS VP Greg Pearson highlighted joint architecture platforms and AI‑driven experiences enhancing regulatory compliance and digital transformation velocity.
Regulated Industries Gain Tailored Cloud Solutions
Financial services, healthcare, and public sector organisations benefit from sovereignty‑compliant infrastructure supporting AI‑powered decisioning and customer engagement. The partnership addresses data localisation mandates through AWS European Sovereign Cloud while enabling agentic AI workflows across hybrid environments. NTT DATA’s 10,000 additional AWS certifications over three years strengthen delivery capacity for complex migrations and greenfield implementations. Co‑innovation initiatives accelerate industry‑specific accelerators for compliance‑heavy sectors.
