The global leader in digital business and technology services, NTT DATA, is marking a major milestone in its 30-year collaboration with Cisco by launching AI powered Software Defined Infrastructure services (SDI) for Cisco’s infrastructure and software products. This latest evolution reinforces the companies’ longstanding partnership, aimed at helping organizations modernize IT infrastructure and accelerate digital transformation.

“With AI powered SDI services, we’re leveraging our strategic vision to provide organizations proactive, intelligent automation helping them navigate the complexities of hardware and software alignment to business,” said Aditya Afzulpurkar, Senior Vice President, Technology Solutions, NTT DATA, Inc. “We are proud of the evolution of our partnership with Cisco as both companies go beyond traditional services to help clients solve real business challenges in the era of AI.”

Modern infrastructure requires a non-traditional approach. According to NTT DATA’s 2024 GenAI research, 80% of organizations agree that inadequate or outdated technology is holding back organizational progress and innovation efforts.

In fact, 94% of C-suite executives believe legacy infrastructure is greatly hindering their business agility. AI infrastructure investments are a critical part of organizations’ and companies know the clock is ticking, yet only 13% are ready to leverage AI and AI-powered technologies to their full potential, according to Cisco’s 2024 AI Readiness Index.

“As businesses navigate increasingly complex technology lifecycles, they need partners who combine automation, intelligence, and measurable results,” said Leslie Rosenberg, Research Vice President, Network Lifecycle and Infrastructure Services, IDC. “SDI services deliver on all three, redefining the way enterprises manage IT infrastructure.”

NTT DATA’s SDI services for Cisco products deliver intelligent automation and real-time insights to optimize infrastructure, reduce costs and drive business outcomes. NTT DATA has invested significantly in AI capabilities to provide clients with assured outcomes, asset management and more. 

“For over 30 years, NTT DATA and Cisco have collaborated in delivering innovation and accelerating customer success,” said Shannon Leininger, Vice President, Global Partner Sales at Cisco. “NTT DATA will now also provide AI-powered digital infrastructure services to enable future-proofed workplaces and AI ready data centers — bringing together networking and security to empower organizations with a modern digital infrastructure for the AI era.”
