NTT Advanced Technology and NTT Communications (China), Start Collaboration for Expanding Services to Global Markets

NTT Advanced Technology Corporation

Background

Currently, many Japanese companies are advancing the development of services in the global market, and the need for a global response for systems maintenance and operation is increasing year by year. ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for ensuring the reliability and continuity of maintenance operations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, is now indispensable for mission-critical operations of a wide variety of companies.

In this situation, based on the advanced technical strength it has cultivated as a member of the NTT Group, NTT-AT has been responding to the diverse corporate needs in the ICT era, accompanying the recent expansion of cloud business and heightened security monitoring needs to develop consistent systems from system development, system construction and maintenance operations, to data center/ cloud (ICT–24 cloud) and SOC (Security Operation Center) development. NTT Com China was established in October 2004 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTT Communications in order to provide IT solutions business for global companies, including Japanese companies operating in China. Based on the global IT strategy of our global headquarters, they provide optimum solutions based on the current situation in China and provide a high level of quality service with strong human resources.

In this business environment, both NTT and NTT Com China, as members of the same NTT Group, have started collaboration, utilizing each other’s strengths and abundant achievement records in the fields of monitoring and maintenance with the aim of expanding into the global market.

The Aim of Collaboration

NTT-AT has been operating the "ICT-24 Operation Center" which provides total maintenance and operation support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from network to application maintenance since March, 2008. They have engineers with specialized skills and a performance record of nationwide carrier serviced, etc., to provide advanced maintenance services.

Since April of 2006, NTT Com China has been providing system monitoring and maintenance services 24 hours a day 365 days, providing high quality maintenance services based on introducing multilingual support in Japanese, Chinese and English languages as well as IT service management. In order to meet diverse corporate needs, NTT Com China responds with the famous Japan quality, and they have experience in handling over 1,000 Japanese companies and affiliates so far.

At this time, we are taking advantage of NTT-AT's advanced expertise in the fields of network, security and cloud services, and NTT Com China's multi-lingual globalization in Japanese, Chinese and English, to provide a collaboration that utilizes these strengths to provide high quality services that respond to the needs of diverse global markets through primary and secondary system maintenance in the operation of IT services.

This collaboration between the two companies will both strengthen the structure for global expansion of NTT-AT, which has been widely offering products and services based on the state-of-the-art technology of NTT Laboratories, while also leading to the development of new customers for NTT Com China, matching the needs of both companies.

Description of the Collaboration

NTT-AT will be the contact point while remote monitoring and maintenance work will be carried out at NTT Com China. Contacts by e-mail, emergency telephone contacts, reporting etc. will be responded to in Japanese. (It is also possible to get responses in Chinese or English according to the needs of the customers.)

Next Steps in Deployment

Through this collaboration, NTT-AT and NTT Com China aim to expand maintenance and operation service business, including both domestic as well as overseas (China), aiming for sales of 500 million yen by three years from now.

In the future, through cooperation between the main company in Japan and the branch in China, we will provide 24 hours a day, 365 days a year system monitoring and maintenance service, provide multilingual support services, security monitoring services for Chinese enterprises and for branch offices of Japanese companies in China, and provide advanced security response services from the Japanese side in order to expand services to meet the diverse needs of international markets. In addition, by expanding the collaboration between both companies, we will be able to expand sales of NTT-AT’s products and services in the Chinese market, as well as maintenance support in China, etc., to expand our global services.
