Given the rise of the digital economy and empowered consumers , organizations are ramping up their digital transformation efforts . IDC predicts that more than US $ 7.4 trillion will be spent on digital transformation technologies globally , from 2020 till 2023 .

For digital transformation technologies to deliver value , they need to be supported by a hybrid multicloud environment that allows IT resources to be deployed whenever and wherever they are required . This , in turn , enables organizations to use data to improve the efficiency of their existing operations , gain business agility to quickly adapt to changes , and drive new sources of competitive differentiation .

However , hybrid multicloud can come with some management challenges . If the different environments ( i . e ., on-premise , private cloud , or public cloud ) aren ’ t well integrated , organizations will find it challenging to have visibility , control , or use their data to achieve business objectives .

Recognizing this issue , NTT and NetApp are jointly empowering organizations to seamlessly and securely liberate , integrate , and unleash the full potential of their data across the hybrid multicloud environment . Since the partnership combines NTT ’ s in-depth industry knowledge and technological expertise with NetApp ’ s integrated hybrid multicloud portfolio , NTT can now deliver a unified and cohesive cloud strategy that is tailored to each client ’ s business transformation efforts .

By using a consulting-led approach , NTT ensures that its clients ’ hybrid multicloud allows their data , workload , and applications to be portable and scalable as well as delivers local customizations to meet their needs in every market they are in . This helps clients to become data-driven , agile , and deliver good user / end-customer experiences -- ultimately enabling them to achieve their business goals .

Since there is no single right path for digital or business transformation , organizations are increasingly looking at trusted advisors such as NTT for guidance in their digital transformation efforts and measuring the resulting business outcomes . To date , NTT and NetApp has jointly helped organizations across industries – including automotive , financial services , manufacturing , logistics , and transportation – in Asia and across the globe to turn their data into a strategic asset to capture opportunities presented by trends such as Industry 4.0 , Smart Cities , and Artificial Intelligence . Together , we will continue to co-invest in R & D and co-create solutions that are relevant to client ’ s needs today and tomorrow , so that they are always prepared for change and can continue fueling growth using data .
