SEVEN months after acquiring an information-technology (IT) consultant and solutions provider for local clients, NTT DATA Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (NDAP) announced this week that Wizardsgroup Inc. will now be known as NTT DATA Philippines Inc.
In January NTT DATA Corp., through the former as its subsidiary, bought 100 percent of Wizardsgroup’s outstanding shares.
The latter offers high-value IT consulting and learning solutions for Oracle and Microsoft technologies mainly in the domestic market.
This over 20-year-old firm has core services from application-development outsourcing to implementation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions.
NTT DATA Philippines Inc. President and CEO Pocholo Reyes said their company will pursue the same corporate direction of Wizardsgroup.
“We will build on NTT DATA’s group vision to be a ‘Global IT Innovator’ and build upon its world-class IT services to the fullest to drive businesses faster in the country and in the region,” he said.
The recent acquisition combined NTT DATA Philippines’s overall solutions package with Wizardsgroup’s competency in deploying Microsoft technologies and capabilities on Oracle Engineered Systems.
This provides added value in consulting services across industries, as well as to software companies, system integrators and IT service providers.
Currently, NTT DATA Philippines has clients in the telecommunications, financial-service institution and banking, oil and gas, health care and manufacturing industries.
The company’s clients will have access to the expanded capabilities and industry offerings and get benefits of the company’s global geographical presence.
