SAP platinum partner NTT DATA Business Solutions Asia Pacific has joined the MapR Converge Partners program, to help SAP customers seeking to use the MapR platform to manage big data workloads for use cases such as Internet of Things, logistics and supply chain optimisation.
“Increasingly customers are looking to optimise their existing SAP deployments with modern data platforms designed for cost-effective and scalable storage and processing,” said Max White, CEO, Asia Pacific, NTT DATA Business Solutions. “We’re here to help, and have selected the MapR Converged Data Platform to provide the enterprise-grade availability, data protection and performance that SAP customers demand.”
The MapR Converged Data Platform fully integrates analytics with operational processes in real time.
“We find that many customers have the desire to strengthen their analytics capability to deliver business value, but need assistance with technology and a strategic plan to take hold of the vast amounts of data they have access to. We’ve developed a Big Data Pathway approach which takes customers through step by step – establishing the platform so data is available to business users, then expanding into areas like predictive analytics and machine learning. The MapR platform is a critical part of this foundation,” said White.
“We’re thrilled to have NTT DATA join the MapR Converge Partners program,” said Simon Dale, vice president, APAC, MapR Technologies. “The expertise they bring to SAP environments is tremendous and our collaboration will transform how unstructured and structured data are effectively managed and analysed on modern data platforms. We look forward to working with NTT DATA across the APAC region and helping SAP customers achieve an even greater competitive advantage with their data.”
NTT DATA is headquartered in Tokyo, with business operations in 42 countries.
