NTT Data Launches Smart AI Agent Ecosystem for Enterprises
NTT Data introduces a new AI ecosystem transforming legacy bots into intelligent agents, aligning with the shift from standalone tools to integrated AI solutions.
NTT Data has launched its Smart AI Agent Ecosystem, a comprehensive solution designed to modernize legacy systems by converting them into autonomous intelligent agents. The offering includes a patented plug-in for upgrading existing bots, alongside an expanded alliance network to deliver scalable AI services.
Key Features of the Ecosystem
- Managed Agentic Services: Custom solutions for building, deploying, and scaling AI agents.
- Embedded Agents: Tailored for industry-specific and cross-functional needs.
- Integrated Platform: Tools, language model access, and a marketplace for third-party agents.
- AI-Ready Infrastructure: Supports public/private cloud, network services, and cybersecurity.
- Governance & Compliance: Built on a "responsible by design" principle.
Yutaka Sasaki, CEO of NTT Data Group, emphasized the transformative potential of AI, stating, "We empower clients to shape their future with AI." The company has already deployed hundreds of agents in sectors like healthcare, finance, and logistics, focusing on intelligent orchestration beyond mere task execution.
Industry Trends and Partnerships
The move reflects a broader shift from standalone AI tools to integrated ecosystems, a trend highlighted at MWC 2025. NTT Data’s strategy aligns with global enterprises embedding AI into core infrastructure.
New alliances with OpenAI, Rafay Systems, and Kore.ai aim to accelerate adoption. A dedicated OpenAI Centre of Excellence will focus on industry-specific generative AI solutions.
Legacy System Upgrades
A standout feature is the patented plug-in for converting legacy RPA bots into intelligent agents, addressing technical debt while future-proofing automation investments. This innovation mirrors efforts like the Open Lakehouse framework for modernizing data systems.
The Future of Agentic AI
NTT Data’s ecosystem underscores the growing importance of multi-agent systems in digital operations. As AI agents take on roles traditionally handled by humans, the demand for secure, scalable frameworks is rising. The company positions itself as a leader in this evolving landscape, offering end-to-end solutions for intelligent automation.
