Despite the volatile market environment, our customers' digital transformation remains a megatrend and a clear growth driver. Based on our decades of SAP expertise, we create genuine added value and strengthen the competitiveness of our customers across the globe."

Cloud services and international business as growth drivers The cloud subscription sales segment again proved to be a key growth driver in fiscal year 2024/25: Related revenues increased by 49.5 percent to 191.9 million euros. The division was thus able to maintain the pace of doubling its revenue every two years.

In the area of managed services, the company recorded an increase of 11.4 percent to 751.5 million euros.

The company also saw strong growth in its international activities, particularly in the regions of Western Europe (WE, +29.2%), Middle East, Türkiye & Africa (META, +46.3%), as well as Asia-Pacific & India (APAC, +25.5%). The company also recorded strong growth of 17.7% in North America and Brazil. The economically challenging domestic market of Germany/Austria/Switzerland (DACH) also experienced positive development with a further increase of 6.6 percent.

Transforming the global SME sector with innovations According to Norbert Rotter, the SME sector must forge ahead with its digital transformation in order to remain successful in the long term. This applies particularly to the areas of cloud and artificial intelligence (AI). To this end, NTT DATA Business Solutions provides holistic support to companies around the world – from strategic consulting to implementation and day-to-day operations. "Based on our strength of innovation, we provide end-to-end solutions to key challenges, acting as a one-stop shop," continues Norbert Rotter. "As part of the Japanese NTT/NTT DATA Group, we also benefit from a strong network that forms the basis for further sustained growth."

The number of employees (currently 16,763) is also expected to increase further during the current fiscal year 2025. The aim is to expand the company not only in terms of its personnel but also strategically, for instance through targeted acquisitions. These efforts will focus on companies in key industries, such as life sciences, as well as companies that specialize in solutions based on SAP, Microsoft, or ServiceNow technologies, or that can add innovative software solutions to the ownIP portfolio.
