This report examines the capabilities of NTT DATA in Digital Transformation. It provides a comprehensive review of the products, services, and capabilities of NTT DATA across 11 technology areas and dozens of functions, to determine its core strengths for meeting enterprise needs. The 11 technology families in which the vendors capabilities are assessed are IoT, Hyperconnectivity, Human Machine Interface, Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Ledger, Data Sharing, Product Lifecycle Management, Robotic Process Automation, Edge Computing, Autonomous Robotic Systems, and 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing. While these might not encompass every possible technology that organisations might need in order to purse a Digital Transformation, they certainly represent the most disruptive, and therefore the ones of which enterprises should be most aware. The report includes rating across each of the technology areas and functional capabilities (specialised hardware, general hardware, software products, integrated solutions, application development, systems integration and project management, specialist services, field & operational services) using Transforma Insight’s four-level universal rating system for vendors in Digital Transformation. Internet of Things, for instance, spans hardware, software, application development, implementation, field services and specialist services. For each of the 92 combinations of function and technology, NTT DATA is rated for whether its capabilities are ‘Emerging’, ‘Significant’ or ‘Market Leading’ (or ‘None’). This rating is based on both the credibility of the solution and the position of the offering in the market (e.g. market share).

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly developing technology with a widespread impact. Its implementation can be seen all around us from chatbots to autonomous vehicles. AI developments are on course to improve operational efficiency, bring labour productivity, and boost economies. However, the negative environmental impacts of AI are often hidden from public view and the technology can have socioeconomic and sustainability implications and hinder the clean energy ambitions of tech giants. Google and Microsoft, both have reported a significant surge in their carbon emissions in the last five years, largely attributed to increase in their data centre energy consumption as a consequence of infusing AI into their core products. AI has been used for decades but the question around its impact on the environment has arisen in recent years since the techniques or AI models developed now use a vast amount of data, significant computational power and are becoming far more complex and widespread. This was triggered by the generative AI boom and mass adoption of large language model-based products like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and others in the second half of 2022 . These recent AI models are fed with diverse and large data sets to bring more accuracy and robustness, and work with low latency. This requires extensive storage and powerful processing, thus escalating electricity demand and carbon emissions. Microsoft, for example, had a stable increase of carbon emissions for many years but has reported a significant increase of 29% in carbon emissions since 2020, mostly due to its data centre expansions that were designed to support AI workloads. Another tech giant, Google, has also been facing challenges due to increased electricity demand driven by AI. It saw a rise of 48% in its carbon emissions since 2019, driven by data centres and supply chain emissions. This is clearly a challenge to the ambitions of any AI company that is aiming to becoming carbon neutral. In this report, we summarise our findings on the environmental impact of AI and we highlight some of the initiatives that are being taken by AI companies and cloud providers to offset related carbon emissions.

The development of quantum computers is well under way. Even though these machines are still in relatively early development stages it will not be long before the adoption of quantum computing becomes mainstream in many industries. Over the past few years, some remarkable milestones have been achieved by different technology leaders in this field. For instance, Google was able to construct a quantum computer in 2019 which could do a mathematical calculation in 3 minutes 20 seconds, which would have taken a regular supercomputer 10,000 years to solve. Currently the most advanced development is IBM’s Quantum Condor processor with a 1,000-qubit capacity. Quantum computing increasingly provides great opportunities to enterprises, especially in the field of new drug discovery, financial trading, and supply chain optimisation. But with its great benefits, it also brings along some major threats that need to be mitigated in order to protect highly sensitive information concerning people, organisations, and nations. In this report we analyse the contexts in which quantum computing can pose a threat to present-day security systems and approaches to mitigate the risks. We talk in detail about post quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum key distribution (QKD), today’s two major techniques that can be used to protect data from the threat of quantum attacks. The report also highlights different advances that are being made in order to ensure data protection along with a range of use case examples in which quantum-safe security is being implemented to safeguard user information. Lasty, we also profile some of the players that are providing quantum-safe security to organisations and highlight the different products and systems they are using in order to do so.
