TOKYO, Japan and Hong Kong, December 15th, 2017 - NTT Communications (NTT Com), the ICT solutions and international communications business within the NTT Group (TYO: 9432), announced that Vantis Consulting Group (Vantis) has become the first partner in Hong Kong to join its Global Management One (GMOne) Managed Services Partner Program. The partnership accelerates NTT Com's momentum to expand GMOne managed services across Asia and empowers enterprises to enjoy end-to-end ICT solutions from a trusted local partner with specialized expertise in cloud and business applications.

The announcement builds on Vantis' existing partnership with NTT Com for Enterprise Cloud Marketplace, which was launched last year. With the new agreement, Vantis will resell NTT Com GMOne managed services, cloud and hosting solutions, and further integrates with their service offerings to meet enterprises' growing hybrid ICT needs.

"We are excited to welcome Vantis as our first partner for GMOne in Hong Kong," said Hirofumi Miyama, Senior Vice President of Managed Services at NTT Com. "By leveraging their strong implementation track record and local expertise for deploying cloud business applications for enterprises, especially SAP applications, we will be able to expand our footprint in Asia and ensure that our end customers get the right services and support they need in their cloud migration journey."

GMOne managed services was designed to answer calls from enterprises looking to manage an increasingly decentralized and hybrid ICT environment. Research firm Gartner¹ forecasted 90% of organizations will adopt hybrid infrastructure management by 2020. Enterprises are also increasingly looking for agile, efficient and cost effective cloud-based and automated managed services to enhance their competitive edge as they transform digitally. In addition, new IT paradigms, such as Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI), are making ICT needs more complex.

GMOne managed services enables Hong Kong-based enterprises to enjoy one-stop, seamless service portfolio, which leverages NTT Com's global resources for managing entire hybrid ICT ecosystems, from infrastructure, business applications to smart outsourcing.

"We are proud to become the first Hong Kong partner for NTT Com's GMOne managed services. The partnership cements our business objectives and helps us to better meet the ICT needs of our expanding pool of customers. It will definitely help us to build deeper relationships with our existing customers as they transform their business to become more digital and embrace new technological advances," said Dr. Rocky Lam, CEO, Vantis.
