The NTT Group will transfer its 100% holding of Atlas IT S.A. to NTT Com on April 1 2016.
NTT Com said it intends to develop a strong leadership position in global managed network, infrastructure and applications services to augment its network, data center and cloud services. Atlas IT will change its name to NTT Com Managed Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT Com. The new company, which already provides remote infrastructure and application management services to mid-market and enterprise customers in EMEA, North America, Asia and Australia, will be tasked with accelerating this global expansion of managed services.
Shigeru Kitabatake SVP Managed Services commented – “With the financial support of NTT Com we believe the new NTT Com Managed Services business will help us realise our ambition to be a global leader in managed networks, infrastructure and application management.”
Damian Skendrovic, who will take the post of CEO NTT Com Managed Services, added, “After several years of successful growth, I am delighted that Atlas IT has been chosen to lead the global expansion of NTT Com’s managed services business. With the direct backing of NTT Com we are well positioned to realize our global ambitions and better serve our expanding global customer base.”
