DIMENSION DATA REBRANDS TO NTT DATA IN TANZANIA

NTT DATA Tanzania, Country Manager, Gloria Kimasa made a presentatation during the official rebranding of the company from Dimension Data to NTT DATA Tanzania recently in Dar es Salaam.

Dar es Salaam – Dimension Data Tanzania Ltd has announced plans to rebrand to NTT DATA in Tanzania, a strategic shift that aligns its regional operations with the global technology powerhouse, NTT DATA.

Following approval from the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority, the rebrand represents NTT DATA’s commitment to bringing enhanced services, global expertise, and innovative solutions to Tanzanian clients. Notably, while the Company will operate under the NTT DATA brand, the legal entity will remain the same, Dimension Data Tanzania.

Commenting on the rebrand, NTT DATA Managing Director for East Africa Richard Hechle said the rebranding positions NTT DATA in Tanzania to harness the full capabilities of the global NTT DATA network, the fifth largest technology company in the world, with a presence in 57 countries.

Through this integration, NTT DATA Tanzania will provide clients with a robust ecosystem of 80 data centers across 20 countries, leveraging global best practices to deliver industry-specific solutions across sectors, including finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and manufacturing.

“Becoming part of the NTT DATA brand is a significant milestone, not only for our team but also for our clients and partners in Tanzania. This evolution enables us to deliver advanced technology solutions that are backed by NTT DATA’s strong R&D investments and cutting-edge platforms, ensuring our clients remain at the forefront of digital transformation,” Hechle said.

He noted that the rebranding aligns with NTT DATA’s strategy of driving growth across the Middle East and Africa region through a comprehensive portfolio of services that includes consulting, applications, infrastructure, connectivity, and operational support. As part of this shift, NTT DATA is committed to accelerating digital transformation in a way that is both sustainable and inclusive, supporting clients with innovative solutions that address today’s challenges while future-proofing their businesses.

Meanwhile, NTT DATA Tanzania Country Manager Gloria Kimasa noted that the Company’s clients in the country will now have access to an expanded suite of solutions, including Managed Campus Networks, multi-cloud-as-a-service, and advanced collaboration tools like Operator Connect.

“These offerings will enable us to deliver a more differentiated, consistent, and enhanced client experience, helping organizations in Tanzania to thrive in an increasingly interconnected digital world," she said.

The transition also underscores NTT DATA’s dedication to talent development within Tanzania, aiming to equip its workforce with the skills necessary to stay ahead of evolving technology trends. “With this rebrand, we are not only elevating our brand presence but also investing in the people who drive our success," Kimasa noted. "By focusing on career growth and upskilling, we are preparing our team to lead in delivering innovative solutions that address the unique needs of our local market."

NTT DATA will be looking to capitalize on emerging opportunities, particularly in services, as the technology sector increasingly shifts from product-focused offerings to service-oriented solutions. Key areas for growth include cloud services, cybersecurity, and data management, where NTT DATA has already made significant strides through partnerships with global leaders like Microsoft and Amazon Web Services.

Kimasa emphasized that the Company was committed to being a trusted technology partner for Tanzania, leading with innovation, agility, and a deep understanding of local and global markets. This rebranding marks the beginning of a new era, blending the legacy of Dimension Data with the forward-thinking vision of NTT DATA.
