NEC Corporation and NEC Technologies India (NTI) have launched a Center of Excellence for Analytics Platform & Solutions (COE-APS) that will promote solutions and services of NEC’s Data Platform for Hadoop (DPH), a big data and analytics platform.
The COE-APS will simplify digital transformation and act as a one stop shop for both customers and partners in the telecom, retail, banking, financial services, insurance and manufacturing sectors, as well as government organisations. NEC aims to achieve revenues of more than US$100 million within three years of the COE-APS’ establishment, which is being set up with an overall investment of US$10 million over the same period.
The COE-APS will initially focus on markets that include Japan, India, Singapore, Philippines and Hong Kong, then gradually expand services throughout Asia Pacific (APAC) and other regions.
NEC plans to organise a team of 100 professionals within the first few years to support the centre as the big data & analytics market is expected to reach US$210 billion by 2020*. With the industry already facing a shortage in talent, specifically in Hadoop and analytics areas, the establishment of the COE-APS will help NEC to leverage India’s strong talent base.
Moreover, the COE-APS will leverage the computational power and scalability of NEC’s specialised hardware for big data & analytics in order to handle the increasing demand for storage and computation by Hadoop.
The DPH features open source Hadoop from Hortonworks, as well as an analytics and business intelligence layer, making it a first-of-its-kind solution-in-a-box.
NEC has an accomplished record of contributing to national projects in India, including the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which is aligned with the Government’s Digital India initiative. For the DMIC, NEC established a Logistics Data Bank (LDB) that tracks almost 70% of containers in India.
“The key to success for organisations today is to make fast and informed decisions by extracting insights out of the huge volumes of data that are available to them. The new Center of Excellence is an important step towards utilising big data analytics and NEC’s Data Platform for Hadoop to provide benefits for government bodies and enterprises in India and across the world,” said Tomoyasu Nishimura, Senior VP, NEC. “Going forward, we aim to continue driving digital transformation for industries of all sizes and markets.”
NTI is a 100% subsidiary of NEC Corporation. NTI has been operating in India since October 2005, providing product development, global product maintenance and global business enablement services. NTI has its head office in Noida, India and another office in Bengaluru, India. Other branch offices are in Japan, US and Singapore.
