NTT Data

[WTFH]

My experience with Keane/Caritor and their new brand (NTT Data in UK) is based in working with them in UK. Not talking about NTT Japan they may be like Sony/Toyota.

The "new brand" you refer to has been in existence for over 4 years, so it would appear that your experience is from a long time ago if you still call them by a defunct company name.

Keane is a sub-brand of the US division of NTT Data, all the UK work has been rebranded as NTT Data for a few years, in fact checking companies house, Keane UK Ltd is dissolved and all assets were sold and transferred to NTT Data UK on 31/03/13.

So, none of the software/consultancy/outsourcing in the UK is done by Keane.
And NTT Data are nothing like TCS/Wipro/etc.

Apart from that, there's (maybe) some truth in Darren's post.

(I should add that my experience of NTT is not based on Wikipedia or hearsay, but working with them in some of their Tokyo offices)

Most of software/consultancy/outsourcing side of NTT Data comes from Keane. Keane is a subsidiary of NTT Data after acquisition in 2011. Keane itself was the outcome of merger with Caritor in 2007. Caritor acquired Keane but decided to rename new entity as Keane. From software consulting side they are just another outsourcer like Accenture/Wipro/Infosys/TCS.

Having worked with TCS, Wipro and Accenture I don't believe it's fair to lump them together.

TCS/Wipro could not plan their way out of a paper bag.

It all depends who the endclient is. If it's Virgin Media NO NO NO

[WTFH]

NTT were/are part of Dell aren't they?

Current ClientCo uses them for offshore support. Freakin' awful consultants they have offshore. But then I guess that's not a surprise to anyone here

NTT Data bought out Dell Services last year.

NTT were never part of Dell. NTT are way too big.

Thanks WTFH and VWDan

I've not worked directly for them, but I have done projects with and on behalf of them. As above, they aren't an "agency".

They're freaking huge - I wouldn't have any concerns regarding payment etc. Can't speak to conditions on the ground, though as I was sheltered from that side.

[WTFH]

They aren't an agency, they are part of NTT, one of the biggest companies in Japan.
Part of NTT Data is a consultancy division. Without knowing the role you were applying for, I suspect you would be working for them but delivering work to end clients.

If they are anything like their parent company, you should have no problem with payments.

Hello.

Does anyone have any feedback on this company/agency...good, bad or ugly? The usual such as contract friendly, payments etc.

I may have an opportunity through them and have never used them before (they seem a large-ish company) and can find little information on this site for them as an agency.

Thanks
