NTT DATA is in the process of acquiring The Cloud People Group AS. Founded in 2019, The Cloud People is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, with offices across northern Europe, the U.S. and Brazil, and will become part of NTT DATA Business Solutions, a business unit of NTT DATA.
Providing ServiceNow solutions for medium and large enterprises, The Cloud People delivers services across multiple workflows including IT service management, incident, problem and change management, automation of routine tasks, resource planning, onboarding and offboarding of employees, as well as customer service and security operations. The acquisition of The Cloud People will add 130 active customers to NTT DATA Business Solutions’ portfolio.
The Cloud People has a dedicated AI Center of Excellence, which has allegedly delivered measurable results for more than 20 clients across Northern Europe.
Norbert Rotter, CEO of NTT DATA Business Solutions, commented:
“With the acquisition of The Cloud People, we are strengthening our presence in the Nordics and Central Europe. SAP remains at the core of our business. By combining our more than 35 years of deep SAP expertise with The Cloud People’s proven strength in ServiceNow we are expanding our portfolio with complementary services. I am confident that The Cloud People’s dynamic growth and commitment to excellence perfectly align with our values of economic stability and outstanding service.”
Nicolaj Vang Jessen, Executive Managing Director Consulting GIIC and Nordics & Eastern Europe, NTT DATA Business Solutions, adds: “The Cloud People is an ideal addition to our ServiceNow portfolio and opens new opportunities for us in Northern Europe. Together, we will focus on leveraging synergies and integrating the expertise of The Cloud People’s more than 300 consultants into NTT DATA Business Solutions.”
Bjørn Jarl, CEO of The Cloud People, has stated:
“For The Cloud People, this means achieving growth with stability that no financial investor could provide, along with a platform for expansion that surpasses even our most ambitious expectations. NTT DATA Business Solutions is a Top Employer-certified organisation with deep process and industry expertise, completing our ServiceNow proposition as the Platform of Platforms.”
Both organisations are committed to co-developing and marketing AI-powered solutions that enable large-scale automation and operational efficiency. This strengthened alliance provides a robust platform for NTT DATA Business Solutions and The Cloud People to collaborate in driving innovation and delivering next-generation, AI-enabled ServiceNow offerings to customers worldwide.
The Cloud People will operate as an independent company after the acquisition, using the brand name “The Cloud People, an NTT DATA Business Solutions company”.
