NEC launches CoE for analytics platform & solutions in India

NEW DELHI, INDIA: NEC Corporation and NEC Technologies India Private Limited (NTI) today launched a Center of Excellence for Analytics Platform & Solutions (CoE-APS), for promoting solutions and services of NEC’s Big Data & Analytics Platform, Data Platform for Hadoop (DPH).

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 that frees customers from the burden of searching for the individual building blocks of big data analytics, and enables them to generate value from the enormous pools of data.

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 organizations.

Moreover, the CoE-APS will leverage the computational power and scalability of NEC’s specialized Hardware for Big Data & Analytics in order to flexibly handle the ever increasing demand for storage and computation by Hadoop.

“The key to success for organizations 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 utilizing 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 Vice President, NEC Corporation. “Going forward, we aim to continue driving digital transformation for industries of all sizes and markets.”

The CoE will initially focus on markets that include Japan, India, Singapore, Philippines and Hong Kong, then gradually expand services throughout APAC and other regions.

NEC also plans to organize a team of 100 professionals within the first few years in order to support these growing operations.

NEC aims to achieve revenue of more than $100M USD within 3 years of the CoE-APS’ establishment, which is being set-up with an overall investment of $10M USD over the same period.
