TOKYO (CBS.MW) -- NTT Data Corp. and New Era
of Networks Inc., a supplier of Internet infrastructure
software and services, are joining to offer a new
computer system integration business in Japan.
Under the agreement, NTT Data will set up a
new business division by the end of this
month to offer Englewood, Colo.-based
NEON's (NEON: news, msgs) software and
services.
By targeting Japanese corporate clients who
want to consolidate computer networks, such
as merger and acquisition accounting, and
personnel, the partners estimate more than
10 billion yen ($95.2 million) in revenue over
the next three years.
"We consider this tie-up as our first step to
enter the EAI (entertainment application
integration) business," said Naohito
Kuranaga, a NTT Data spokesman.
Kuranaga said the company plans to
continue this expansion.
