NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and IT services, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire WinWire, an award-winning Microsoft partner specializing in Agentic AI, AI on Azure, data engineering and cloud-native development as foundational capabilities for enterprise AI. The acquisition strengthens NTT DATA’s position as a trusted partner to help organizations move beyond experimentation to operationalize AI at scale.
The acquisition further advances NTT DATA’s enterprise AI strategy as demand accelerates for AI-driven, cloud-native transformation. By expanding capabilities across data platforms, agentic AI and modern applications, NTT DATA is sharpening its ability to deliver production-ready AI solutions aligned to industry needs, reinforcing its leadership as Microsoft’s Global System Integrator (GSI) Growth Champion Partner of the Year.
Upon closing, WinWire will add more than 1,000 skilled Azure engineers and Microsoft specialists to NTT DATA, bringing deep experience across Microsoft environments, including Microsoft Fabric and Azure AI Foundry. This expanded talent base will strengthen NTT DATA’s global Microsoft practice and accelerate the delivery of next‑generation AI and cloud solutions.
These expanded capabilities, combined with WinWire’s proven industry specialization and long‑standing partnership with Microsoft, will enhance NTT DATA’s ability to deliver industry‑specific, cloud‑native and agentic AI solutions that address complex business challenges securely and consistently.
As enterprises increasingly demand AI platforms that support enterprise-wide transformation, industry analysts estimate the global AI market will grow from $390 billion to nearly $3.5 trillion over the next decade, highlighting the scale of AI adoption across enterprises.
By combining NTT DATA’s full-stack capabilities, industry expertise and managed services with WinWire’s specialized strengths in modern applications, data engineering and agentic AI, the company is uniquely positioned to help clients develop and scale AI solutions and unlock value from AI across the enterprise.
Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, with global delivery centers in India, WinWire is a trusted Microsoft partner and a six‑time Microsoft Partner of the Year Award winner and finalist, supporting enterprises in establishing AI‑ready digital foundations and scaling intelligent, cloud‑based solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes.
“The acquisition of WinWire is a decisive step in advancing our enterprise AI strategy and expanding our leadership in Microsoft Azure and AI-powered cloud transformation,” said Abhijit Dubey, CEO and Chief AI Officer, NTT DATA, Inc. “By combining WinWire’s deep expertise in cloud-native development and agentic AI with NTT DATA’s global scale, this positions us to lead the shift to enterprise AI, enabling clients to move from experimentation to enterprise-wide deployment and achieve meaningful business outcomes.”
Building on NTT DATA’s strategic partnership with Microsoft

WinWire is also a member of the Microsoft Agentic Partner Alliance Program, further strengthening joint innovation and execution for industry-specific AI solutions.
WinWire will complement NTT DATA’s Global Business Unit for Microsoft Cloud, established to meet rising demand for secure, AI-driven enterprise transformation. The business unit spans Microsoft Cloud, security and AI, supported by more than 24,000 Microsoft certifications and operates across more than 50 countries.
The combined capabilities also reinforce NTT DATA’s ability to co-innovate and co-sell with Microsoft, building on its recognition as Microsoft’s 2025 Global System Integrator Growth Champion partner of the year.
“As a leading Microsoft Solutions Partner recognized through multiple awards over the years, we built WinWire with a clear focus on delivering meaningful Microsoft Azure and AI-led transformation for our enterprise clients,” said Ashu Goel, CEO, WinWire. “Joining NTT DATA marks an exciting new chapter, allowing us to extend our capabilities to a much broader global client base.
