The Rise of GenAI: NTT Data Unleashes the Power of Artificial Intelligence on South African Businesses
Behind the curtains of Johannesburg, a revolution is brewing. NTT Data, the global IT giant, has set its sights on harnessing the power of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to transform the business landscape in South Africa. And the CEO of NTT Data Middle East and Africa, Alan Turnley-Jones, is at the forefront of this technological tornado.
With GenAI, the boundaries between humans and machines are about to be obliterated. This futuristic technology will empower businesses to unlock unprecedented levels of efficiency, productivity, and innovation. But will South African companies be ready to take the leap?
NTT Data, formerly Dimension Data, has been integrating GenAI products and services into its internal and external business operations. And this week, the company announced its bold plan to help more local organisations unlock the maximum potential from GenAI. By leveraging this technology, South African businesses will be able to drive growth, development, and transformation.
But how does it work? According to Turnley-Jones, GenAI is about creating a "GenAI by design" principle that is embedded in every aspect of business operations. It’s about identifying the most innovative use cases and making sure they add value to the organisation.
The demand for GenAI offerings is expected to soar, and NTT Data is well-positioned to capitalise on this trend. With its new cloud-based platform, Syntphony, the company is helping retailers to innovate and digitise business processes, allowing them to keep pace with growing consumer expectations in the digital age.
So, what does the future hold for South African businesses? One thing is certain – the future belongs to those who are willing to embrace GenAI and harness its limitless potential. Will your business be one of the pioneers in this technological revolution? Only time will tell.

Will they be able to keep up with the rapid pace of technological change, or will they be left in the dust? One thing is certain – the future of business belongs to those who are willing to take the leap and embrace the power of GenAI. The clock is ticking – are you ready to join the revolution?
