Tokyo, June 12, 2020 – NTT DATA, a leading IT services provider, today announced the official launch of its NTT DATA Design Network. While the company has long utilized its 16 global design studios¹ and large workforce of dedicated designers, the formal establishment of the network builds upon the company's expertise in service design by strengthening its ability to quickly, cohesively and consistently deliver solutions to clients.

In addition to the Design Network, NTT DATA is introducing a new community of designers in several markets, including UK, Germany, Italy and Tokyo. With the brand Tangity (designed by designers, for designers), this group is chartered to enable effective and efficient collaboration between the company's design network studios and third-party companies to create products and services with a positive impact on humanity.
