NEW DELHI: The $7 billion Japanese systems integrator NTT DATA has engaged

NIIT, the global eBusiness solutions corp, to create a business-to-consumer

communication portal. The details of this $2 million order were finalized by the

two companies in Tokyo recently. The portal will enable individuals to log on to

this site using mobile phones or computers to post and retrieve information or

avail other services. This value-added system will be one of the largest

business-to-consumer portals in Japan and will enable communications between

individuals and companies.

Speaking about this prestigious offshore development order, NIIT Japan

president Kyoji Murakami said, "NTT DATA is a key technology solutions

customer for NIIT and we are proud to be deploying our world-class processes and

creating cutting edge software for building this mission critical, high

performance job search portal for them."

NTT DATA Industrial Systems Sector general manager Dr. Tatsuo Suzuki said,

"NTT DATA is glad to have NIIT as a partner for creating this eCommerce

site. NTT DATA is immensely pleased to be dealing with a technology company like

NIIT that has the capability of creating state-of-the-art eBusiness solutions.

This tie-up will give NTT DATA access to expertise in successfully deploying

large projects for global clients in a time-bound manner."

NIIT has been involved in this project right from the architectural

definition phase and will continue through the implementation stage. As a part

of this project, NIIT will also create the iMode interface, a technology used by

NTT DATA, in this site to enable its accessibility from mobile phones in Japan.

iMode, which is a technology developed by NTT DoCoMo, is used for

telecom-Internet connectivity. The portal will be created deploying technologies

like Java, J2EE, EJB, JSP, WebLogic and Oracle8i on Solaris servers.
