Numerous foreign IT powerhouses, as well as homegrown challengers, make the home market of NTT Singapore (NTTS) an intensely competitive environment for general, differentiated and specialized IT services. NTTS is evolving to ensure that it is constantly able to meet current and future market demands.

NTT established its foothold in Singapore by setting up a representative office in 1989. The next year, the Singapore Branch Office of NTT International opened its doors to provide services including system integration, network integration and maintenance.

NTTS was founded as a wholly owned subsidiary in 1997 to introduce NTT Com's Arcstar Network and leased-line services, and began providing hosting, co-location and managed services when it launched the Internet Data Centre in 2001.

We have been successfully providing corporate and enterprise network solutions for many years both to Singapore-based multinationals and local companies. As part of developing other sectors of the market, we have supplied managed application and network services to the Singapore Government as well as broadband content streaming services between Japan and Singapore for the Japanese Government.

NTTS caters to market requirements for localized and global services for Singapore-based multinationals as well as local companies. The NTTS Outsourcing Business Division continues to provide system integration and a full range of onsite and remote maintenance services, while our IP Business Division provides ISP, IDC and managed IP network services.

We are committed to organizing our operations and processes to meet the current and future state of the Singapore market. The demand for new IP services, such as managed security, VoIP and IP-VPN, is rising fast even among traditional brick-and-mortar industries. We aim to capitalize on this trend by helping customers address needs for greater cost-effectiveness and security.
