Revenue: £94.2m (+28%)

Net profit: 8% Staff: 312

Bolstered by its April 2019 acquisition of Bury-based Weavability, the UK arm of this global SAP partner - formerly known as Itelligence - saw revenues hike by over a quarter to £94.2m in calendar 2019 (its 2020 accounts were impending as Top VARs went to press). Net profits bulged from £6.3m to £7.5m. Globally, Germany-based NTT Data Business Solutions turned over €1.07bn in 2020. Boasting 10,350 staff, it claims to have delivered over 460 SAP S/4HANA projects.

Covid impact

NTT Data Business Solutions defied the pandemic - as well as unfavourable exchange rate effects - to record 3.2 per cent growth last year on a global basis. Revenues were "down significantly" in its Q3, however, due to slower spending among manufacturing customers.
