Salesforce and NTT DATA expand Japan and APAC partnership for joint Agentforce AI agent deployments. NTT DATA's APAC enterprise relationships and Japanese-language implementation capacity provide the distribution channel Salesforce needs for Agentforce penetration in Japan.
Salesforce and NTT DATA have expanded their Japan and APAC strategic partnership to accelerate enterprise deployments of Agentforce — Salesforce's AI agent platform — across Japan, Australia, and Southeast Asia. The partnership combines Salesforce's AI platform capabilities with NTT DATA's deep APAC enterprise relationships, Japanese-language implementation expertise, and regional professional services capacity.
The partnership is strategically significant for Salesforce's APAC growth because it leverages NTT DATA's established trust relationships with Japanese and APAC enterprises that prefer local-language implementation partners with proven enterprise delivery track records. Japanese enterprises in particular favour established system integrators with domain expertise over direct vendor implementation — NTT DATA's position as Japan's leading IT services company provides the implementation channel that Salesforce needs for Agentforce penetration in Japan's large enterprise market. For APAC enterprises evaluating Agentforce, the NTT DATA partnership means Japanese-language implementation support and local business process expertise are available through a single engagement — addressing the language and cultural barriers that previously slowed Salesforce adoption in Japanese enterprise contexts.
