NCS announces six partnerships with global tech players

The partnerships with AWS, Dell Technologies, Google Cloud, Databricks, NVIDIA, and Sunline will focus on AI development and deployment in Asia Pacific.

At the NCS Impact Forum, NCS announced six strategic partnerships with leading global technology players. These partnerships with AWS, Dell Technologies, Google Cloud, Databricks, NVIDIA, and Sunline will focus on AI development and deployment in the Asia Pacific region as the technology service provider looks to cater to increasing demands.

According to the NCS Impact 2025 whitepaper, the global AI landscape is no longer on a single track. As there is a steady bifurcation of technology stacks, governance models and digital ecosystems – a divergence often framed as East verses West. From foundational models and AI chips to data localization laws and platform regulation, fragmentation is real.

However, NCS is hoping that a pragmatic convergence is achieved from the tech development instead of an East meets West conflict, especially with the opportunity in the diversified APAC region.

“Internationalization means building a world where technology transcends borders, where best practices are shared, and where strong technology partners come together to create strong value for clients,” the report stated.

This is why NCS believes the partnerships announced today will enable them to help clients navigate a world where no single AI stack dominates and no one size fits all solution can lead.

“This is how we make internationalization practical, not theoretical: by building, localizing and scaling AI solutions across regional boundaries.”

Amazon Web Services

With AWS, NCS has signed Singapore’s first multi-year GenAI Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with the vendor to enable the rapid deployment of secure GenAI solutions that enhance efficiency, workforce enablement, and customer experience. The SCA built upon the NCS x AWS GenAi Center of Excellence for Public Good initiative that was launched last year. Public sector organizations can accelerate their AI initiatives from prototype to production through the expertise of 50 NCS GenAI specialists with additional expertise from the AWS Generative AI Innovation Centre.

“Our expanded partnership with AWS uniquely positions NCS to help our public and private sector customers innovate at scale with GenAI while ensuring compliance and security. By combining NCS’ deep industry expertise and proven delivery methodologies with AWS’s advanced cloud and AI technologies, we are enabling our customers to deliver impactful business outcomes using GenAI,” commented Sam Liew, Chief Executive, Gov+ & Deputy CEO, NCS.

For Elsie Tan, Country Manager, Worldwide Public Sector, Singapore, AWS’s specialized services and expertise will enable NCS to implement practical generative AI solutions that help public sector agencies move generative AI workloads from theory to production and deliver measurably better outcomes and services for citizens.

Dell Technologies

On the partnership with Dell Technologies, NCS is collaborating with the vendor to accelerate AI adoption across APAC by developing next-generation AI engineers. Dell has trained a significant number of NCS AI engineers and is committed to expanding that effort over the next year, backed by a multimillion-dollar investment. These engineers will help enterprises manage real-world AI workloads, including agentic and generative AI, turning ideas into scalable and production-ready solutions.

"Building on Singapore’s AI-forward vision and robust digital infrastructure, our collaboration with NCS allows us to empower organizations across Asia with critical resources to seize the potential of AI.

NCS and Google Cloud have established a joint AI and Digital Resilience (AI+DR) Specialist Team, dedicated to accelerating clients' implementation of applied AI solutions. By leveraging NCS' proprietary AI+DR framework, NCS and Google Cloud will jointly empower businesses to advance their AI maturity, deploy large-scale AI workloads securely, and transform their operations with unparalleled speed.

"We're driven to help every organisation effectively deploy purpose-built, custom AI solutions to meet specific needs and realize even greater ROI. Our joint AI and Digital Resilience (AI+DR) Specialist Team and NCS’s involvement in the AI CTO programme will provide organizations with direct, dedicated access to a pool of experts highly skilled in security and Google Cloud’s industry-leading platforms, such as Vertex AI, Google Agentspace, and BigQuery, to rapidly develop and implement applied AI solutions,” said Serene Sia, Country Director, Singapore and Malaysia, Google Cloud.

Sia also highlighted NCS' proven ability to navigate complex integrations and enterprise governance, making them an ideal partner for delivering secure, scalable, and measurable outcomes. As such, Sia believes both NCS and Google are eliminating barriers to enterprise AI innovation and empowering businesses to forge their next competitive edge.

Databricks

The partnership with Databricks see NCS as the vendor’s first partner in ASEAN, Australia and Greater China to develop service offerings, leveraging recently announced SAP Databricks solutions and NCS’ in-house expertise. NCS will roll out a suite of Databricks accelerators for the finance, energy, and utilities sectors, enabling clients to deploy AI solutions more rapidly, reducing project risk and cost. As part of this collaboration, Databricks will also invest in upskilling NCS practitioners across the region and contribute technical expertise.

“By combining NCS’s deep industry knowledge with the power of the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, we are enabling organizations across Asia Pacific and Japan to better unify their SAP data with enterprise data, accelerate innovation, and achieve measurable business impact. Our shared commitment to building Databricks skills with NCS practitioners and jointly developing tailored accelerators will help fast-track deployments, reduce risk, and unlock greater value for our customers, particularly in government, finance, energy, and utilities sectors,” said Greg Taylor, Vice President of Partners, APJ, Databricks.

NVIDIA

With NVIDIA, NCS has developed three agentic AI solutions on NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. NCS KAI Video Search and Summarisation Platform (KAI SnS) enables rapid extraction of insights from multiple video sources or live feeds by identifying objects, incidents, and key topics – achieving speeds up to 80x faster than the traditional review process with AI Agents.

NCS Sunshine.Operations for MLOps and AIOps uses intelligent agents to automate AI operations across data, models and pipelines to enable full AI/ML lifecycle automation, scalability, faster deployments and real-time issue resolution, leading to productivity improvement. NCS AgentCanvas is a framework that accelerates agentic AI creation and deployment by translating domain expertise into functional, deployment-ready AI agents.
