NTT DATA has partnered with Cursor to advance Enterprise Modernization and AI Governance across its global software engineering and delivery operations. NTT DATA will use Cursor’s AI agents to improve software development, accelerate modernization projects, and strengthen governance controls for enterprise environments.
AI-Native Engineering Drives Faster Enterprise Transformation
The collaboration facilitates NTT DATA’s transformation into an AI-first service provider. With the inclusion of AI technology in the engineering processes, the organization will be able to transform the legacy applications much more rapidly and ensure consistent performance throughout projects. The project will enable customers to speed up the cloud and AI transformation process with better governance practices.
This collaboration will help NTT DATA to use AI in its engineering environment as well. Development teams can build, modernize, and manage their enterprise applications efficiently. Integrating AI agents into development processes helps organizations align modernization initiatives with broader enterprise AI strategies.
“Enterprise modernization is no longer just about moving systems to the cloud—it is about reimagining how software is built and operated in the age of AI,” said Abhijit Dubey, CEO and Chief AI Officer, NTT DATA, Inc. “Through our partnership with Cursor, we will use AI in the core of our engineering and delivery model, enabling us to modernize faster, improve consistency at scale and deliver greater value to clients. By applying these capabilities inside our own business first, we can help organizations adopt AI with greater confidence, governance and measurable impact.”
Cursor provides a multi-model AI coding platform that embeds advanced AI agents directly into developer environments. These agents can write, review, refactor, and modernize code while maintaining visibility across entire codebases. For NTT DATA, these capabilities bring AI-powered acceleration into its global engineering model while strengthening AI Governance across enterprise software development and modernization initiatives.
The platform also offers organization-wide privacy mode, Single Sign-On, centralized administration, granular agent controls, and audit-ready policy enforcement. Consequently, enterprises can modernize applications more efficiently while maintaining trust, compliance, and operational control. These capabilities further support AI Governance by helping organizations enforce policies and manage AI-driven development at scale.
“NTT DATA is putting AI at the core of how engineers modernize complex systems,” said Jordan Topoleski, Chief Operating Officer, Cursor. “By pairing Cursor agents with enterprise-grade governance and structured enablement, NTT DATA is proving how AI changes the way software gets built and delivered at global scale, and we are proud to support their teams as they bring it to enterprises worldwide.”
For enterprise customers, the collaboration is expected to accelerate the modernization of legacy applications and support responsible AI adoption. Moreover, organizations can implement AI-driven development practices while ensuring alignment with enterprise-wide AI strategies.
NTT DATA has already started deploying Cursor Enterprise to priority engineering teams. The company plans to expand adoption globally as usage grows. NTT DATA intends to establish a Cursor Center of Excellence to scale these capabilities across industries and business units.
NTT DATA strengthens its focus on Enterprise Modernization and AI Governance, helping enterprises modernize systems, accelerate innovation, and adopt AI with greater confidence.
