Case Study: Mizkan Holdings achieves rapid six-month global IT integration with NTT Communications' hybrid cloud and managed services

Global IT environment created with a hybrid cloud just six months after acquiring the global brand

Mizkan Holdings, a historic Japanese food manufacturer that accelerated global expansion through major acquisitions (including U.S. brands Ragu and Bertolli), faced the challenge of building a standardized global IT environment from scratch. With only six months under the transition service agreement to migrate systems and data and limited internal IT resources, Mizkan needed core infrastructure (including SAP), a global network, and 24/7 multilingual support to integrate new businesses and meet tight contractual deadlines.

Mizkan partnered with NTT Com to deploy a hybrid cloud (Enterprise Cloud plus colocation), Arcstar Universal One WAN connectivity, and NTT Com’s Super Help Desk, enabling rapid construction and secure data transfer. The result: a fully operational global IT environment delivered within six months, standardized systems and governance, low-latency global links, scalable infrastructure for future expansion, and unified 24/7 multilingual support.
