NTT DATA Strengthens Its Presence in Brazilian Agribusiness Through SPRO Acquisition

On December 3, 2025, NTT DATA Business Solutions, a prominent global IT service provider focusing on SAP solutions, announced a significant step towards enhancing its capabilities in the agribusiness sector of Brazil. The company signed an agreement to acquire SPRO IT Solutions, a recognized leader in SAP services within the agribusiness industry.

About SPRO

Founded in 2008, SPRO has established itself as an essential player in Brazil's agribusiness landscape, boasting expertise across several critical production chains. These include grain sourcing, animal protein, agricultural inputs, seeds, retail, and biofuels. The company's extensive client base spans cooperatives, agro-industries, seed companies, and trading firms, engaging in an intelligent integration of the agribusiness value chain from production to the end consumer. SPRO is not only a SAP Gold Partner but also collaborates with major tech giants like AWS, Microsoft, and Google, expediting the digital transformation of its clients and setting the standard for innovation in Brazilian agribusiness.

Strengthening Capabilities and Commitment to Innovation

Norbert Rotter, CEO of NTT DATA Business Solutions AG, emphasized the strategic importance of this acquisition. “Brazil ranks among the top ten IT service markets globally, with agribusiness being a vital component of many regions. Integrating SPRO into our organization will not only enhance our SAP capabilities but deepen our commitment to innovation and sustainable growth in this critical sector. SPRO's proven expertise and robust customer relationships will allow us to provide greater value and accelerate our global strategy,” he stated.

SPRO's dedication to digital transformation enables the company to provide essential software platforms and services that boost operational efficiency, governance, and sustainability in agribusiness. With its operations concentrated in Brazil's South, Southeast, Midwest, and North regions, SPRO holds a leadership position in agricultural technology and offers proprietary solutions that are available on the SAP Store. The company's accolades, including the SAP Delivery Excellence Award, highlight its credibility and commitment to continued innovation in the industry.

New Opportunities and Market Expansion

The acquisition is poised to create new opportunities for both NTT DATA and SPRO, particularly in areas of cross-selling and upselling, harnessing the strengths of each organization. SPRO will integrate into NTT DATA's Global Centers of Excellence, facilitating knowledge exchange and enhancing productivity. With agribusiness representing about 29.4% of Brazil's GDP and a large share of its exports, the combined strengths of NTT DATA and SPRO will lead to innovative solutions, supporting international expansion and fulfilling a significant role in the economy.

Ricardo Fachin, Managing Director of NTT DATA Business Solutions Brazil, noted, “With SPRO's deep expertise in SAP for key agribusiness chains, we will enhance our innovative capabilities. This acquisition is not just about expanding our customer base but about fostering sustainable growth and innovation.”

CEO of SPRO, Almir Miguel Meinerz, expressed enthusiasm about the merger. “With over 350 employees, our mission has always been to drive technological innovation in agribusiness. Becoming part of NTT DATA represents a pivotal moment for our team and our extensive ecosystem built over 17 years. We are eager to develop joint solutions and expand our offerings in Brazil and beyond.”

Upon completing the acquisition, SPRO will add around 70 additional customers to NTT DATA Business Solutions. It will operate as a subsidiary named
