NTT DATA Business Solutions, a leading global IT service provider focused on SAP, today announced the signing of an agreementto acquire SPRO IT Solutions, a leading SAP provider in the agribusiness industry in Brazil. The terms of the acquisition have been finalized and will be completed following approval from the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE).
Founded in 2008, SPRO is a national agribusiness leader, with expertise across key production chains including grain origination, animal protein, agricultural inputs, seeds, retail, and biofuels. Serving cooperatives, agro-industries, seed companies and trading firms across Brazil, the company promotes intelligent integration across all aspects of the agribusiness chain, from field to end consumer. As a SAP Gold Partner, SPRO collaborates with major global technology players including SAP, AWS, Microsoft, and Google, accelerating the strategic digitalization of its clients and solidifying its position as one of the leading references in innovation applied to Brazilian agribusiness.
“Brazil is among the top ten global markets for IT services, with agribusiness playing a leading role across many regions of the country. By welcoming SPRO into our organization, we are not only strengthening our SAP capabilities in a key industry, but also deepening our commitment to innovation and sustainable growth in the region. SPRO’s proven expertise and strong customer relationships will help us deliver greater value to our clients and accelerate our global strategy”, said Norbert Rotter, CEO, NTT DATA Business Solutions AG.
SPRO is dedicated to driving end-to-end digital transformation for agribusiness, providing a software platform and services that support operational efficiency, governance, and productive sustainability. Operating in the South, Southeast, Midwest, and North regions of Brazil - where the sector’s main players are concentrated - the company has become a technology leader in agribusiness. The company offers proprietary solutions on the SAP Store and holds various certifications and recognitions, such as the SAP Delivery Excellence Award, which reinforce its leadership, credibility, and commitment to innovation in the sector.
“This acquisition creates new opportunities for cross-selling and upselling, leveraging the strengths of both organizations. SPRO will join our Global Centersof Excellence, fostering knowledge exchange and driving productivity. Agribusiness is a fundamental pillar of the Brazilian economy, representing around 29.4% of the national GDP and accounting for a significant share of the country’s exports. With SPRO’s expertise in SAP for key agribusiness production chains and global collaboration with other NTT DATA units, we will further enhance our ability to deliver innovative solutions and support our international expansion,” said Ricardo Fachin, Managing Director, NTT DATA Business Solutions Brazil.
Almir Miguel Meinerz, CEO at SPRO, comments: “With over 350 employees, our mission is to drive technological innovation in agribusiness, transforming data into intelligence and delivering tangible results for our clients. Joining NTT DATA Business Solutions marks an important milestone for SPRO, our team, and the entire ecosystem of clients and partners we’ve built over 17 years. We are excited by the opportunity to develop joint solutions for SAP clients, expand our market-recognized offerings, and accelerate our growth both in Brazil and beyond.”
The acquisition of SPRO will add around 70 customers to the portfolio of NTT DATA Business Solutions. The company will become a subsidiary of NTT DATA Business Solutions – Serviços de Tecnologia Ltda. in Brazil and will operate as an independent company after the acquisition, using the brand name “SPRO, an NTT DATA Company“.
