About Jimmy Dickinson

I’m a solutions-oriented problem solver to my core. Over the past 19 years at NTT DATA Business Solutions, I’ve helped customers across numerous industries navigate challenges, from managing spending to defining a technology roadmap. I lead with empathy and use my industry-specific knowledge to design and implement stronger solutions so my customers can overcome their greatest roadblocks. As a Vice President of Industry, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to gain experience in every aspect of the ERP selection cycle and solution implementation through customer-facing engagements. Right now, my work focuses on four things. First, I am a part of a team that builds the initial connection with our prospects and customers. By simply listening to someone, human to human, I can understand their pain points and what they’d like to achieve for their business. Second, I focus on finding the right technology for my customers’ obstacles. Whether it’s tracking inventory more efficiently, identifying why customer retention is declining, or discovering the value of raw material goods, I’m up for the challenge to define the solution to tackle it. Third, I help design our products and offerings. I use my industry knowledge and understanding of my customers and their goals to help develop repeatable solutions that directly address a customer’s needs. And fourth, I lead a team of amazing people who serve our customers, focus on value, and define amazing solutions. While the majority of my job focuses on technology, my success comes from thinking critically about the people who will use that technology. It’s really about the people that interact with it, from the service rep on the phone with a customer to the procurement specialist engaging with a global supply chain. The technology is there to innovate how people work, and I am there to ensure they have guidance and quality support along the way. Ultimately, I strive to architect and implement the SAP solutions that are going to make life easier and business better.
