T-Systems is the business customer brand of Deutsche Telekom. With our 56,000 employees, we offer – as one of few worldwide service providers – integrated ICT solutions from a single source. And we view that integration as more than just IT plus telecommunications. We speak of “Real ICT”, because we start with an integrated approach to Information and Communications solutions right from the development stage.
Business flexibility
In doing so, we hold flexibility as a core value for business success. For example, we provide our customers ICT solutions as Dynamic Services – which means according to their current needs. For this, they lease software, hardware, computing services and storage capacity as well as telecommunications services directly from the network. In this way, our customers synchronize ICT with the course of their business development. That makes them adaptable so they can react quickly to new market challenges. With T-Systems as a partner, companies can focus on their core business, optimize processes and reduce costs. In short, we help you become more flexible.
ICT resources and applications delivered in line with the ever-changing requirements of your business. Enjoy the benefits of greater flexibility and lower costs.
Mergers and acquisitions, additional subsidiaries, seasonal fluctuations: the quicker you respond to changing market conditions, the more profitable your business.
Say goodbye to overcapacity, and hello to greater flexibility: infrastructure, computing power, databases, and applications – SAP® applications in particular.
Only pay for what you use, and enjoy significant savings.
We know the value of the people who work for T-Systems – and we know that only motivated teams are successful teams. That is why we reward our employees with top benefits. Whether just starting out in a fresh career or making a career change, for interns and new graduates, trainees or student workers alike. For those who have already been in our crew for a long time no less than for those just now getting on board.
If you belong to our company, then you work as part of reliable teams that take up challenges with genuine enthusiasm, delivering high performance solutions for our customers. We call that “T-Spirit”
Major Contract for Global Cloud Computing: Philips to rely on IT technology from T-Systems
-Amsterdam / Frankfurt am Main, December 07, 2009-
Royal Philips Electronics, a world leader in healthcare, lifestyle and lighting, and T-Systems have signed a contract in Amsterdam for global data center and SAP infrastructure services. The service model for the contract involves ‘cloud computing’: T-Systems will provide services for Philips via a ‘private cloud’, a separate, secure network. With this contract, T-Systems, a Deutsche Telekom subsidiary, continues its international growth and solidifies its position as a leading provider of SAP services.
The outsourcing contract is part of Philips' IT strategy to leverage utility market offerings. The diversified Health and Well-being company is consolidating and modernizing its IT systems in an effort to cut long-term costs.
As of 1 January 2010, T-Systems will assume responsibility for the infrastructure of all of Philips' computer centers. Among the centers are locations in the U.S. and the Netherlands, as well as centers in Germany, in other European countries and in South America and Asia. In connection with the contract, some 185 of the company's staff will move to T-Systems.
Data center services tailored to requirements
In future, Philips will receive all – and precisely – the data center services it requires via the network and from T-Systems’ global data centers. "This way, we can draw on resources dynamically, as necessary, while paying only for the computer and storage resources we actually use. That will enhance our flexibility and lower our costs," notes Maarten de Vries, Chief Information Officer (CIO) of Philips. "I am delighted that in T-Systems we have found a strong partner which thoroughly understands this innovative technology and which can serve us worldwide."
The contract with Philips is the third – following contracts with Shell and Heineken – that T-Systems has landed in rapid succession with global corporations based in the Netherlands. "The contract we have just signed is another important milestone in our international growth strategy. And it confirms that T-Systems is the number one choice for globally operating corporations based in Europe," notes Reinhard Clemens, Member of the Deutsche Telekom Board of Management and CEO of T-Systems.
T-Systems and Philips already cooperate closely in the health-care sector. For example, they have developed a system for remote monitoring of vital functions of chronically ill and elderly people. That system is currently in service in T-City Friedrichshafen.
