T-Systems Completes Transfer of Operations to Telekom Deutschland’s B2B Unit

The strategic changes for Deutsche Telekom's business clients, announced in December 2019 by Adel Al-Saleh, CEO T-Systems, come into effect on July 1, 2020. 

As part of the transformation of T-Systems, Adel Al-Saleh announced the company’s focus on IT and digitization solutions and the integration of T-Systems’ telecommunications services into Telekom Deutschland’s B2B unit.

Consequently, 3,000 T-Systems employees in Germany who were responsible for telecommunications and public sector are to transfer to a new subsidiary of Telekom Deutschland. Outside Germany, Deutsche Telekom has established more than a dozen new national companies for local telecommunications businesses. In 24 countries, 5,000 additional T-Systems employees are transferring to the new subsidiaries of Telekom Deutschland. Deutsche Telekom is also bundling its business with international network operators (Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier) and the management of international networks (Network Infrastructure). As a result, small and large business customers and multinational corporations will be served worldwide with an integrated telecommunications portfolio from Telekom Deutschland GmbH. 

T-Systems continues to be the largest IT service provider in Germany and a leading international market player. The new positioning sharpens T-Systems’ focus on the development, implementation, integration and operation of private and public infrastructures and applications, including strategic digitization and the related transformation solutions.
