Deutsche Telekom subsidiary T-Systems has been awarded an oursourcing contract worth more than EUR 400 million in total by the government of Catalan.
T-Systems will be responsible for operating workstation computers and applications, and providing user support. In addition, the Deutsche Telekom subsidiary is to network the public administration sites and provide telecommunications services and the data center infrastructure.
“The deal with Catalonia is one of the biggest deals we have won outside Germany so far,” said Deutsche Telekom Board of Management member and CEO of T-Systems Reinhard Clemens. “The economic situation in European countries is creating a favorable climate for big deals. When longer-term contracts come up for renewal, more and more large enterprises are looking to move partly over to cloud computing. And in Europe we are among the top players in this area.”
