Key Findings & Highlights:
Digital transformation is a strategic offering for T-Systems’ parent Deutsche Telekom group. The company set up its Digital Division in 2015 with the intention of aggregating the experience and offerings from across its units and subsidiaries centrally. The aim was also to accelerate the development of its digital activities, into a smaller and more flexible unit. Currently, the Digital Division has a wide service portfolio, which includes IoT, cloud computing, and big data, across three verticals: automotive, healthcare, and energy. Digital Division is one of the main business units of T-Systems, along with Security Division (1.4k security experts) and the TC and IT Divisions. Digital Division has P&L responsibility and has some delivery capability (with a NelsonHall estimated headcount of ~2k).
IoT is also strategic for DTAG: Digital Division acts as a central point for IoT-related portfolio, sales, and delivery activities, grouping together capabilities found in Telekom Deutschland and in its national subsidiaries, called NatCos (connectivity services), in Detecon (consulting), and in other units including Systems Integration (a unit of the IT division, itself part of T-Systems).
