  • Asset Manager takes its classic IT applications into the German cloud
  • a single source for service, needs-based IT and pay-as-you-use
  • Big deal well into the hundreds of millions

Union Investment has reached a comprehensive service contract with T-Systems . The order, worth well into the hundreds of millions of euros, includes the transfer of classic IT systems into the secure German cloud, subject to strict German data protection regulations. T-Systems , Deutsche Telekom's business customer arm, is accountable to the asset manager for consistent IT infrastructure, integration into the existing system landscape and operation of the applications. The contract has a term of seven years.

"We have put together a package of computing, SAP and web services, operation of applications and development projects to get all of our service needs from one source and reduce complexity", explains Dr. Andreas Zubrod, member of the Union Investment Management Board. "With our shift to the cloud we will have access to needs-based IT and thus considerably lower our costs."

The agreement with Union Investment is a continuation of T-Systems ' success story of providing cloud services for customers across various industries. Shortly before, Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) had entrusted T-Systems with the task of gradually migrating their conventional data center and infrastructure services as well as databases, applications and middleware to the cloud. Likewise, Swiss-based aviation services provider Jet Aviation and elevator and escalator manufacturer KONE have also recently outsourced their SAP services to T Systems' cloud-based platform.
