Deutsche Telekom and Microsoft have announced an expansion of their partnership to help large and medium-sized customers accelerate digitalization. This was announced by both companies on Thursday. This covers in particular the cloud solution Azure and the software and service package Microsoft 365. At the same time, the two groups want to jointly target the education market to provide the communications platform Microsoft Teams and other services to schools and other educational institutions.
"This partnership will enable us to enhance services for our customers," said T-Systems CEO Adel Al-Saleh. " We will also be supporting each other with digitalization and network build-out."
The new partnership builds on an agreement that T-Systems and Microsoft concluded at the Hanover Fair in 2018. While at that time it was mainly about networking devices in the Internet of Things, the new partnership is broader in scope. Firstly, the cooperation not only covers T-Systems, but also Deutsche Telekom as a whole. In addition, cloud computing now plays a greater role. "The partnership is much more strategic now than it was in 2018," said Jean-Philippe Courtois, president of Microsoft Global Sales, Marketing and Operations. Germany is one of the countries worldwide where cloud computing is growing fastest.
