T-Systems strengthens focus in Switzerland
As of January 1, 2023, T-Systems Switzerland will operate as an independent national company. Thomas Reitze will assume the role of Managing Director. The aim is to focus even more strongly on the strategically important sectors of public transport, health, financial services and the public sector in the Swiss home market.
T-Systems Switzerland will once again become an independent national company within T-Systems International and as part of Deutsche Telekom from January 1, 2023. The bundling of the business of T-Systems Switzerland and Austria in the Alpine region had set the course for greater efficiency, successful development of the 'Cloud Services' and 'Digital' portfolio units and cross-country know-how transfer in the regional markets since 2019, the company writes. The new autonomy will strengthen T-Systems' Swiss identity and thus enable an even more tailored focus on the Swiss market, while at the same time expanding growth in the DACH region, it adds.
Benefit from proven experience
Thomas Reitze, who has headed the Swiss subsidiary within the T-Systems Alpine regional division for almost three years, will become Managing Director of T-Systems Switzerland, which has become a system-relevant IT and digitization partner for its customers. This strong position is to be consolidated and expanded in the coming years, combined with a clear commitment to the Swiss market and a local presence. The new organization is to benefit from proven experience in the public transport and healthcare sectors, public administration, as well as in the finance and insurance industry and the service sector. "We are setting ourselves big goals in Switzerland and pursuing a long-term strategy," says Thomas Reitze, adding, "Digital transformation is advancing rapidly and opening up new opportunities in every sector. More than ever, therefore, industry-specific consulting services and solutions for digital sovereignty are in demand."
No changes for existing customers
For existing Swiss customers, nothing will change with the reorganization. Thomas Reitze: "I am very much looking forward to working with the great people who work at T-Systems to develop even more specific solutions for our customers in Switzerland and to be a reliable, secure and innovative partner with our European DNA."
