Corporate Reporter

CHENNAI: Cognizant has entered into a global systems integration alliance with T-Systems, the enterprise customer division of Deutsche Telekom.

According to a release, the alliance is primarily aimed at catering to the European corporations with global delivery requirements for system integration services.

It will enable customers to leverage the benefits of global delivery.

The partnership combines the onsite and offshore expertise of T-Systems and Cognizant across industry segments with an enhanced geographical footprint and greater access to the best global talent.

The new alliance will draw upon a combined talent base of over 1,10,000 employees worldwide, comprising more than 40,000 employees working offshore. Expanded operations in key geographies — Europe, Americas and Asia — are expected to significantly augment the growth of the two companies.

As part of the new business partnership, T-Systems India and its approximately 1,150 employees will be transferred to Cognizant, subject to appropriate regulatory clearance.

“This new alliance will make global delivery a reality in Europe. Strategically, we are the first to give our customers unprecedented access to a new service and delivery model,” stated Reinhard Clemens, management board member for business customers at Deutsche Telekom, and CEO of T-Systems.
