ThyssenKrupp consolidating to the cloud
Important step in IT
harmonization
Dec 16, 2014 + +
+ ThyssenKrupp AG today have signed a contract with
Telekom subsidiary T-Systems for the set-up and operation of central data
centers. Before the end of the year, T-Systems will start transferring IT
systems and services previously accommodated in around 700 data rooms and
eleven data centers to five global data centers.
In addition, over
80,000 computer workstations and 10,000 server systems of ThyssenKrupp
worldwide are to be moved to the cloud. The IT resources will then be made
available from T-Systems data centers via secure data networks. In the
future, ThyssenKrupp employees will get their desktop services including
applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint and
Microsoft Lync directly from the secure cloud.
As a result,
employees of the diversified industrial group will be able to use
workplace devices around the world flexibly and easily and share data and
documents securely. This will make it possible for them to collaborate
globally using the same applications and platforms with consistent data
and analyses.
Harmonization of the IT (Information Technology)
infrastructure is part of the ThyssenKrupp Group's Strategic Way Forward.
Earlier this year in February, ThyssenKrupp contracted telecommunications
providers Verizon and Vodafone to operate its global wide area network
(WAN). Here too, the aim is to introduce global standards, reduce costs,
and improve the quality and security of data traffic. The seven-year
partnership with T-Systems covers all present and future Group locations
around the world. The contract value is in the triple-digit million-euro
range. As part of the outsourcing of the IT infrastructure services, it is
planned to transfer around 100 employees from ThyssenKrupp IT Services
GmbH to the future service provider.
Klaus Hardy Mühleck, Chief
Information Officer at ThyssenKrupp AG: "Today represents a further
important step in the integration of our IT landscape. In the future we
will work together in a more connected way as part of an integrated group.
We are moving away from our previous heterogeneous structures and creating
the platform for a forward-looking, integrated, business-oriented and
secure IT environment. That will make us more efficient, more flexible and
more profitable in all areas."
