History[link]

T-Systems was founded in 2001, when Deutsche Telekom acquired a 50,1% stake of debis Systemhaus, one of the largest IT services companies in Germany at the time. Most of Deutsche Telekom's existing service and IT businesses were then merged and incorporated under the control of one single company, the newly founded T-Systems. In 2001, T-System's headquarters were moved from Bonn to Frankfurt, a major centre of the IT industry in Germany. One year later, in 2002, the remaining 49,9% share of debis Systemhaus was acquired and fully incorporated into T-Systems. However, the company underwent a leadership crisis during the first years after its creation, due to different agendas of the former debis management and the leadership of the former Telekom subsidiaries. Since then, T-Systems made a number of acquisitions, most notably the purchase of gedas, the IT subsidiary of Volkswagen Group in December 2005.^[6] Since 2007, Reinhard Clemens is T-Systems' new CEO. T-Systems also supported the creation of Silicon Saxony, a major IT cluster in Germany.^[7] In 2008, T-Systems and global IT services provider, Cognizant have entered into a global alliance.^[8] T-Systems is also working for the German government^[9] and a market leader in Germany^[10]
