Thats why T-Systems has long advocated for the best-possible data
security for its clients. For instance, by using data servers located in Europe.

EDITORIAL

In an editorial two years ago, I announced our companys big-
gest ever reorganization. And Experton Groups Digital Transfor-
mation Vendor Benchmark 2016 is proof positive that this was
the right move. It demonstrates that, from our customers per-
spective, our new structure, comprising the IT Division, the Tele-
communications Division and the new Digital Division, is the
right one. In a field comprising almost 600 IT service providers,
we are among the leaders: an exclusive group of seven who of-
fer outstanding strategic and tactical support for full IT/busi-
ness transformation. Very few players can match us in terms of a
truly complete portfolio of IT services for digital transformation.
A key differentiator of our end-to-end approach is the fact
that we repeatedly and critically reassess the entire IT value
chain to answer the question: what do our customers really
need? And in what way do we need to reinvent ourselves to be
ideally placed to drive business digitization? With regard to
cloud services, technologies such as big data analytics, the se-
curity and speed of networks, and managed IT services, from
data centers to client-side applications, we are always looking
for opportunities to improve if necessary, by doing things dif-
ferently. Whenever and wherever it makes sense, we are willing
to break with the old and embrace the new.
I would like to offer two examples of what I mean. Not so
long ago, business data and the public cloud were seen as in-
compatible. The Safe Harbor agreement became synonymous
with the insecurity CIOs associated with public clouds and their
providers. And we believed the time was right to rectify this situ-
ation. As a result, we are launching our Open Telekom Cloud to
coincide with the start of this years CeBIT. This is the first, and
only, public cloud in the world to be hosted at a highly secure
data center in Germany, by a German company, in accordance
with this countrys strict data protection legislation. It will make
infrastructure as a service affordable, safe, and easy to use.
This shows we have what it takes to be different. And we are
also addressing the private cloud. Its our conviction that long-
term outsourcing agreements are pass. Customers need flexi-
bility. We will start with Dynamic Services for SAP and SAP
HANA. If, at the end of the intensive hypercare phase, new cus-
tomers are not satisfied with their transformation to cloud com-
puting, they should be entitled to cancel their contracts at any
time, without citing grounds. Similarly, existing customers
should have the right to terminate their contracts at short
notice.
These are some of the ideas we are exploring in response
to the evolving IT needs of digital-era businesses. And we have
the ability to put them into action because we have more than a
decades hands-on experience of cloud computing. We under-
stand the technology, how to manage it, and how to integrate it
with customers systems from end to end. With the support of
our quality assurance program: Zero Outage.
IT environments will only remain up and running if the right
protection is in place. And trends such as the smart factory and
the fourth industrial revolution compel us to give security greater
weight than ever before. We need to find ways not only to safe-
guard our IT systems, but also the billions of machines and de-
vices worldwide that will soon be connected to the Internet. As I
see it, the answer lies in scalable, cloud-based security solu-
tions. And in combining and consolidating our resources to re-
pel cyber attacks assaults on data centers, networks, our
customers infrastructures and data. T-Systems, in partnership
with our enterprise customers, is a major power in the security
arena. Expertons Security Vendor Benchmark 2016 names us
leader on eight fronts, for example. But security demands all
stakeholders join forces from major corporations to SMBs to
individual consumers. Against this backdrop, we have pooled
all of our internal and external security skills and tools through-
out Deutsche Telekom within a single business unit: Telekom
Security. In the future, Telekom Securitys solutions will be mar-
keted under the Magenta Security brand. And we have set our
sights on becoming the European market leader in this space.
This issue of Best Practice considers the role our external
partners and their market-leading technologies will play for us
now and in the future, and why, for us, digital transformation
means reorganization is an ongoing process. We hope you find
it enjoyable and informative.

Production Director on the Audi Board and in charge of tool shops within
the Volkswagen Group. Audi can now produce complex components very
easily using the laser sintering method. The company is keen to work
closely with the tool shops in the VW Group in order to open up further
areas of application for metal 3D printing. The 3D printing market in the
car industry is set to increase to 5.2 billion by 2020. Experts assume that
the share of car parts made by additive methods will rise to 20 percent.

Whether from weathering or wars the destruction of any World
Cultural Heritage Site represents a major loss for mankind, says
UNESCO boss Irina Bokova. With its Anqa Project, the CyArk Group is
trying to stem the tide: Together with the International Council of
Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), the company is making digital r ecord-
ings of historical monuments under threat. Those responsible for the
project can collect , save and evaluate the enorm ous volumes of data in
the cloud. This is the only way for the digital reconstruction of the
historical building plans to serve later as the basis for restoration.

ICT DONE DIFFERENTLY
12 TIME FOR UN-OUTSOURCING.
TOP STORY. Companies have to digitize. But many are still hesitating
before making the necessary transformation of their ICT. Whether out of
fear of the investment, the jungle of different technologies or becoming
dependent on their provider what they need are ICT service providers
who think differently. On the subject of outsourcing, for example. Or on
how public clouds can be made secure or that SAP services from the
cloud dont have to be linked to a fixed contract.
CONTENTS
11
42 EXTRAPOLATIONS ON THE CLOUD.
GUEST BOOK. The Stanford scientist, Dr. Timothy Chou, subscribes to the
view that computing & storage devices worth up 456 billion dollars are
waiting to be serviced from the cloud every year!
44 SHINING LIGHT OF AN INDUSTRY.
PIONEER. Keith Krach is considered a pioneer in robotics, e-commerce
and the digitization of the economy as a whole. In DocuSign, the cloud

BEST PRACTICES

on real-time analyses in the largest SAP HANA installation in the world,
the transfer of 150 terabytes of critical legacy data to SharePoint and on
how services from the cloud are becoming secure.
48 WHEN ZERO OUTAGE IS A MUST.
AMS AG. The Austrian s emiconductor manufacturer had every reason to
entrust its IT to the Telekom subsidiary for a further decade: 1100 regular
changes and not one major IT incident in the last four years. A crucial
factor in this success has been T-Systems quality offensive, Zero Outage.
50 RECORD OF A WEEKEND.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT. It should be part of any consistent quality
assurance policy that even executives and SVPs of an IT provider keep
themselves available and ready to intervene 24/7 when a customer
embarks on major changes or endures a critical incident. But that cant
be said of very many.
30 SYSTEM INTEGRATION IS KING.
ANALYZE IT. The increasing diversity of cloud models requires
cloudifiers who can master complex transformations from start to
finish, says Andreas Zilch, Lead Advisor for Pierre Audoin Consultants.
33 THE LINK IN THE CLOUD MIX.
OPEN STACK. More and more companies are leaning towards a
sourcing mix of different platforms when it comes to the cloud.
The independent software framework, OpenStack, is indispensable
in ensuring the necessary standards and open interfaces.
34 FREE CHOICE IN BEST OF BREED.
UNIQUE PLATFORM. Whether for SAP, Microsoft or Salesforce users,
the multi-cloud ecosystem from T-Systems integrates and orchestrates
the worlds leading software products as one-stop SaaS solutions.

since gone from being an option to an existential must. Between
security, scalability and interoperability priorities in numbers.
