Group organization.

We are one of the world’s leading service providers in the telecommunications and information technology industry. We offer our millions of customers all kinds of products and services for connected life and work.

We have an international focus and are represented in around 50 countries. In the 2010 financial year, over half of our revenue, EUR 35.1 billion, was generated outside of our home market Germany. Overall, we employ 246,777 people (December 2010).

Our activities are guided by major trends in technology and society, which we play a pivotal role in shaping. One such trend is digital technology, which is increasingly prevalent in many areas of life. Products and services are becoming increasingly personalized, people are more mobile than ever before, and globalization is advancing, too. There is growing convergence among the various technologies. This is the reason we are focusing on an integrated product portfolio with which customers can access personalized data such as music, videos or addresses from any terminal device. Through fixed-network and mobile communications, we offer network access as well as communication and value-added services with ever-expanding bandwidths, thus promoting personal and social networking with innovative products and services. In addition to our core business (traditional fixed-network and mobile access business), we are specifically tapping new growth areas with investments in intelligent networks and our portfolio of IT, Internet and network services.

We provide customers in Germany with tailor-made products and services and top-quality networks from a single source. To make this possible, we have now merged the formerly independent business units for fixed-network (T-Home) and mobile communications (T-Mobile) to form a single legal entity. The “T” is our Group brand and will also be an integral part of the brand identity for our foreign shareholdings in the future.

T-Systems, our corporate customer arm, is focused on business involving network-centric ICT solutions – with offers combining IT and telecommunications services. T-Systems supplies complete solutions for companies with operations worldwide. In addition, it is focusing on services such as cloud computing and IT solutions for sectors that are undergoing major changes such as energy, healthcare, media distribution, and automotive.
