Magenta Insights - September 2023
Dear Readers,
Deutsche Telekom recently announced the group level results for Q2 2023 recording strong growth in customer numbers and financial figures. Specifically, T-Systems is on track for our annual targets, as the revenue rose by 4.8% and EBITDA 2%.
Our customers continue to invest in digitalization, cloud technologies and automation. However, the first half of the year was tougher than the first six months of 2022 and 2021. Nonetheless, demand for our services and digitalization continues to drive our markets despite the slowdown from pandemic boom. We can position T-Systems with important issues which impact wider society. We set ourselves apart with our offerings for sovereignty, digital identities, data spaces, sustainability and artificial intelligence. For the last of these, we have set up our own 'AI factory', in which we already employ over 600 T-Systems colleagues. Hear more on our results and some highlights in the video.
A big thank you to our colleagues, clients and partners. I’m looking forward to the second half of the year.
Best regards,
T-Systems Northern Europe

In search of sovereignty

More freedom for SAP modernization
Whether cloud, AI or, remote work – end users today want to be able to easily access business applications anytime and anywhere. This naturally includes business-critical solutions such as SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA. This increases the pressure on the team responsible for SAP Application Management in the company enormously. It must ensure that the SAP software functions reliably, offers excellent user experience (UX) and, thanks to continuous modernization, flexibly maps future requirements.
The success of SAP Application Management hinges on a professional service desk that quickly and insightfully handles user inquiries, resolves incidents, or makes desired adjustments to the application. For example, to improve the user interface or extend the functionality of SAP applications. The challenge: Often, companies simply lack personnel. They do not have enough SAP specialists, SAP administrators, or SAP developers for first, second, or third level support.
