The contract has a volume in the three-digit million euro range and a term of seven years.
ThyssenKrupp CIO Klaus-Hardy Muhleck said: “With this project, we are entering into a strategic partnership with T-Systems. We also build upon the expertise of T-Systems regarding the important topic of IT security.”
