Bosch, the global automobile and appliance behemoth, has extended its relationship with T-Systems by signing a five year, Europe-wide corporate network deal.

The contract, reported to be worth eight-figures (€), will see the business customer segment of Deutsche Telekom controlling the company’s corporate network for the next five years.

With this agreement, Bosch is intensifying its global network strategy and increasingly relying on centralised infrastructure and services from a single provider, T-Systems said.

T-Systems has operated Bosch’s German network for some time whilst providing network-centric ICT services to over 200 locations in the Asian-Pacific region since 2006.
