Deutsche Telekom has signed a long-term strategic agreement with Google Cloud, extending into 2030. The agreement focuses on cloud and AI integration for Deutsche Telekom’s IT, networks, and business applications, including the migration of its SAP landscape. Deutsche Telekom expects this partnership will enhance its operational efficiency, improve customer experiences, and ultimately lead technological innovation in the telecom industry.

Deutsche Telekom has chosen Google Cloud as its preferred partner for moving key business areas to the cloud, including modernising and scaling data and AI applications that are significantly contributing to the company’s digital transformation strategy. For example, Deutsche Telekom recently announced it has partnered with Google Cloud to build its One Data Ecosystem (ODE), a secure, AI-integrated platform that consolidates on-premises data systems, enhancing data processing speed and enabling advanced AI solutions while meeting regulatory requirements.

“Deutsche Telekom is becoming an AI-first company. By leveraging data and AI, we are improving agility and optimszing digital solutions across all our business entities, software engineering, and customer interfaces to deliver superior experiences for our customers. Our collaboration with Google Cloud further strengthens these efforts, driving innovation and efficiency. Examples like Deutsche Telekom’s core SAP systems migrating to GCP or the MyMagenta app using Google’s Gemini Multimodal Live API, highlight the strength of our partnership. We look forward to expanding our collaboration further,” said Stefan Schloter, CIO Europe at Deutsche Telekom.

“Communications service providers are increasingly looking to the cloud to further develop service offerings and drive innovation, flexibility, and growth”, added Marianne Janik, VP, EMEA North, Google Cloud. “We look forward to collaborating with Deutsche Telekom to help the company further develop innovative solutions that provide enhanced experiences for end users.”

Another key component of the partnership is the migration of Deutsche Telekom’s SAP estate to the cloud, a project named SAP2SKY. Google Cloud’s scalable infrastructure and deep partnership with SAP provides a platform for this project, giving Deutsche Telekom the tools to improve business processes and better adapt to change. This strategic programme will enable Deutsche Telekom to centralise and modernise its SAP estate to improve scalability, operational flexibility, efficiency, and compliance.

With the expanded partnership, Deutsche Telekom will increasingly leverage Vertex AI, Google Cloud’s unified developer platform to develop, deploy and scale AI applications and initiatives using Google’s latest Gemini models. The improved computing power and analytical capabilities will offer Deutsche Telekom the opportunity to tap into new market potential and respond with even more agility to customer needs. This will help Deutsche Telekom to develop new products faster and deliver customised customer experiences in real time.
