T-Systems and Cognizant join forces
 
 Deutsche Telekom’s
enterprise customer
division, T-Systems, and
global IT services
provider Cognizant have
entered into a global
alliance. The alliance
is primarily aimed at
catering for European
corporations with global
delivery requirements
 
 for system integration
services.
   The new alliance will
draw upon a combined
talent base of over
110,000 employees
worldwide, comprising
more than 40,000
employees working
offshore. Expanded
operations in key
 
 geographies – Europe,
Americas and Asia – are
expected to
significantly augment
the growth of the two
companies.
   As part of the new
business partnership,
T-Systems India and its
approximately 1,150
employees will be
 
 transferred to
Cognizant, subject to
appropriate regulatory
clearance.
   “This new alliance
will make global
delivery a reality in
Europe. Strategically we
are the first to give
our customers
unprecedented access to
 
 a new service and
delivery model,” said
Reinhard Clemens,
management board member
for business customers
at Deutsche Telekom and
CEO of T-Systems.
  
  
 
 
Bluefin wins star rating from employees
 
 Bluefin Solutions has
been awarded the elite
Three Star Accreditation
in this year’s Best
Companies Accreditation
scheme. The initiative
acknowledges corporate
excellence in the
workplace. It places
paramount significance
on first-rate workplace
engagement, superb
workplace practice, and
outstanding internal
 
 leadership. Final
accreditation is based
on an elite ‘Michelin
style’ rating which
bestows a fixed standard
for organisations. One
Star is first class, Two
Stars are outstanding,
and Three Stars are
extraordinary. The
scheme was developed by
Best Companies, the firm
also responsible for
researching and
 
 compiling the Sunday
Times’ ‘Best Companies
to Work for’ list.
   For this year’s
accreditation, over
140,000 employees from
653 organizations were
surveyed. Of the 653
companies who registered
for ‘Star Status’, only
307 were awarded such,
with only 48 achieving
the scheme’s highest
rating of Three Stars.
 
    Bluefin chief
executive James Appleby
said: “To be accredited
as one of the top UK
companies to work for is
a wonderful external
recognition that our
staff has the drive and
desire to live our
values. It also affirms
that our 2025 vision is
on track. The vision is
simple: by being a great
place to work, and by
 
 doing the best for our
customers regardless of
what that means to us,
Bluefin is striving to
become one of the
world’s most
customer-focused IT
organisations by 2025.”
