SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 5, 2025 – Deutsche Telekom has consolidated its B2B cloud services into a unified offering under the new “T Cloud” brand, appointing seasoned executive Lars Neumann to oversee its Group-wide strategy. This move signals a significant step in scaling sovereign and secure cloud services across Europe, with a focus on flexibility, compliance, and end-to-end digital transformation support for enterprises.
Group-Wide Cloud Leadership for Strategic Growth
Effective July 1, 2025, Lars Neumann has assumed full responsibility for Deutsche Telekom’s entire cloud portfolio, spanning sales, development, and implementation. His remit includes aligning the capabilities of Telekom Deutschland and T-Systems under a single operational umbrella to drive scalable cloud delivery across all B2B segments.
With over 15 years of global experience in cloud solutions, Neumann previously led Deutsche Telekom’s Solution Business Unit, where he delivered integrated IT, mobile, and fixed-network services to public and private sector clients. His new mandate includes steering innovation, customer integration, and market competitiveness in a rapidly evolving cloud landscape.
T Cloud: Integrated Public and Private Cloud for B2B Clients
The T Cloud offering consolidates all cloud services — including public, private, and hybrid models — into a cohesive, customizable ecosystem. Business clients, from SMEs to large enterprises, can now access a modular, “one-stop” portfolio tailored to their operational, security, and sovereignty requirements.
Key elements of T Cloud include:
- Multi-cloud architecture that enables seamless integration across infrastructures
- Sovereign hosting options that comply with European data regulations
- Scalable and stable platforms with guaranteed performance and availability
- Simplified procurement and deployment via centralized cloud access
This comprehensive architecture not only streamlines enterprise IT operations but also responds directly to the European demand for independence from U.S.-based hyperscalers.
Growing Demand for Sovereign Cloud Solutions
The repositioning of Deutsche Telekom’s cloud strategy comes at a time when geopolitical tensions and regulatory shifts are elevating the importance of digital sovereignty. European enterprises are increasingly seeking alternatives that offer security, legal clarity, and data residency within the EU.
“With the T Cloud, we offer our customers tailor-made solutions 'Made in Germany' for their specific needs,” said Ferri Abolhassan, CEO of T-Systems and member of the Deutsche Telekom Board of Management. “In this way, we are making digital transformation as easy as possible for our customers and at the same time strengthening Europe's sovereignty in the cloud market.”
Enterprise Confidence Through Localized Infrastructure
Rodrigo Diehl, CEO of Telekom Deutschland, emphasized the strategic impact of the T Cloud platform: “The European market is looking for reliable, sovereign alternatives to US hyperscalers. With T Cloud, we are bundling the cloud expertise of the entire Deutsche Telekom Group to complement the best Deutsche Telekom network in Europe. For our customers, this means maximum security, maximum availability — and a true partner on an equal footing.”
By offering localized infrastructure with global support, Deutsche Telekom positions itself as a leading European alternative in enterprise cloud services.
Long-Term Outlook: Building the Backbone of Digital Europe
Lars Neumann’s leadership is set to drive the next phase of Deutsche Telekom’s cloud growth. He affirmed the strategic importance of this unified approach:
“By bundling all our cloud activities across the entire Group under one roof, we can offer every customer the cloud solution that meets their specific requirements – whether public or private. This creates the basis for exponential growth. In this way, we will ensure digital sovereignty and support European independence in the global cloud landscape.”
T Cloud will play a central role in Deutsche Telekom’s B2B roadmap, acting as a foundational platform for industries ranging from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare and government digitalization initiatives.
