Effective immediately, Siemens IT Solutions and Services will operate large parts of the local IT and telecommunications infrastructure for the industrial company Evonik at all its sites in the USA. The corresponding outsourcing contract will run for four years and is worth around 30 million euros.

Evonik Industries is an international industrial company with the business areas of chemicals, energy and real estate. The contract just signed is part of a global framework agreement for IT services with Evonik Industries and governs the long-term collaboration between the two companies. The Siemens subsidiary SBI Ruhr played a significant role in the contract negotiations with Evonik Industries.

Under this contract, Siemens IT Solutions and Services will operate large parts of the IT and telecommunications infrastructure for Evonik Degussa Corp., the US subsidiary of Evonik, at all of its US sites. This includes two computer centers, servers, telephone systems and all PCs. In addition, Siemens IT Solutions and Services will support employees with a helpdesk that they can call to get quick help for problems with their PCs. Through this arrangement, Evonik Industries hopes to achieve the same high service quality, but with lower IT costs.

Siemens IT Solutions and Services is thus successfully continuing its strategy of cooperating more closely with the other Siemens Groups and expanding its business in those areas in which, for example, the industrial sectors are strong.
