TenneT TSO has been one of the system integrator’s customers since 2011. Now with the TransnetBW contract, two of the four national transmission system operators – the backbone of Germany’s energy revolution – are already relying on the expertise and efficiency of arvato Systems.
Comprehensive IT outsourcing
TransnetBW operates the transmission infrastructure in Baden-Württemberg and has around 3,300 kilometers of power lines. It is integrated into the national and European distribution network via many cross-border transfer points. It is also directly connected to the networks inside Germany, as well as in France and Switzerland. As part of the contracted project, arvato Systems will provide TransnetBW with services for IT outsourcing and system integration.
“We are delighted that TransnetBW, another strategically important company in the utilities market, has chosen us and our IT and technology services,” says Matthias Moeller, Managing Director of arvato Systems Technologies GmbH, and responsible for the utilities sector. “We also view this success as a large commitment, because this customer represents another important step in our positioning as a long-term reliable partner with great innovation potential for the utilities market.
At the start of this year, arvato Systems took over perdata GmbH, which further expanded the range of services for the utilities industry.
TransnetBW is also convinced that the collaboration will prove successful and is looking forward to the joint projects. Ludwig Weßbecher, IT & Process Manager at TransnetBW GmbH, states: “arvato Systems impressed us with their expertise during the tendering process, and we felt the company could be a highly flexible partner with a customer-oriented approach.”
