Bielefeld, January 14, 2021 – itelligence | NTT DATA Business Solutions, one of the world’s most successful SAP service providers, is enhancing its sustainability by converting to 100 percent green electricity in Germany. This change took effect on January 1, 2021 and covers itelligence’s data centers in Bautzen and Bielefeld and the office premises in Bautzen, Bielefeld and Dresden.

Norbert Rotter, CEO of itelligence | NTT DATA Business Solutions: “itelligence’s motto ‘We Transform. Trust into Value’ does not only apply in the area of consulting. With this change, we are demonstrating that we are not only committed to our customers’ success but also to an ecofriendly, sustainable approach in our business operations.”
