T-Systems was founded in 2000, when Deutsche Telekom acquired a 50.1% stake of debis Systemhaus, one of the largest IT services companies in Germany at the time. Most of Deutsche Telekom's existing service and IT businesses were then merged and incorporated under the control of one single company, the newly founded T-Systems. In 2001 T-System's headquarters were moved from Bonn to Frankfurt. In 2002 the remaining 49.9% share of debis Systemhaus was acquired and fully incorporated into T-Systems.

However, the company underwent a leadership crisis during the first years after its creation, due to different agendas of the former debis management and the leadership of the former Telekom subsidiaries.{{Citation needed|date=July 2017}} Since then, T-Systems made a number of acquisitions, most notably the purchase of gedas, the IT subsidiary of Volkswagen Group in December 2005.{{cite web|url=http://cimdata.com/newsletter/2005/51/04/51.04.01.htm|title=T-Systems Acquires VW Subsidiary gedas|website=cimdata.com|access-date=2010-12-22|archive-date=2011-07-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708154040/http://cimdata.com/newsletter/2005/51/04/51.04.01.htm|url-status=live}} From 2007 to 2018, Reinhard Clemens was T-Systems' CEO.

In 2008 T-Systems and the Cognizant global IT services provider entered into a global alliance.{{cite web|url=http://www.cognizant.com/html/news/pressreleases/2008/cognizantTSystems.asp|title=Press Release: First Systems Integration Alliance to Globally Serve Corporate Europe|access-date=2008-03-20|archive-date=2008-03-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080326164947/http://www.cognizant.com/html/news/pressreleases/2008/cognizantTSystems.asp|url-status=live}} T-Systems' India operations were taken over by Cognizant following this alliance in late March 2008.{{cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/technology/cognizant-tech-to-buy-t-system-s-india-business-108030601108_1.html|title=Cognizant Tech to buy T-System's India business|date=6 March 2008|work=Business Standard|access-date=9 March 2013|archive-date=29 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160529120602/http://www.business-standard.com/article/technology/cognizant-tech-to-buy-t-system-s-india-business-108030601108_1.html|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url = http://bicclatestnews.blogspot.in/2008/03/cognizant-takes-over-t-systems-india.html|title = Cognizant takes over T-Systems India ops|date = 28 March 2008|access-date = 9 March 2013|archive-date = 27 February 2017|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170227113146/http://bicclatestnews.blogspot.in/2008/03/cognizant-takes-over-t-systems-india.html|url-status = live}} T-Systems is also working for the German government{{cite web|url=http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Merkel-Phones-wechseln-auf-Android-1465257.html|title=Merkel-Phones wechseln auf Android|website=heise online|date=7 March 2012|access-date=16 March 2012|archive-date=22 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322153021/http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Merkel-Phones-wechseln-auf-Android-1465257.html|url-status=live}} and a market leader in Germany.{{Cite web |url=http://luenendonk-shop.de/out/pictures/0/lue_its_2011_f300511_fl.pdf |title=Führende IT-Service-Unternehmen in Deutschland 2010 (alphabetisch) | language=de | trans-title=Leading IT service companies in Germany 2010 (alphabetical) |access-date=2012-03-16 |archive-date=2011-11-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111125052536/http://luenendonk-shop.de/out/pictures/0/lue_its_2011_f300511_fl.pdf |url-status=dead }}
