BRISTOL, England, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --



Leading IPTV business channel MeetTheBoss TV [http://www.meettheboss.tv ], a business
unit of GDS International [http://www.gdsinternational.com ], and Germany's largest IT
Services company T-Systems [http://www.t-systems.com ] are to undertake a unique broadcast
series focused on IT Transformation on March 21st, 2013.



A virtual business TV channel with a global membership base exceeding 107,000
senior-level executives across a spectrum of mature industries and job functions - from
CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, CMOs, and COOs to SVPs, VPs, Directors and Business Unit Heads -
MeetTheBoss TV provides a unique value proposition, allowing its members to become part of
the conversation through a combination of public-facing broadcasts and private,

IT Transformation; debuting their experience with MeetTheBoss TV as an initial broadcast
on its CIO Channel, focused on IT Transformation Strategy.



Post-broadcast, the German IT Services giant will work with MeetTheBoss TV to identify
10 of the channel's most applicable CIO members looking to build their own Transformation
Plan, and formally invite them to sit in on two, ninety-minute roundtables led by
T-Systems and moderated by MeetTheBoss TV's Editor-In-Chief, Adam Burns, to enable a
balanced conversation and encourage knowledge-sharing on a range of pre-defined topics.



T-Systems manage multi-sourcing contracts for Deutsche Telekom's corporate customers
such as Shell, Daimler and Old Mutual, and hold responsibility for overseeing voice and
data communication infrastructures as part of a wider transformation strategy.



Richard Stirk, VP of Content at MeetTheBoss TV, said: "We are extremely excited to be
afforded the opportunity of partnering with T-Systems on MeetTheBoss TV. A leader in the
IT services arena, T-Systems are pushing the boundaries and cementing themselves in an
