Our lives are increasingly characterised by technology, connectivity and information. We encounter the products and solutions of the three TMT sectors everywhere today: at home, at work, when travelling, in cars and in watches.
TMT stands for efficiency, progress, enlightenment. Lifestyle and entertainment. The three TMT sectors are drivers of digitalisation and at the same time make it tangible.
The digital fields of application in the B2B and B2C sectors are increasing rapidly - and with them the growth opportunities for technology, media and telecommunications companies. At the same time, they are facing major challenges, as the market, customers and regulatory framework conditions are constantly evolving.
High levels of competition, a fast pace of innovation, high investment costs, increasing requirements for data protection and system security and a shortage of skilled labour are just a few examples.

Since the early days of digitalisation, the TMT industries have been under constant pressure to change like few other sectors. Entire business models that have been successful for decades have fallen victim to "creative destruction" and numerous new models have been created. If you want to survive (successfully), you have to master the process of digital transformation and reinvent yourself if necessary: Rethink strategies, radically reinvent product and service offerings, restructure organisational models and processes, and understand technology as a value driver - not a value destroyer.
With a penetration of all sectors, industries and areas of life, the latest technology trends such as IoT, interconnectivity, artificial intelligence and virtual reality are becoming universal multipliers.
It remains to be seen to what extent these innovative development opportunities will prevail on the market and prove themselves economically. The decisive factor will be whether technological performance promises fulfil expectations in terms of practicality and profitability despite increasing complexity and high development costs.
Together, we want to support you in your transformation towards a digital organisation. With the help of our structured and holistic top-down 360° assessment, we work with you to identify the need for optimisation from day 1 and then selectively delve deeper into those topics that show great potential for improvement - with little effort on your part.
As socially oriented pioneers, TMT companies have long been strongly sensitised to their social and environmental responsibility and use resources and visibility to make a positive impression on regulators, investors and customers through extensive ESG activities.
Our ESG experts can show TMT companies ways to build trust, mitigate risk and create new value for a sustainable future. We provide training, perform materiality assessments, support the review of ESG reports for compliance with existing reporting requirements and benchmark against best practice.
Always well informed:
KPMG's TMT newsletters provide the latest news on market developments, legislative changes and new technologies that are relevant to the three sectors from a national and international perspective.
