TELUS
" We have these partnerships because they are mutually beneficial , and they really have a high degree of collaboration with a focus on a multi-year relationship and consistent business results . They enable our business customers to streamline their IT and network operations . These partnerships are crucial because they help us deliver on our priorities ."
As part of this partnership , both companies will generate new industry solutions and strategies to drive growth in telecoms , healthcare , home security and agriculture .
Their focus on agriculture is a great example of innovation . Launched in November last year , TELUS Agriculture has the ambitious aim of digitally transforming the global food system . Using advanced data analytics and AI , the goal is to streamline operations and improve food traceability . " TELUS is redefining the way healthcare and agriculture are delivered by increasing collaboration efficiency between healthcare providers , and providing consumers with fresher , healthier food , by creating systems that allow people to trace the origins of their food , which can lead to better nutrition and ultimately , health outcomes " Saad explains .
Despite forming relatively recently , TELUS Agriculture already supports more than 150 million acres of agricultural land , with a team of over 1,200 experts across the Americas , the United Kingdom , Europe , China , and Australia .
It ' s certainly something that sets TELUS apart , as Saad says , " other telecom companies here in Canada focus on media for example , but our focus is really on helping Canadians by delivering healthcare , We are helping Canadians live healthier lives by applying innovative technologies to revolutionise healthcare . For agriculture , we are on a mission to tackle one of the most signifcant social challenges of our generation — feeding the world — while improving the quality and safety of our food by leveraging technology innovation and human compassion and home security , and in the future we will continue to invest in these key industries . That ' s how we ' ll become the leading company in these sectors ."
