Our public sector business

This award is evidence that we have been successful and are on the right track with the IP strategy that we defined in 2000, designed to help our customers transform their organizations. Our growing list of public sector customers, includes some of the largest organizations in the country, including: the Department of National Defence, the RCMP, the Ontario Government, Peterborough Regional Health, University of Alberta and Vancouver Coastal Health Authority in British Columbia.

TELUS’ public sector strategy involves assisting organizations to address key challenges such as: 

• dealing with an aging workforce; responding to emergencies; 
• improving their productivity; 
• enhancing service delivery; 
• and greening their organizations.

By helping public sector organizations to transition to an IP infrastructure, this will enable greater innovation and improve their delivery of services to Canadians.
