TELUS International’s challenge

TELUS International grew rapidly through acquisition activity. Many of their regions were once standalone organizations. This resulted in several different legacy systems across the world, many of which were not connected to each other nor to their corporate parent, TELUS.
 
“We started with separate systems for HR, finance and planning and when you have all these separate systems and you don’t have a global strategy in mind, the fallback is the good, old-fashion spreadsheet.” Mark Howitz, senior director ERP and IT for TELUS International said.
 
Spreadsheets were heavily utilized for the purpose of sharing data and monthly consolidation.  This was suboptimal for collaboration and version control as well as limiting the ability to support full global reporting for the purposes of making business decisions.
