TELUS has announced that Best Buy has selected it to provide an integrated IP network that will carry the voice, video and data requirements of the retailer for all its locations in Canada.
The press release hints at new capabilities to be added to enhance Best Buy services to its customers:
enabling new productivity-enhancing applications like a new point- of-sale system, video conferencing, multimedia, gaming, and music.
Best Buy Canada is headquartered in Burnaby, near TELUS HQ and this is an announcement coinciding with a TELUS sales conference underway in Vancouver. Winning business in its backyard is at least as important to TELUS as its eastern Canada success stories.
Will there be an affinity plan to encourage employees to purchase goods and services from the other?
