“It has become increasingly critical for digital customer experience providers to engage the right technology partners in order to not only meet, but stay ahead of evolving consumer behaviors and cater to the new ways clients want to do business. This includes embracing consumers’ widespread shift to working and socializing on digital messaging platforms, and offering clients options such as flexible and transparent pay per use pricing models to optimize budgets and off-the-shelf integrations that address their desire to reduce complexity,” said Monty Hamilton, Senior Vice President, TELUS International. “TELUS International’s thoughtful and holistic approach to welcoming unique and progressive companies like Local Measure into our partner ecosystem and channel strategy serve to propel our growth in emerging and fast-growing segments of the CX market whilst broadening our GenAI offering.
