TELUS International completes acquisition of Competence Call Center
TELUS International today confirmed the close of their previously announced acquisition of Competence Call Center (CCC). TELUS International now holds a 100% interest in CCC.
The merged company has an expanded portfolio of customer experience, digital transformation, content moderation, IT lifecycle, advisory and digital consulting, risk management, and back-office support that will enable new go-to-market opportunities and drive growth.
“We are committed to creating a friendlier future for citizens globally; one in which technology supports the security and integrity of the data and information we process every day,” said Darren Entwistle, President and CEO of TELUS. “Through this important acquisition, our TELUS International team will benefit from the thought leadership, skill and dynamic insights of more than 8,500 CCC employees across 11 European countries, supporting our global customers with innovative digital solutions. Importantly, this represents our largest ever international transaction, as we augment our TELUS International employee base to almost 50,000 team members, delivering service and support in over 50 languages from more than 50 delivery centres in 20 countries across North and Central America, Europe and Asia.”
TELUS International will continue to focus on partnering with clients in the fast-growing tech, travel and hospitality, financial services and fintech, telecommunications, games and healthcare industries, and CCC has an established presence in the content moderation space, counting large, well known global brands and social media companies as its customers.
