Abstract
This IDC Market Perspective explores the partner alliances that have occurred in the Canadian market between Canada's three largest communications service providers (comm SPs) — Bell Canada, Telus, and Rogers Communications — with the world's top 3 global hyperscalers — Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services. It also reviews the telecom-focused offerings of the hyperscalers, identifies key drivers of partnering, and provides an updated summary on partnering activity in Canada since 2018.
"Partnering with hyperscalers can provide comm SPs with tremendous benefits of operational efficiencies and cost reductions in the management and maintenance of the core network to bring next-gen network services to market more quickly and leverage real-time data analysis and insights to drive improved customer experiences," said Praveen Datta, research director, Canadian Communications Services. "However, comm SPs need to be wary as the hyperscalers become direct competitors, launching private 5G wireless offers and installing fibre optic networks."
