TELUS enterprise gen AI data platform modernization with BigQuery and Vertex AI

TELUS modernized its legacy on-prem data stack on Google Cloud to create a unified Enterprise Datahub for analytics and gen AI use cases. The company restructured more than 200 enterprise pipelines and migrated over 14 petabytes of data to BigQuery, using Cloud Composer and Dataflow for orchestration and transformation. TELUS partnered with Google Cloud and Onix to support code conversion, validation, and knowledge transfer for the multi-year modernization.
