## Summary

TELUS Digital announced a partnership with Parloa on October 14, 2026, to implement the German company’s agentic AI platform for enterprise customer experience. Under the deal, TELUS Digital will introduce Parloa’s platform to clients and assist with deployment, integration, change management, and managed services. Enterprises purchase the platform directly from Parloa while engaging TELUS Digital for professional services. The partnership leverages Parloa’s European regulatory expertise—including GDPR compliance—and TELUS Digital’s North American and European delivery presence and industry experience across regulated sectors like banking, telecommunications, and healthcare.

Parloa’s platform automates end-to-end customer interactions, handling tasks like authentication, bookings, payments, and order inquiries before escalating to human agents. It integrates with Azure and supports multiple AI models, including OpenAI’s GPT series. The platform holds SAP’s endorsed app premium certification and complies with standards like GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. Parloa cites its own research, including a study of 10,000 enterprise websites and 4,000 chat interactions, revealing that fewer than 9% of chatbot conversations reached resolution and only about 10% of escalations reached human agents. A separate survey of 1,001 U.S. consumers found that nearly a third would switch brands to avoid hold times, while 84.9% preferred human agents over automated solutions with accuracy trade-offs.
