Telenor Group has announced an expanded partnership with Google Cloud to accelerate Telenor’s digital transformation through advanced data capabilities.

Telenor Group is a technology-driven communication services provider across the Nordics and Asia. Underpinning Telenor’s AI-First strategy and cloud-native ambitions, Telenor is transforming how it harnesses the power of its data, partnering with Google Cloud to deliver a unified data and analytics platform that aims to enhance customer experience, support new product development, and simplify operations.

Leveraging Google Cloud’s portfolio of data and analytics products and solutions, Telenor will use Google Cloud’s BigQuery, integrated with Vertex AI and Looker, to transform existing on-premise data platforms across Telenor’s Nordic businesses into a harmonised cloud-native data and analytics orchestration platform called Nova. Nova will enable Telenor to seamlessly implement any cloud instance, harnessing data and AI in their core operations to enable hyper-personalised customer experiences, optimise network operations, and support operations across Telenor Nordics.

Additionally, Google Cloud will provide Telenor with real-time data tools including Dataflow, Cloud Data Fusion, Pub/Sub, Dataform, and Dataplex, enabling Telenor to gain real-time insights into hundreds or terabytes of data, generate deeper analytical insights in minutes, and support governance and faster construction of data and AI product developments.

“Data is foundational to AI development and enterprise transformation. We are excited to partner with Google Cloud to unleash the full power of our data to better serve our customers, increase the speed of insight and innovation, and support our AI-First ambitions’,’ said Amol Phadke, EVP and Group Chief Technology Officer of Telenor Group.

“Our deepened partnership with Telenor is a testament to the shared vision and trust we’ve built together,” added Eva Fors, Managing Director, Google Cloud Nordic Region, Google Cloud. “We are excited to provide a unified data and analytics platform that will help streamline Telenor operations across the Nordics.”
