Montreal’s Ateko announced this week that it has acquired Calgary-based data engineering firm SDK Tek Services.
The acquisition of SDK Tek by Ateko, a Bell subsidiary launched last year, supports Bell’s strategic priority to lead in enterprise with AI-powered solutions, according to a statement from the firms, and also “contributes to the development of a sovereign Canadian AI ecosystem.”
SDK’s ability to transform raw data into actionable intelligence complements Ateko’s expertise in AI-powered workflow automation and system integration, suggests Guillaume Bazinet.
“The addition of SDK’s talented AI and data specialists to our team brings us another step toward that vision and strengthens our nation’s ability compete and win on the global stage,” says Bazinet, chief executive officer of Ateko.
The addition of a team of specialists now a part of Ateko boosts the firm’s capabilities to help clients unlock the power of data and embed AI into operations while bolstering Bell AI Fabric, a national infrastructure initiative launched by Bell earlier this year.
“We’re thrilled to be a critical part of Bell’s mission to develop Canada’s AI ecosystem,” Bazinet commented.
David Keith, chief executive of SDK, says that “joining Ateko and the Bell family marks an exciting milestone” for his company.
“Our shared commitment to technical excellence and solving complex data challenges is now part of a larger mission,” Keith stated.
“Together, we will deliver more comprehensive AI and data solutions, delivering that value to clients across the country,” he said.
SDK was established in 2016. Bell was founded in 1880.
