Kinsmen TeleMiracle

COVID-19 challenged local charities to come up with new fundraising ideas. For Kinsmen TeleMiracle, the introduction of the paperless 50/50 draw helped them through the crisis. This video tells the story of Kinsmen TeleMiracle using EchoLotto, an online platform for raffles, charities, and nonprofits to hold province-wide online 50/50s that helps them raise the funds they need to deliver the services they provide.

When the numbers rolled in, the final total ended up being the third highest total ever raised in the 45-year history of TeleMiracle. The solution was backed by SaskTel Cloud Hosting, a service that delivers a managed environment for server equipment.
      

When the Saskatchewan Roughriders moved into the new Mosaic Stadium, they faced several obstacles. Their former office was in a building that was challenged in terms of technology and they were moving into a new, state-of-the-art facility. They turned to SaskTel because we understand their business needs.

The Roughriders had long been a SaskTel customer and the organization was already enjoying the advantages of Cloud Hosting. It provided a strong starting point to build a custom solution for the team.

We recommended augmenting their portfolio of SaskTel services with Hosted Collaboration Solution, connecting the entire office with the rest of the world. The Riders also went with Hosted Contact Centre to optimize their resources.

"And that allows us to focus on our business, which is running a football team."

When Canpotex made the decision to move their IT infrastructure to an off-site location, they chose our data centre in Saskatoon and SaskTel Colocation. It was a move that enhanced safety and security, not only for the corporation's systems, but for the entire potash journey to destinations overseas. Ken Seitz, former President & CEO, tells us how this solution "significantly reduced our risks and capital costs."

“We looked in Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg, and yet we were most impressed with SaskTel's data centre.”

Alex Morgun stresses that Hospitals are not built to be data centres. Instead, they should be using that space to provide patient care. Transferring their data to the SaskTel Data Centre in Saskatoon has allowed him to give back those rooms to be used as a clinical space. SaskTel Colocation has enabled this and so much more.
