Vendors to play a key role in TSTT’s multi-billiondollar transformation
“With the internet of things, 5G, robotics and artificial intelligence being a big part of what is happening, the world is fundamentally different today. If TSTT is to achieve our vision to provide solutions to help consumers and businesses achieve their lifestyle and business goals, then TSTT has to become an agile broadband telecommunications company. To carry out this mission, we have to change our processes and improve our vendor relations, hence your presence here today. We want to partner with you to create this new world order. There is a lot for us to discuss.”
These were the words of Dr Ronald Walcott, TSTT’s Chief Executive Officer, as he addressed dozens of the company’s local and international vendors during TSTT’s first annual Vendors’ Forum on February 7, 2017 at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad.
Gerry Brooks, Chairman of TSTT’s Tenders Committee, also delivered greetings on behalf of TSTT’s Chairman, Emile Elias to the 150 vendors, and other guests including Lisa Phillips, Ag Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and Vashti Shrikrisensingh Jitman, Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Utilities.
Brooks explained that the vendor forum will help TSTT become a more focused agile broadband company and there was a new opportunity for a very exciting and collaborative future for vendors and TSTT.
“TSTT sees vendors as strategic partners and we are opening up all of our opportunities to everyone,” said Brooks and he encouraged the audience to “support local development, support innovation, support private-public sector partnerships but most of all support TSTT because when TSTT wins, you (vendors) win and the customers win.”
