Taken on my way to the police station to apply for CPIC background check for datacentre access at Telus.
Telus takes the CPIC paperwork, plus another several pages of their own forms signed by everyone under the sun, and then sits on them for a month before granting access to their datacentres.
Compare this to Q9 where the person paying the bill sets up authorized users via telephone or web control panel. New person just has to fill out a short one page form and show picture id, and immediately gets their finger print enrolled and an access card.
Q9’s datacentres seem to be just as secure. More so even, as I have yet to catch one of their guards sleeping on the job, or letting people into the guard room, or leaving doors open and waving people through without checking that they are allowed in… (all seen at Telus over the years)
