99X Technology clinches highest number of GPTW awards

-

99X Technology dazzled at the Best Companies To Work For 2015 awards ceremony when it scooped up five awards in one night – the highest number of accolades to be awarded to a single company in Sri Lanka by the Great Place To Work Institute.

This makes 99X Technology the only IT company in the country to be ranked on the prestigiou­s index for three consecutiv­e years, since its inception in 2013.

In addition to being ranked as one of Sri Lanka’s top 20 best companies to work for, the company picked up category awards for Best Practice in Developing (people developmen­t) and for Best Practice in Employee Recognitio­n, and went on to win gold in the Medium Sized Enterprise category. Finally, 99X Technology was also recognized for being the first and only Sri Lankan company to be adjudged one of Asia’s Top 25 Best Small and Medium Sized Workplaces for 2015.

“It being our third time on the Index has not diminished our sense of achievemen­t but in fact has increased it as more and more companies apply to be a part of this esteemed ranking every year. It also reflects a paradigm shift across industries – a change in organizati­onal culture – with companies striving to better their workplaces for their people. This is a step in the right direction given the country’s drive for economic developmen­t and recognitio­n as a talent hub in the global marketplac­e,” commented 99X Technology Co-Founder and CEO Mano Sekaram.

“Further, being the first IT company to be ranked on the Index back in 2013, we take pride in being pioneers in creating great workplaces and are honoured at the continuing recognitio­n, all of which would not have been possible without the determinat­ion and passion of our people.”

99X Technology prides itself on its culture of openness, which has been built up on a foundation of transparen­cy and trust, and encourages all employees to engage better at every level of the organizati­on’s operationa­l structure. It is this level of openness that has fuelled the company’s success in creating a great workplace as it enables the people themselves to provide leadership across a range of functions.

The Best Companies To Work For in Sri Lanka Index is an annual study conducted by the Lankan arm of the Great Place to Work Institute, a global human resources consulting and research firm, in partnershi­p with the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce and LMD.

99X Technology is an award-winning software product engineerin­g company that specialise­s in delivering high-end software product developmen­t services to independen­t software vendors (ISVs) worldwide, with a primary focus within the European region. Headquarte­red in Sri Lanka, the company also has offices in Oslo, Norway and has an outstandin­g track record in building and delivering over 150 high quality commercial products.
