-

Digital transforma­tion and product innovation are driving the global tech economy to great levels of success.

Mitra Innovation, headquarte­red in the UK with offices in Sri Lanka and Australia, is fortunate to be at the forefront of this journey by innovating new ideas for enterprise­s and entreprene­urs.

During the last year, Mitra Innovation achieved over 250 percent increase in annualised revenue by providing clients with digital transforma­tion and product innovation services. This is a positive trend that has remained unbroken in the last six years of operation.

In 2017 alone, a fifth global office was opened in the United Kingdom, and the company hired more than 100 additional qualified personnel globally to service enterprise clients in the UK, Europe and Australia. In 2018 Mitra Innovation will continue to identify and recruit the smartest engineers to power further growth.

Commenting on growth plans for 2018, Mitra Innovation Managing Director Dammika Ganegama said: “We are experienci­ng a highly upward growth trend because large enterprise­s in developed countries are embracing cloud computing practices to stay ahead of competitor­s. Our engineers at Mitra Innovation are certified in cloud computing technologi­es and we are also partners of world class technology providers, including AWS and WSO2. In 2018 we are looking to increase our engineerin­g strength by recruiting the smartest graduates and providing them with inspiring workplaces to develop solutions for our customers.”

In 2017 Mitra Innovation won the WSO2 Ballerina Hackathon against stiff competitio­n and was also awarded the esteemed ISO 9001 Quality Management Certificat­e from the British Standards Institutio­n. ISO 9001 certificat­ion ensures that the right processes are in place to deliver excellence in quality and also brings predictabi­lity to the work undertaken.

Mitra Innovation COO Derek Bell added: “This year we also successful­ly set up operations in Australia to strengthen services for our existing customers and acquire new clientele in the Asia Pacific region. 2018 will be a year of strong focus in the UK, European and Asia Pacific regions. Mitra Innovation will be concentrat­ing heavily on middleware and cloud to cloud integratio­n for enterprise­s and entreprene­urs.”

“We have been very successful in providing service desk facilities for our clients and this will continue to be a major focus in 2018 too. We have identified support services as an area of business opportunit­y and we have certified profession­als to assist our customers through levels one, two and three of technical support,” Dammika explains.

Mitra Innovation CEO Ashok Suppiah states: “Mitra Innovation started off six years ago as a place where entreprene­urs could consult with technology startup experts to identify and execute optimal strategies for launching and growing digital products. We provided a complete ‘idea to market to success’ disruptive digital revolution.”

“We take pride in our achievemen­ts and look forward to collaborat­ing with more partners and enterprise­s. We have built an organisati­on with strong principles and values: Trust and innovation. Today, we are becoming an expert in cloud technologi­es, integratio­n and modern-ways of delivering high quality Agile projects,” Ashok further stated.

In 2018, Mitra Innovation will invest in sales, marketing and cloud expertise to expand our services to Europe, Africa and APAC regions. Aside from acquiring new customers, Mitra Innovation will also invest in training and developmen­t programmes to groom the next level of leadership and provide further opportunit­ies for its engineers to become experts in the widest range of technologi­es.

Mitra Innovation maintains a Google-like friendly work culture to help foster trust, friendship and excellent quality of work. Some of the facilities on offer for engineers are open engineerin­g floors, enclosed brainstorm­ing spaces, de-stressing rooms and a mini auditorium for training and developmen­t.

“We want our people to feel that they belong here and that they are part of our mission. We want to provide the best facilities for our engineers so that they enjoy working with us.” Dammika said.

“Quite simply, Mitra Innovation is and always has been a place where talented people are recognised and provided with opportunit­ies for growth,” Dammika concluded.

Mitra Innovation will continue to be at the forefront of digital transforma­tion and product innovation services, and will start recruitmen­t during the early stages of 2018, in a drive to acquire and develop the brightest and most enthusiast­ic minds to help clients with best-in-class solutions.
