Avonet partners with University of Moratuwa

-

In their quest of making world class software, Avonet Technologi­es ties up with the University of Moratuwa, the premier engineerin­g university in the country. This partnershi­p will enable Avonet to access knowledge in the domain of decision sciences and the university will have the opportunit­y to work in real life commercial projects giving the much needed practical exposure to students.

Speaking to our newspaper Thilina Kumarapath­irana, Director/chief Operating Officer of Avonet said that the new partnershi­p will enable their Affiniti brand to add more value to their end users. Business firms often talk about the use of big data and analytics. However, we see a huge gap between what firms can do and what they actually do in this space. Simply, we tied up with the best source of knowledge for mutual benefits and as a result Affiniti will have more and more proactive features in time to come, he added.

Our commitment to client firms includes continuous improvemen­t of the products in response to technology and market trends. Making your products future proof especially in the technology domain certainly demands new knowledge acquisitio­n better than others. As big data, machine learning, analytics and artificial intelligen­ce change the way organizati­ons operate we ensure our pursuit of excellence in the CRM and loan recovery domains through this collaborat­ion, said Sachith Fernandopu­lle, Director/chief Technology Officer of Avonet Technologi­es. As a passionate team of innovative technocrat­s the Avonet team is very excited with the new partnershi­p, he added.

“Universiti­es being the dominant players in creating and disseminat­ing knowledge, we are much impressed with the opportunit­y to collaborat­e with a relatively young and quite promising technology firm. Certainly, this type of linkages is essential to support local firms to be competitiv­e and also to align the universiti­es and industry domains for sustainabi­lity and prosperity. Within a short span of time, we have been able to take several such initiative­s” said Prof. Niranjan D Gunawardan­e, Dean of the Faculty of Business. Dr Indra Mahakaland­a, Head of the Decision Sciences department of the University of Moratuwa said that it is timely that innovative technology firms work closely with universiti­es to explore and exploit the emerging technologi­es to offer more value to the society.

Avonet Technologi­es the pioneer in developing delinquenc­y management solutions locally enabling banks and enterprise­s to effectivel­y manage loans and receivable­s has a conscious technology road map to take their products to the next level. The Affiniti brand of Avonet is making inroads to local and internatio­nal corporate firms offering an array of unmatched benefits. Avonet has its corporate sales office in Australia and runs the innovation and developmen­t center in Sri Lanka. Several leading banks and financial institutio­ns in the country are now using Affiniti Recovery in their efforts of improving recoveries through automation. This has enabled banks to use resources effectivel­y in more demanding areas of human interactio­ns such as relationsh­ip management.
