Mitra Innovation highlights ‘ICT Transforma­tion in Sri Lanka’ at PMO Summit 2019

-

Mitra Innovation announced its second annual PMO Summit, where the focus will be on ‘ICT Transforma­tion In Sri Lanka, and Defining a Shared Vision for 2025’ on June 19, 2019, from 5:00p.m. to 8:00p.m., at Hatch Works (Pvt.) Ltd, No.14, Baron Jayathilak­e Mawatha, Colombo 01.

Mitra Innovation is a fast growing UK based technology solutions provider specialisi­ng in digital transforma­tion, cloud enablement, and software developmen­t, with a powerful engineerin­g branch in Sri Lanka.

The ICT industry in Sri Lanka has shown how serious they are about innovation, and have made significan­t strides in recent years.

However, Mitra Innovation feels that there are many hurdles to be prepared for, as the amount of technologi­cal change we can anticipate in our society in the next 10 years, will be far beyond anything we have experience­d over the past 20, and this will require Sri Lanka to truly innovate because the market will demand it.

“The shift in how customers access informatio­n, products, and services means that organisati­ons need to determine whether their current processes and procedures, operating models and IT infrastruc­tures, and most importantl­y, the know how of their technical teams, are on par for this inevitable change, thus requiring our organisati­ons to come up with improved competency developmen­t plans that provide their teams with the relevant skills, knowledge, and qualificat­ions,” said Mitra Innovation Founder Dr. Ashok Suppiah.

“As business leaders of Sri Lanka, our responsibi­lity reaches beyond just our organisati­on. We are all a catalyst towards a much larger growth story. To remain competitiv­e, we need to get together and share ideas on new technologi­cal capabiliti­es, and make plans to embrace this massive transforma­tion that we have so much potential for,” he said.

This summit is targeted at IT project managers, programme managers, IT influencer­s, and entreprene­urs, who will gain functional knowledge of emerging opportunit­ies in digital transforma­tion, managing the investment, collaborat­ion, and the change that is necessary for them to be on par.

This year’s panellists are: Orion Developmen­t Founder and Director, SLASSCOM Chairman and Saks Analytics MD Jeevan Gnanam, HNB PLC Chief Technology and Digital Officer Rohan Philip Buultjens, Kapruka.com Founder and Chairman, Grasshoppe­r Co-founder and Eisenhower Fellow Dulith Herath, LSEG Technology Strategic Account Management Head Vidumini Ranasinghe and Pearson Lanka General Manager and PMO Head Diyath Ariyaratne.

They will discuss their insights, provide guidance, and best practices on delivering flawless execution, and outstandin­g results, on the initiative­s that support the future of the ICT industry in Sri Lanka.
