Millennium Information Technologies caters to international markets The Millennium Information Technologies (MIT) in Malabe can house up to 400 soft professionals and the total usable office space is around 70,000 sq.ft whereas the total built up space amounts to around 110,000 sq.ft. MIT has been in the forefront of IT Technology with the combination of state-of-the-art working environment with high quality IT communication and physical infrastructure, said MIT CEO/Managing Director Tony Weerasinghe at a media conference to mark the three-year celebrations of the MIT facility at its corporate headquarters in Malabe lastweek. Weerasinghe said that the MIT had been the premier applications creator and software solutions provider in the financial and telecom billing services,which had been catering to international markets. The new complex had been designed to provide an ambience conducive to original thinking,teamwork and intra-company communication, including outdoor facilities such as sporting, accommodation and creche facilities. Referring to the accommodation and creche facilities for its staff,Weerasinghe said that the accommodation facilities comprised 16 fully-equipped rooms for staff working late or for visitors/trainers from overseas and a fully-equipped creche for staff with small children. The creche was being manned by a competent teacher helping young parents to focus on work, with the knowledge that their children were "close by and in "capable hands", he said. MIT Manager People's Management and Development Ms. Samanthie Gunasekera said that the special feature of the MIT facility was the rain water harvesting technique used throughout the facility while the complex was being operated on electricity drawn from the national grid. She said that on-site generators supplied power to the entire site on a permanent basis in the event of power failures and the underground fuel storage tanks allowed the generators to be run for an entire month without the need for additional fuel supplies. Ms. Gunasekara said that as the fibre network design was based on a ring topology, it allowed path redundancy, that a single point of failure in the network did not affect the smooth functioning of the other parts of the network.
