At a recent media event, three Sri Lankan companies discussed how they use Oracle Cloud Applications to transform their businesses and capitalise on digital opportunities by building a complete cloud strategy harnessing SaaS applications.
The event participants learned how Oracle Cloud Applications help organisations drive innovation and business transformation by increasing business agility, lowering costs, and reducing IT complexity by showcasing Oracle Cloud - the industry’s broadest and most integrated public cloud. Offering best-in-class services across Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), it also allows organisations to host Oracle Cloud in their own data centre via Oracle’s ‘Cloud at Customer’ offering.
“It is exciting to see companies in Sri Lanka at the forefront of using cloud to drive innovation and push boundaries,” said Chandita Samaranayake, Regional Director Oracle SAGE.
“These organisations are using Oracle Cloud Applications to transform and modernise everything from customer experience to enterprise resource planning, human capital management and many more, making their business more personalised, connected, and secure,” he said.
Chief Technology and Information Officer, Etisalat Sri Lanka, Perihane Elhamy said, “As we grow rapidly and in keeping in line with our vision of a world where people’s reach is not limited by matter or distance, we were looking for a solution to simplify and modernise our business processes, providing a comprehensive view across the entire organisation with the ability to seamlessly integrate across multiple systems.”
Executive Vice President, CIO and General Manager, Madu Ratnayake, “Our people are the core of our business.
To create an environment that enable us to deliver a truly world class experience for our global clients, it’s essential that we provide our teams with a truly modern user experience that helps drive engagement, innovation and productivity.”
Director, Group Human Resources, MAS Holdings, Shakthi Ranatunga said: “We are pleased to partner with a highly acclaimed international service provider of the caliber of Oracle.
We believe this partnership will strengthen the delivery of our HR strategy, especially as we continue our local and international expansions.”
Samaranayake outlined trends around employee engagement, with a focus on how modern, digital HR solutions can help organisations remain relevant and sought-after employers.
This is made possible through their ability to provide valuable insights to business leaders around monitoring employee performance and alignment to strategic organisational goals.
