FITIS ICT Infrastructure Chapter is launching a new conference targeting its members and all channel partners who are involved in the infrastructure/computer hardware business. 

This program is scheduled to be held on 23 January at Shangri-La Colombo. The conference is to provide insights and growth strategies to face new challenges in upcoming years. In this economic turmoil all the channel partners are facing some kind of problem in achieving their set targets. 

Further, the conference will be focusing on providing best practices in finance and HR for business owners and leaders of the ICT infrastructure business. The conference will also provide a technology roadmap of the future by industry leaders in order to prepare the channel partner community to face the challenges of industry revolution 4.0. In addition, the technology roadmap and finance best practices conference will share the best practices in HR to take the industry companies to the next level of success rate.

The industry partners face numerous challenges in continuing their business. FITIS ICT Infrastructure Chapter wants to provide the required skills to bridge the gaps in finance and HR to face the challenges. This is the first conference and it will be a signature event in the FITIS calendar annually.

FITIS ICT Infrastructure Chapter President Gnanam Sellathurrai said: “This program was designed focusing on infrastructure/computer hardware channels partners two years ago, but due to pandemic lockdowns it couldn’t be executed. This is an industry requirement at this post-pandemic period as many companies faces severe challenges due to the economic downturn in Sri Lanka. Further he stated he wanted industry partners to gear up for the next level of ICT infrastructure business not only in Sri Lanka but to other countries as well. For such an expansion industry partners need many guidelines and support from industry bodies like FITIS. This type of conference will provide insights in developing successful business models for a longer period. This conference has high expectations within the member companies. So many industry players are supporting this event to be a successful event for a better Sri Lanka.

FITIS Chairman Dr. Prasad Samarasinghe said: “It is a timely requirement for this type of capacity building conference for industry partners. At FITIS we always work in capacity building initiatives as the country needs skilled people in many areas in technology. We work with many industry partners in fulfilling the vast requirements of the IT industry. To have a strong technological backbone infrastructure business is very important and their services are very important to keep alive the technological connectivity.”
