Speaking on the potential of Infor CSI Quickstart to catalyse growth at scale among Sri Lanka’s key business sectors, Kingslake CEO Duleep Fernando said: “Advancements in these technologies means that impactful solutions are more cost-effective and within reach of businesses of any size. For example, we offer special modular user licensed based pricing, which enables a more cost-effective approach to transforming manufacturing businesses.”          

He noted that the transformations initiated by Infor CSI Quickstart would ultimately deliver greater competitive advantage through increased efficiency and agility. 

Represented by Kingslake in Sri Lanka, Infor is a global leader in providing highly effective, cutting-edge business applications, which can be configured to meet the demands of a wide range of industries.
