DMS supports e-Village, donates headsets to computer labs

DMS Electronics (DMSE), the local partner for Plantronics equipment, donated computer headsets to the e-Village initiative at the recently concluded e-Village forum. The program was initiated by the Ministry of Education and Intel Sri Lanka, in 2007 and has since been launched in 50 schools across nine provinces.

An e-Village covers a small and specific geographical area, providing ways to use ICT to serve the community. A range of ICT programs for student, youth and residents that improve education, livelihood development and access to job opportunities are made available via the e-villages.

DMSE Managing Director Lal Chandranath said: “The e-Village project has done a tremendous job during the last six years and we wanted to contribute towards this. Since the primary task of an e-Village is providing basic IT know-how to the local communities, quality communication equipment was a necessity. I want to thank the Ministry of Education and Intel Sri Lanka for this opportunity.”

DMSE has over a decade long partnership with Plantronics, the global leader in audio solutions, providing cutting-edge headset solutions for call centres, enterprises and unified communications.  All major call centres in Sri Lanka and most leading enterprises use Plantronics headsets to improve efficiency and to enhance their communication solutions.

Furthermore, Plantronics has a wide product portfolio to meet the growing demand for unified communications and mobility solutions.

Plantronics India and Middle East Country Director Bobby Joseph said: “This is a great opportunity for us to contribute towards a worthy cause. Using headsets will, naturally, make the use of computers an even better experience specially for applications such as e-learning, skype video conferencing, for these school children and community members and we are glad to partner with DMSE in this initiative.”
