The Future of Manufacturing seminar was presented by Kingslake, in partnership with Infor on Thursday 30 January 2014, at the Cinnamon Grand, Colombo. The focal point of this seminar was to give local manufacturers the opportunity to discover new and innovative ways in which to maximise their potential and expand their horizons using the power of ERP. The event was attended by a large number of invitees from various local manufacturing organisations. In his welcome speech, Kingslake Chairman Dr. S. Dharmavasan emphasised the need for effective ERP in today’s dynamic environment. He stated that due to technological advancements and the convergence of IT with SoMoClo (social, mobile, cloud), it is becoming even more vital that an organisation’s ERP solution provides seamless integration, maximum functionality and produces rapid results.

Dr. Dharmavasan went on to say that, “The real benefit derived from effective ERP solutions is that it can help local manufacturers increase productivity and profitability, which in turn will drive economic growth in Sri Lanka, thus leading to further opportunities for manufacturers.” This ‘real benefit’ is what results from the partnership between Kingslake and Infor.
