MillenniumIT Head of Microsoft Business Sanjaya Dayananda said, “Once, cloud computing was a nebulous concept, as vaporous as its name implied. No more. Today, the world’s biggest IT companies are taking the cloud very, very seriously. And few IT companies come bigger than Microsoft.

We are very encouraged to see Partners skilling themselves up ahead of the launch which is a very positive sign for Sri Lanka Customers.”
