Sri Lanka’s first-ever Software Product Engineering Conference in June

In recent times, Sri Lanka has seen a tremendous boom in the IT/BPO and knowledge service industry, which is marked to be one of the top revenue earners for the country. It is estimated that the industry will grow and become a billion dollar industry by 2016 and is currently among the top 20 outsourcing destinations.

With the growing demand of IT outsourcing knowledge services from   Sri Lanka, IT personnel in the local industry formed the ‘Colombo Camps Community,’ with an objective to bridge gaps in terms of knowledge and skills as well as to educate the software developer community on latest technological developments and trends taking place in the global market place.

The community has organised many informative sessions with International and local speakers sharing their knowledge on areas such as agile methodologies, coding practices, MS SharePoint practices, iPhone development, etc., in an attempt to bring global benchmarked practices to Sri Lanka whilst enabling Sri Lankan services reach world class standards. In this effort, the community reached over 350 participants during last year alone.

Software product engineering has become an immensely popular subject in the recent past and has caught the eye of many in the global IT outsourcing industry. In an effort to bring international benchmarked practices, the Colombo Camps Community is organising the first-ever Software Product Engineering Conference, to be held on 14 June at the Grand Ballroom of Waters Edge.  ICTA is partnering with the Colombo Camps Community as the strategic partner for this event. This conference will feature seven international speakers who will be sharing their experiences and knowledge with real world case studies on a host of aspects on software engineering practices.

Some of the areas that the speakers will address at the conference are business aspects of software product engineering, mobile app development practices, automation, cloud computing and product architecture. For more information about this conference, please visit www.spec.lk.
