Since Microsoft-Sri Lanka inception in 2003, Sarvodaya had been a
powerful partner, and we are looking for a greater future ahead " Mr.Sriyan De Silva Wijeratne, Country Manager, Microsoft Sri Lanka. |
Sarvodaya was one of the entities appreciated at the
“Microsoft Annual Partner Conference
and Awards Night 2011” aptly titled “ Powerful Partnerships” on Sep 13, 2011 held at Hotel Galadari.
Microsoft’s philosophy stems from Microsoft Corporation Chairman Bill Gates’ desire to see as many people as possible have access to software across the world. We see this as a responsibility, stemming from that philosophy. As a result, when a need is there, Microsoft will stand behind that need. Our focus is very widely spread.

Mr.Sriyan calls this “ creative capitalism”. Taking the ICT
benefits to rural Sri Lanka is Microsoft’s aspiration, and Sarvodaya-Fusion had
been with them from its’ inception in 2003. He links this to Sri Lanka’s climb
in global competitive index from 79 to 52 in 2 years. http://gcr.weforum.org/gcr2011/
Yet technology readiness is an issue. That’s where
‘knowledge creation’ is important. Microsoft plans to do this in coming years
with indepth relationships with their partners in private, NGO, and public
sector.
I wish them all the best for an active role for a visionary
Sri Lanka.
P.S: I dedicate this ‘Fusion Education’ video to Microsoft
for their whole heartedness in supporting rural IT education in Sri Lanka.
