Flintec signs agreement with Microsoft Enterprise

Flintec Transducers (Pvt) Ltd, a leading designer and manufacturer of high precision load cells for applications in the weighing scale market, now diversified into other heavy industries, recently signed an Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft Sri Lanka, availing of the IT giant’s unique offering to corporate customers.

The strategic partnership provides Flintec access to upto-date Microsoft software which will ensure that Microsoft technologies will be deployed across the organisation and used effectively under Microsoft’s expert guidance, enabling the company to achieve faster return on investments and more sophisticated risk management capabilities.

Flintec is the first company within an Export Processing Zone (EPZ) to sign an Enterprise Agreement directly with Microsoft Sri Lanka, which clearly demonstrates its commitment to provide reliable service to its global customer portfolio.

EPZs in Sri Lanka have been known to be ahead of other countries in the region in every respect. Set up at Katunayake in 1978, the EPZ rapidly became a centre of excellence in manufacturing a plethora of goods and services by global giants.

Explaining the rewards that corporates can reap from opting for a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, Sriyan de Silva Wijeyeratne, Country Manager of Microsoft Sri Lanka said, “The Microsoft Enterprise Agreement is specially designed to benefit medium to large sized organizations in multiple ways.

As an Enterprise Agreement licensee, a company will immediately experience greater business flexibility, achieve standardization and ensure compliancy, leading to a lower total cost of ownership.”

With this agreement, Flintec will be provided access to key tools and technologies which will enhance productivity and smooth operational IT infrastructure. With the new version Microsoft Office, Office 2007 and Windows Vista, Flintec employees will be able to enjoy greater productivity benefits in terms of cutting down time spent on daily tasks, rendering them free to attend to more pressing concerns.

Explaining his decision to enter into a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, Mareak Sekula, Managing Director, Flintec, said, “FLINTEC is a multinational company operating across three continents.

Our company offers sensor solutions for a variety of applications to customers across the globe and therefore our decision to partner with Microsoft gives us the assurance of being offered IT software requirements of globally accepted standards.”
