Gayan Kanchana

Suntel is planning business expansion in the North and the East with the dawn of peace in the country.

“With the dawn of peace and the huge demand for telecom sector services in the country, we are planning to expand our business in the North and the East after the launch of a planned new data centre in Kandy, said Manager Marketing and Promotion, Enterprise Sector Suntel Ltd., Asanga Witharana.

“Very recently we launched our newest second data centre in Malabe spending 7 million US dollars. Our next target is to launch our third data centre in Kandy and we are keen to expand our business to the rural market segment too. Hence we have decided to start business in the North and the East soon after the Government gives clearance,” he said.

He said, “Telecommunications continues to be one of the world’s fastest-growing industries, both in technological innovations and user base. Successful telecommunications providers are able to respond to the growing need for service efficiency while building positive customer relationships.

The company has an all-digital network that connects thousands of residential customers and businesses ranging from corner shops to multinational corporations. To expand our corporate business sector we are promoting Converged Voice Data Video Solution because this service enables Suntel to take corporate and business telecommunication to the next generation of networking.

This facilitates business productive applications and economization of resources to zero on capital expenditure, and most importantly reduces operational expenses,” Witharana said.

The technology enables consumers not to spend on capital equipment but to rent it as an operational expense based business model. This enables companies to share the same platform and minimize capital investment, at times zero investment, yet share one of the advanced cost economizing features such as remote office, and unified communication features across devices, he said.

“We are indeed happy to have introduced the latest technology to Sri Lanka to help companies overcome difficulties by trimming costs without any capital investment which is hard to come by these days,” he said.
