SLASSCOM elects new board for 2011

The Sri Lanka Association of Software Services and Companies (SLASSCOM) plays a catalyst role with aggressive plans to capitalize the opportunities for Sri Lanka in 2011. The IT and BPO industry is projected to grow by 26 percent with export earnings estimated at US$ 390 million for 2010. Mass employment generation with more foreign direct income is being targeted by the national IT and BPO chamber.

Sri Lanka plans on building a niche focus on a few core areas in the IT and BPO industries globally to differentiate the countries offerings with other outsourcing destinations and with a vision to make the IT and BPO industry the number one export earner for the country.

SLASSCOM elected its third Board and General Council consisting of key industry leaders and decision makers to drive this vision for 2011.
