CSSL, OPA joint seminar

The Computer Society of Sri Lanka (CSSL - www.cssl.lk) is organizing many events and activities to support professionals in Sri Lanka. One such event is a joint seminar organized with the Organization of Professional Associations in Sri Lanka (OPA).

The CSSL was established in 1976 in Sri Lanka for the purpose of promoting Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and professionalism among those engaged in this field, and to maintain the highest professional standards among the ICT fraternity.

OPA is the representative body of leading professional organizations in Sri Lanka. The OPA is in its 34th year and is recognized as the organization representing major professions in the country. There are 42 member associations, with a total membership of about 36000 professionals.

This joint seminar is on ‘BPO – Business Process Outsourcing – The golden opportunity for Sri Lanka’. ‘Outsourcing’ is to contract out an organization’s operations to a third party.

If Business Processes such as customer service (call centre) activities, financial accounting, ICT support, data entry, data management, administration and other organizational functions are outsourced, then it is termed Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). This sector is emerging as an important sector for foreign revenue generation and youth employment creation.

The event will be held on May 4 from 6.00 pm to 7.00 pm and will be held at the OPA auditorium on Prof. Stanley Wijesundera Mawatha, Colombo.

Speakers are Yasas Vishuddhi Abeywickrama of the Lanka BPO Academy, Dharshana Illamperuma of the Lanka BPO Academy and Amjad Ibrahim from Carsons Shared Services BPO.
