Pronto Software establishes new R&D group

Australian enterprise resource planning (ERP) and business intelligence (BI) software provider, Pronto Software and the Amazai Group announced the opening of PSL Development Limited (PSL).

PSL is Pronto’s new Development Group based in Colombo. The Sri Lanka Development Group is an additional hub of innovation for Pronto’s expanding portfolio of web, mobile and integrated technologies.

The choice to establish the new Development Group in Sri Lanka is borne from Pronto’s already strong ties with the country.

“Pronto’s Research and Development team has a strong connection to Sri Lanka, with many of our team of Sri Lankan descent.

Sri Lanka has a fast growing ICT industry and a good pool of IT talent, particularly in the area of mobility.

The Sri Lanka Development Group will focus on adapting Pronto’s enterprise software so it works better with mobile apps on devices such as smartphones and tablets,” said Chad Gates, Development Manager, Pronto Software.

“The investment by Pronto is a boost to Sri Lanka’s emerging ICT industry.

We are excited to see more innovation come out of our IT talent here,” said Omer A Fareed, President, Amazai Group.

R&D is a key focus for Pronto. Besides the opening of the new Sri Lanka Development Group, the company also recently expanded its R&D operations in Australia. The Australian based R&D team focuses on innovating the core Pronto Xi ERP product suite and infrastructure applications.”

“Pronto is a fast growing global IT company, this initiative will strengthen Pronto’s capability to expand our product portfolio and deliver software solutions that are innovative, flexible to suit unique customer requirements and deliver business results for users,” Gates added.
