SLT CEO Kiththi Perera said, “The ICT industry is an industry that is rapidly evolving and is critical to the development of a country. Therefore, it is imperative that ICT organisations remain several steps ahead of our customers’ needs and possess the ability to quickly adapt to changes. This certification helps us to do just that and remain competitive. It has helped us to further enhance our efficiency and productivity whilst helping to keep costs to a minimum. Our QMS was first implemented in the year 2010 and we first received the ISO 9001 certification back in 2011. We have not stopped there, but continue to maintain and continually improve our QMS as well as related internal processes according to the requirements of the ISO 9001:2015, always ensuring that we adhere to the best practices in the ICT industry, thereby playing a catalytic role in our country’s development.”
