H-Connect Ltd., the shared services arm of Hirdaramani, won the Silver award for the Best Shared Services Team in Asia at the 19th Shared Services Excellence Awards held in Singapore.

The event was part of the Shared Services and Outsourcing Week – Asia, organised by the Shared Services and Outsourcing Network (SSON), the largest professional networking organisation for the global shared services industry.

H-Connect won the Bronze award for the same category in 2015, effectively creating history by being the first Shared Services Centre in Sri Lanka to win two years consecutively. H Connect CEO Dilush Perera accepted the SSON award at the ceremony held at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, Singapore.

Perera commented: “We are delighted to win the prestigious SSON Silver award for being the Best Shared Services Team in Asia for the second year in a row. To win Silver amongst a highly competitive list of nominees is a reflection of H-Connect’s commitment to best practices, whilst also underscoring the fact that we have improved on last year’s Bronze award performance.

I believe that our customer-centric culture is one of the core values that have brought us these accolades.

H-Connect is committed to widen the spectrum of the BPO market by providing unrivalled experiences and efficient services that exceed customer expectations. We were the first BPO Company in Sri Lanka to adopt the latest ISO 27001:2013 standard for information security. Our cutting-edge technical team and our strong partnerships with our clients give us the confidence to test our limits.”
