IIT-wins

In recognition for developing the most cutting-edge software solutions, Informatics International Limited (Informatics) once again bagged the Gold award under the E-Government and Services Category at the National Best Quality Software Awards (NBQSA) 2015 which recently concluded.

Informatics received this latest accolade for the product InfoID, which is an end-to-end software solution for the registration of persons. Informatics received this award for the most innovative nomination for developing ICT solutions that support electronic government initiatives and service delivery to the community. This award is given to solutions that enable transformation of internal and external government processes toward customer-centricity, providing service delivery opportunities to better fulfil the purposes of government to provide efficiency and effectiveness, as well as fairness and equitability.

The InfoID software solutions commenced operations for the Department of Registration of Persons (DRP), which is the sole authority involved in the registration of all Sri Lankan citizens and the issuing of the National Identity Cards.

The implementation of InfoID has empowered the Department of Registration of Persons by the computerisation of all registration details and enabling the Department to share information with relevant government agencies through an online platform with ease.

Commissioner General of Registration of Persons, R.M.S. Sarath Kumara said that changing of the manual paper based system that was being operated over the last 43 years into an automated system of registration of persons and issuance of the identity card, with Informatics as the solutions provider is a milestone of the department.

“In the manual paper based system, there were many issues and shortcomings faced by the Department in ensuring the identity of a person accurately and it was an issue to the people when obtaining services from public and private institutions. With the automation of the key functions of the DRP, it is now able to issue the current Identity Card with printing of information in Sinhala and Tamil languages in an efficient and effective way,” the Commissioner General said.

Informatics Group Managing Director Hiran Wickramasinghe said that Informatics has been in the forefront of empowering organisations and industries through the development and implementation of state-of-the-art software solutions.

“Receiving the NBQSA Award for the fifth time demonstrates the potential of the products developed by Informatics. We have been playing a pivotal role in providing end-to-end solutions to vital government agencies. Software solutions such as InfoBorder and InfoID have helped in the development of the country by taking Sri Lanka to a digital world. We strive to provide the most cost effective and efficient solutions that will help the progress of an organisation,” Wickramasinghe said.
