Sri Lanka’s global country ranking jumped five places, to become 16th in the A.T. Kearney’s Global Services Location Index (GSLI). Consulting giant A.T. Kearney’s Global Services Location Index (GSLI), first established in 2004, analyses and ranks top 51 countries worldwide as the best destinations for providing off-shoring services, including IT services and support, contact centres, and back-office support.

“Sri Lanka moves up five places in this year’s index, as it develops a successful but relatively unknown knowledge services industry. With a highly educated talent base and sophisticated technical skills, Sri Lanka-based firms are providing advanced services to clients such as Google, Nokia, JPMorgan and London Stock Exchange. Offerings extend beyond software development and transaction processing to off-shore legal services, architectural drawings and medical diagnostics,” A.T. Kearney stated. “Our continuous, rapid upward growth in the rankings of A.T. Kearney’s Global Services Location Index, proves we are heading in the right direction. This further validates the growth potential of IT/BPM Industry Sri Lanka and I’m sure will encourage all of us to do better in the coming years,” said SLASSCOM Chairman Jayantha De Silva. “The latest A.T. Kearny report findings are a testament to the fact that Sri Lanka’s IT/BPM industry can reach great heights, and provide an enormous economic stimulus as a top net foreign exchange earner for the country.
