Organised in collaboration with Microsoft Sri Lanka, the event aimed to drive Sri Lankan enterprises towards a data-driven future and foster collaboration in leveraging data for business growth. The event was graced by top IT professionals from leading corporates in the country. 

Welcoming the gathering, H One Ltd. Director/Chief Executive Venura Mendis said: “Data and AI is driving a fundamental change in how we all do our jobs and it will impact everyone from a software developer to a lawyer. At the Data and AI Forum, we emphasised the importance of data-driven decision-making and how it can fuel business growth. H One, in collaboration with Microsoft, is dedicated to empowering companies on their analytics and AI journey. Together, we provide the tools, technologies, and expertise to unlock the true potential of data and AI, enabling organisations to make informed decisions, drive automation and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.” 

Dialog Enterprise Head of Data Insights Eranda Adikari also addressed the gathering of top IT professionals from leading corporates. He shared valuable insights and experiences from Dialog’s successful analytics journey, showcasing their commitment to empowering industry peers and driving data-driven transformation. Adikari emphasised, “Building an intelligent enterprise with data is the key to unlocking new growth opportunities. At the Data and AI Forum, we shared insights and strategies for leveraging data to revolutionise businesses.

Dialog Axiata PLC Group Chief Data and AI Officer Dr. Romesh Ranawana demonstrated the prowess of ChatGPT, an AI-driven model, showcasing its mastery in driving organisational growth. Dr. Ranawana stated, “Intelligent applications powered by ChatGPT have the potential to transform user experiences. However, when it comes to developing and deploying chatbots in a production environment, utilising Azure API offers additional benefits. With Azure API, you gain advantages such as customisation, security, scalability, integration, and support. This provides a more tailored and reliable solution for maximising the potential of intelligent applications. At the Data and AI Forum, the audience was able to explore these possibilities firsthand.” 

The collaborative effort by H One Ltd. and Microsoft brought together industry leaders, providing a platform for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and innovation. Attendees explored the transformative power of advanced AI technologies and the benefits they can bring to Sri Lankan enterprises. 

The event also highlighted how H One Ltd. is leveraging the valuable lessons learned internally within Dialog Enterprise to impact the wider enterprise ecosystem. This strategic approach aims to empower Sri Lankan enterprises with data-driven solutions, enabling them to make informed decisions, foster innovation, and gain a competitive edge.
