Stepping forward to facilitate the timely requirement of backup
offices, the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology has
undertaken to provide business continuity services to several leading
organisations in the country, among which, the most recent has been Amba
Research (Pvt) Ltd.
Amba Research is a specialist provider of investment research and
analysis support services for investment managers, investment banks and
independent research and analysis firms.
It operates across all major financial asset classes, including
equities, credit, fixed income, commodities, currencies and derivatives.
Amba services reach clients in all major financial hubs from its offices
in Colombo, Bangalore, San Jos, (Costa Rica), New York, London and
Singapore.
Under the latest agreement, staff of Amba Research (Pvt) Ltd., will
operate from the SLIIT Malabe disaster recovery facility, in case of
emergency. SLIIT provides infrastructure for business operations of the
company, until their main set up is restored to normalcy. SLIIT
maintains the facility with high-end computers, software, printers,
networking infrastructure with high speed internet connectivity and all
office facilities.
The facility which will be kept on standby under normal conditions,
is expected to receive the company staff for business resumption within
three hours following a disaster.
Managing Director and CEO of SLIIT, Prof. Lalith Gamage said that
SLIIT will soon promote business continuity services for Indian
companies. "This is a good business opportunity for Sri Lanka," he said.
SLIIT also provides disaster recovery facilities for companies such
as Industrial and Financial Systems of Sweden. |
