SLT signs agreement with Toyota Lanka

Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) has signed an agreement with Toyota Lanka, the sole distributor for the world's no.1 Toyota products in Sri Lanka providing the company with a total communications solution. SLT was successful in providing the total communication solution on an exclusive basis after ten years.

The solution includes voice telephony services, PABX infrastructure, broadband internet and Internet Protocol (IP) based branch network (IP/VPN). SLT's IPVPN solution connects the branches to the head office of Toyota Lanka, and is capable of carrying voice and mission critical data securely and reliably.

CEO, SLT Shoji Takahashi said, "We are very happy to provide our progressive partner Toyota Lanka with this total communication solution on an exclusive basis. Toyota is one of the best companies not just in Japan, but also the world over. From SLT's viewpoint, we aim at enhancing productivity as well as make operations smoother, providing a better service."

Managing Director, Toyota Lanka Nobuhiko Kato said, "I am pleased to have partnered with SLT, a giant in the field of telecommunication's in Sri Lanka.

Their solution will be a direct cost saving measure and it will also make our network more efficient in providing SLT high quality services for us".

The investment for this new solution of IPVPN allows all Toyota Lanka's branches, factory and head office to have access to a centralised information system and data bases at any given time, enabling effective communication. The network will be flexible and scalable, fitting in with the expansion needs as and when they arise.

It also means that as the number of branches increase, the investment required to make these offices fully accessible in terms of communication is minimal. The agreement is also projected to cut down costs of inter-branch communication as well as increased productivity resulting in cost effective communication.
