Ceylon Biscuits Limited (CBL), recognized as a Sri Lankan confectionery and food manufacturing conglomerate, has taken the initiative to embrace new technologies and development methodologies in collaboration with Microsoft to gain a stronger foothold in the market while delivering innovation.
CBL has worked closely with Microsoft Azure experts to ensure the smooth migration of processes and improve the knowledge, abilities, and expertise of their IT team to bolster several implementations, efficiently and effectively.
Rasith Wickramasingha, Group Director of Ceylon Biscuits Limited (CBL) commented, “CBL’s journey with Microsoft Azure has been nothing short of transformative. Our migration to this powerful cloud platform has not only enhanced our manufacturing efficiency but has also opened new possibilities for innovation and growth.”
“Collaborating with Microsoft and their partners has been instrumental in this journey, and we are excited to continue our pursuit of excellence in confectionery manufacturing, both in Sri Lanka and beyond.”
Acknowledging the importance of achieving better cost-effectiveness, scalability, and flexibility, CBL recently migrated to a fully managed Open Source Software Database (OSS DB) and Application Services on the Microsoft Azure Cloud platform.
The System Applications and Products (SAP) were integrated to a DevOps environment reducing network latency, insuring business system performance and stability with enhanced security and recovery capabilities.
This migration has resulted in the empowerment of the CBL Salesforce Team as the system now allows for real-time monitoring of sales and inventory, which optimizes the distribution and sales process.
Meanwhile, as a Licensing Solution Provider (LSP) and Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) providing Azure services to CBL, H One supported the company to leverage the full power of Microsoft Azure and ensure the effective and efficient use of the platform.
Harsha Randeny, Microsoft Country Manager for Sri Lanka and Maldives said, “As CBL operations continue to grow, it entails a complex environment and IT infrastructure. With Microsoft Azure technology, we are empowering CBL to manage their IT resources, while providing advanced tools and services that accelerate application development and deployment.”
“The built-in DevOps capabilities of Microsoft Azure will enable faster time-to-market for new products and services, enabling companies to stay ahead of the competition and help them to innovate and grow in today’s dynamic business environment.”
CBL’s migration to Microsoft Azure is ensuring a consistent and secure platform for the company through streamlining development, increasing efficiency, and maintaining a flexible environment.
