EFutures' Expertise Enables Eight Financial Institutions to Go Online

EFutures (Pvt) Ltd., one of Sri Lanka 's leading outsourced web and software solutions providers, reached a significant milestone, having enabled eight local financial institutions to make their presence felt on the World Wide Web.

The eight financial institutions, for which EFutures have developed corporate web sites, include Seylan Bank, National Savings Bank, Pan Asia Bank, NDB Housing Bank, Nations Trust Bank, DFCC Vardhana Bank, Commercial Leasing and First Capital Ltd.

Among these eight companies, the National Savings Bank web solution stands out as one of the most comprehensive solutions implemented by the Company. The web site, which will soon be available in all three languages, is continuing to enhance the relationship between the Bank and their customers through the addition of new features. The newest addition to this web site, which is due to be launched soon, is the facility that will allow customers of the Bank to make their loan payments online, via their credit cards.

EFutures' strength in the financial sector has also enabled them to acquire high profile clients from other spheres, such as the Board of Investment of Sri Lanka, MAS Holdings, Hayleys Ltd., Confifi Group, Investor Access Asia, George Steuarts, Lanka Canneries (MD), Readywear Industries and Maritime Holdings Ltd, among many others.

In addition to this, EFutures' impressive portfolio boasts of several foreign clients, with a number of companies from the US, Europe, Middle East, Singapore and India having worked with them for their software needs. It is this strength in outsourced corporate software development that has resulted in their meteoric rise in Sri Lanka 's web and software industry.

"EFutures is a firm believer in the vast potential of the Web. Our view of the Internet is simply centered on the 3C's - Convenience, Content & Commerce", stated Director, Rishen Fernando. "It is with this in mind that we plan the functionality and interface of corporate web sites for our valued clientele."

The Company designed, developed and implemented a complete web portal system for the Board of Investment in Sri Lanka . Such was the success of the web portal, that it was rated the second best IPA (Investment Promotion Agency) web site in the South Pacific, according to the ratings of the Strategic Direct Investor Magazine.

"Our young, dynamic team of executives is capable of delivering the highest caliber of work, using technologies such as .NET. This has enabled us to become the corporate choice in outsourcing, both in web and software development projects," stated Director, Prashan Nagendra. "Emphasis is placed on customer satisfaction, and, as such development is based on customer specifications and input," he added.

The Company also boasts of developing Sri Lanka 's first online trading system, CDAX (Colombo Direct Access eXchange) system, for Investor Access Asia. The system broke new ground recently by implementing technology that makes the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) accessible to investors anywhere in the world. It has provided the first seamless Internet trading system for stock broking houses in the island.

Having achieved so much in a relatively short period of four years, EFutures is now contemplating expanding their business into new areas of business in the local IT industry, in order to provide their clientele more value added products and services.
