Scicom Set To Start Operations In Sri Lanka And Indonesia

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 3 (Bernama) -- Scicom (MSC) Bhd, which provides technology enabled business process outsourcing solutions, is set to start its business operation in Sri Lanka and Indonesia by early 2012. Its Group Chief Executive Officer, Leo Ariyanayakam said the company which offered its services to multinational companies in Malaysia was going into these countries as there was a rising demand for customer services in these emerging markets. "We are going into these areas on the basis of confirmed business, we are not being speculative," he told reporters after the company's annual general meeting here on Thursday. He said the company had already set up centres in the two countries, but full force operations will only be realised within the next financial year. "We have a whole series of products and services that allow us to expand not only in Malaysia but also across these two geographies as well. "We are setting up in Indonesia because it is a booming market with 240 million population and there is a huge expectation and demand for customer services," he said. On its centre in Indonesia, he said Scicom expected to leverage on its association there as Telkom Indonesia was the company's largest shareholder. --BERNAMA
