PC House becomes Microsoft OEM Partner status

PC House Pvt Ltd last week announced its appointment as an OEM Partner by the world’s leading IT giant Microsoft, becoming the only company in Sri Lanka to enjoy such a status.

Among the privileges and benefits PC House will enjoy as being an OEM Partner are world class branding for its PCs, a dedicated account team, deep strategic alignment with Microsoft, enhanced business operations efficiency, a comprehensive technical services portfolio and a focused marketing vehicle among others. With the OEM Partner Status, PC House is now on even terms with other global brands. “We see this appointment as an endorsement of our commitment and dedication to providing customers a total solution in this mission critical industry”, PC House Managing Director S.H.M. Rishan told a news conference in Colombo. “We also interpret this as a parallel honour for our branded computer Panora, Sri Lanka’s first ever locally innovated branded computer. In fact Panora Computers also achieved another ‘first’ when our PCs qualified to carry the “Designed for Windows XP” Logo, by Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs.

This is a great achievement for a local brand and clearly demonstrates the world class quality of the Panora PC.”

Country Manager Microsoft Sri Lanka (Pvt) Ltd Sriyan de Silva Wijeyeratne said, “In order to become an OEM Partner, stringent criteria has to be met. Panora computers were certified for the MS Windows Operating system and are the first locally manufactured PC to have achieved this status.”
