The local office of an international business software developer announced recently that it has, to date, signed up approximately 40 companies "within the Carson Group" across Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia for its E-Business Suite product, including as many as 11 palm oil plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Calling this a "landmark project", its developer, Oracle Sri Lanka, identified the most recent of these product deployments to be at GoodHope Asia Holdings Ltd (GAHL), a Carson Group subsidiary incorporated in Singapore which, according to a Oracle statement, "has diverse business interests in Colombo, Sri Lanka and across South East Asia, with oil plantations run by Carson Cumberbatch PLC".
Additionally, GAHL's IT Director Kevin DeSilva, quoted in Oracle's statement, indicated that the product "[centralised] our financial, human resources, and product ordering and trading operations, which has significantly reduced the cost associated with managing these functions across the group", while Oracle's statement reiterated that the product had cut the time required for financial reporting to "three days rather than weeks or months". |
