Sri Lanka Telecom, has signed an agreement with DPJ Holdings Ltd. to provide state-of-the-art Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network (IP-VPN) Solution to connect all of the branches to a single IP based network.

DPJ Holdings Ltd., is a dynamic group of companies, providing automation services, barcode systems, time and attendance solutions, retail, manufacturing, software development and is also in the midst of developing a Mini Super Market chain under the brand name of  ‘Go Getter’.

The investment in the new solution of IP-VPN allows the branch network of DPJ Holdings Ltd., to have access to a centralised IT network at any given time, enabling them to communicate with the head office and each other.

SLT designed network can carry Internet Protocol (IP) traffic – voice, video, mission critical and standard class data, helping to facilitate DPJ Holdings Ltd., with seamless connectivity.

DPJ Holdings Ltd. expects to expand their ‘Go Getter’ mini super market chain to 100 mini super shops islandwide within this year. SLT designed network solution will be flexible as well as scaleable to suit the company’s future expansion needs. This means that even as the number of branch offices increase, the investment required to make these offices in remote areas fully accessible in terms of communications is minimal.

The agreement is projected to cut down costs of inter-branch communication as well as increase productivity, resulting from cost effective real time communications.

The company will be able to maintain stock information online, inventory control, cash collection as well as sales information among others through this real time system.
