A leading ICT player in the Sri Lankan market, Bartleet Innovative Technologies partnered world-renowned network solutions provider Ruijie Networks of China as their “value-added distributor” in Sri Lanka. The partnership comes at a time where development of numerous projects across multiple sectors, both public and private, is at an all-time high. It is, therefore, of paramount importance that technological infrastructure is in place and functions seamlessly. Ruijie Networks is no stranger to national-scale technological infrastructure solutions and has played a vital role in the “digitisation” of industries across the service and national sectors in China and beyond. Ruijie’s extensive product line offers everything from switches and routers to cloud management software and other cloud-based solutions. Ruijie Networks makes its entrance into the Sri Lankan market through Bartleet Innovative Technologies, the IT sector of the leading local conglomerate, the Bartleet Group. Bartleet IT, one of the pioneers of the local IT industry, just completed its fourth decade in the trade. With a strong track record and presence in the BFSI sector, Bartleet IT is positioning itself through this partnership as a key player at the forefront of IT infrastructure and digitisation in Sri Lanka. The Bartleet IT networking team is now fully Ruijie-certified and compliant, having completed weeks of intensive on-the-job training to ensure they meet the high standards set by and expected from Ruijie Networks. In addition, a dedicated Ruijie training and demo centre has been set up within the Bartleet IT offices. Bartleet IT will market solutions for both the enterprise and small and medium-sized business (SMB) sectors which will include products such as switches, routers, and wireless solutions including gateways, firewalls, software, and cloud-based applications. Speaking of the partnership, Bartleet Innovative Technologies Director/CEO Omar Lebbé said: “In a fast-paced and rapidly evolving industry, the expertise and skills required to always be futuristic in ideas and execution is mandatory. The main challenge is to ensure a consistent customer experience. As an ICT cluster, we have been at the forefront of innovation and technological change in Sri Lanka for over 40 years. The Bartleet brand enhances the trust and confidence placed in us by our Customers.”
