Growth And Job Opportunities

The General Manager of Cambio Software Engineering said that “Our future expansion will also require the best of Business Analysts, Software Developers and Quality Assurance/Test Engineers. Our new logo branding signifies change, especially for the next 10 years of operation, in our quest to transform Cambio to create a world class software development work environment for Sri Lankan software engineers.”

Cambio is an example of how Sri Lankan talent can be leveraged to develop world class products for the international market. The rapid growth of the Sri Lankan tech and software industry and the opening up of global markets is an opportunity for Sri Lanka to become a bigger player in the information systems and software development market. A large talent pool and competitive pricing means that Sri Lanka can snag a good percentage of the market share of healthcare systems and several other industry-specific information systems software. Opportunities are available and the time is ripe for Sri Lanka to get more involved in the global software industry.
