Mitra Innovation chosen as technology partner by Cambodian communications company
A company with Sri Lankan roots, Mitra Innovation, which is a fast-growing UK Technology solutions provider specialising in digital transformation, cloud enablement, and software development, has reportedly been chosen as the technology partner by Cambodia’s fastest, fully integrated communications company, Cellcard.
The system upgrade is expected tobenefit their three million plus subscriber base in the Kingdom of Cambodia.
According to reports, Cellcard offers a full range of mobile communications and entertainment services for consumers, with a wide range of service innovations for voice, messaging, international roaming, wireless broadband, and value-added services.
Cellcard had wanted to completely revamp their ‘Cellcard Self Service App’ to enhance how their customers communicate, and to provide the best possible speeds. The requirement was for a development team to take on this task—Mitra’s agile development team had fit the bill.
“This is a major update of the App,” Kevin Speering, Project Manager at Mitra Innovation has been quoted as saying in the local media. “The App was re-written from the ground-up, with new architecture, and developed by Mitra’s in-house developers, introducing exciting new functionalities. Users now subscribe to various new services and ad-ons with a single swipe. Localization was implemented in three languages: Khmer, English, and Chinese.”
Thilina Herath, Software Architect at Mitra Innovation has said, “The App was imperative for Cellcard to penetrate the market quickly and stay competitive. We implemented a hybrid app development approach using a react native framework for both iOS and Android apps. We used AWS serverless architecture to build all backend components, with numerous integration points, and internal and external systems, enabling a seamless user experience for customers.”
Meanwhile, Dammika Ganegama, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Mitra Innovation has noted, “Mitra’s relationship with Cellcard has been such an opportunity where progressive thinking and persistent effort has helped in the reimagining of business in the digital age. I congratulate Cellcard on their success for being the fastest, and more convenient mobile customer experience in Cambodia today.”
