The above modules will be supported with Document Management, Workflows & Reminders, Business Intelligent (BI) Tools, Dashboard and Mobile Apps.

Infor’s integrated resources management system will focus on bringing technology, business processes and people together to achieve optimal business results. Through analyzing these three factors with respect to performance, complexity, cost and utilization, Maga is confident that it will be able to implement control strategies to drive systems optimization, eliminate inefficiencies, reduce costs and optimize value generation across the board.

Commenting on this significant venture, the Chairman & Managing Director of Maga Engineering, Mr M. G. Kularatne stated “the introduction of a more integrated resource management software has been identified as an essential need for Maga, in the face of our continuous expansion and the resulting business needs.
