			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, <a href="http://lirneasia.net/profiles/rohan-samarajiva/">Rohan Samarajiva</a> delivered a speech at TEDx Colombo held at the Punchi Theater, entitled “Government services:  Anytime, anywhere, any official language, now.”</p>
<p>Much emphasis was laid on the usage of ICT in order to help trilingual government service delivery. Using the T@BOP data he illustrated the popularity of mobiles among the Sri Lankan BOP, and therefore their suitability as a medium for accessing government services, to answer queries or assist in contacting other government offices.  This kind of help line service cannot be provided by private organizations; government has to be involved, in order to provide credibility. Ultimately, any citizen should be able to get things done, without hesitation, promptly, no matter what language they speak.</p>

<blockquote>BeePeeO Data Solutions is a socially motivated BPO service provider promoting a pro-nature, pro-poor, pro-women and pro-sustainable livelihood paradigm of technology development and dissemination by leveraging cutting-edge technology and flexible business process knowledge to set up delivery centers in rural areas.</p>
<p>We bridge the &#8216;Digital Divide&#8217; by making local Sri Lankan talent accessible to international companies, offering highly competitive rates and fast turnaround. It is a &#8216;win-win&#8217; proposition where companies obtain quick, cost-effective data and language services, while qualified talent in Sri Lanka finds employment without having to migrate to cities or overseas.</p>
<p>BeePeeO Data Solutions is a joint venture of a network of rural Telecentres (Nanasalas) in Sri Lanka led by Koslanda Nanasala and Glenanore Nanasala sponsored by the Information &amp; Communications Technology Agency (ICTA) and Sri Lanka Children&#8217;s Trust national voluntary service organization.</p></blockquote>
