（July 1, 2010)-Today, the Asianux Consortium announced that Enterprise Technology (Pvt) Limited of Sri Lanka officially joins Asianux Consortium as the 6th member. So far Asianux business already covers 6 Asian countries and delivers their service through their members which are Red Flag in China, Miracle Linux in Japan, HAANSOFT in Korea, VietSoftware in Vietnam, WTEC in Thailand and now Enterprise Technology in Sri Lanka.
Enterprise Technology (Pvt) Limited is one of the leading IT companies in Sri Lanka with over 15 years experience in providing business-critical Information Communication Technology (ICT) solutions for major Sri Lankan Corporations. Staffed with highly qualified, trained and certified professionals, Enterprise Technology was the first systems integrator to migrate to Linux over 100 computers on one single site therefore boosting corporations’ confidence in Linux solutions. By joining Asianux, Enterprise Technology diversifies into developing the Linux and Open Source market in Sri Lanka with Asianux products.
The Open Source culture has been developing in Sri Lanka for a long time. Sri Lankan Open Source communities and corporations are contributing to the global Open source world through many projects such as Apache AXIS, Synapse, the Sahana Disaster Management System and Google open source project. Although Open Source Software and Linux represent an emerging market in Sri Lanka, Enterprise Technology is convinced that it is the right time to build and develop this market in Sri Lanka.
The Asianux Consortium differentiates itself from other Linux vendors with its unique ‘4-CO’ business model: co-development, co-brand, co-support and co-marketing. Working towards establishing (or ”Having established”) a real Asian standard Linux platform, Asianux combines the wisdom of its Asian members and takes advantage of integrated local resources, recruiting highly qualified members from every Asian country. Asian countries, with their strong intention to promote their respective local software industry and OSS technology, are enthusiastically witnessing Asianux winning business model and they give it applause all across Asia.
