Dialog Axiata PLC is a Sri Lanka's leading ICT business solution provider and a market leader in unified communications, cloud, data center, and broadband Internet.
With the advent of 5G networks, telecom operators are chomping at the bit to push forward cloud transformation for faster business growth and better efficiency. Their fast-growing B2B businesses require more user-friendly, more cost-effective, and more efficient ICT services. Dialog was looking for a hybrid cloud solution that could be deployed on-premises, connect their local enterprise customers to public cloud services, and ensure data would not be transferred outside Sri Lanka.
After deploying an on-premises cloud, we will expand it to a hybrid cloud and then to a public cloud, aiming to achieve comprehensive cloud deployment.

Huawei Cloud Stack's on-premises cloud solution was able to meet these needs for Dialog. It helped Dialog manage their internal applications as well as run mission-critical applications for their customers in sectors like government, finance, and large enterprises. It also empowered companies in Sri Lanka to access essential cloud services, such as compute, storage, and network services, from the Huawei public cloud. It will also expand more advanced cloud services in the future.
Using Huawei Cloud Stack, Dialog has reduced the time to market (TTM) of applications in the BOM domain applications by 30% and has reduced the total cost of operation (TCO) by 20%. Huawei Cloud Stack provides Dialog with 80+ cloud services, such as IaaS, big data, AI, and database services. Dialog is migrating their workloads to Huawei Cloud Stack phase by phase. Centralized deployment and multi-cloud capabilities provided by Huawei Cloud Stack help Dialog centrally manage resources from multiple vendors with ease.
With this successful cloud and digital transformation project, Dialog was awarded Sri Lanka's Most Valuable Brand by Brand Finance in 2023.
