I had the pleasure of working with Nilanga at Sysco for just over one year. He was one of the Business Technology (BT) staff supporting the deployment of Sysco Supplier Suite (S3). Nilanga's aptitude for devising technical solutions, kind demeanour, responsiveness, and patience were critical to the successful deployment of S3. When I think of Nilanga, I can only think of positive things. I was sad to see him leave Sysco Labs but honoured to have worked with him!
