"Our office in Colombo will become an important regional hub for our business," Chris Sykes, chief executive of Volume said at a launch ceremony in Colombo.
"The team in Colombo will be a vital part of our fast growing company, collaborating closely with headquarters in the UK.
"
Benoit Alvarez, chief technology officer at Volume says the firm develops marketing applications for companies such as Dell, Oracle, Blackberry and BP.
The firm which has had a trial presence in Colombo had now set up a fully fledged office at the World Trade Centre and is looking to increase staff to 25.
Alvarez says Sri Lankan developers working in their London office was one reason to set up the office in Colombo.
"Sri Lanka was an option," says Alvarez.
"We looked at India, Vietnam. We looked at all these options, but it was quite natural for us to go with Sri Lanka.
"We had excellent relations with Sri Lankan developers in UK. They had been hardworking and trustworthy.
