Our assignment no. 1 is to identify a company/organization(s) best IT/IS practices. In connection with this, as of June 24,2009, we(adaptar,amancio,millena,llemit,mancera and gonzales) decided to find certain company or organization to conduct an interview in order to answer a certain assignment. But, we're unfortunate that day because when we are ready with our letter for the approval to our professor, we need to make revisions and he also need first the profile of a company which we don't know yet.
June 25, 2009 - this is the second day of trying our luck. We surfed the internet to find different company's profile to present to our professor with the letter to be approved. But, unfortunately again, our professor is not around. He's very busy with his business appointments. :cry: On the other side, in order to save our time, even though we don't have an approved letter, we tried o call some company. Including to our list of companies and also institutions are:
1.)AMS Group of Companies
2.)Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, Inc.
3.)eTelecare Global Solutions
4.)DCCII
5.)ACDC
6.)HCDC
When we tried to call at Phoenex,the Human Resource Department Head of Phoenix Philippines Inc. is the one who got the call and then she said that we can visit to their company anytime. After hearing the good news, we hurriedly went to their main office which is located at Stella Hizon, Reyes Road, Barangay Pampanga, Davao City. When we arrived there, we're amazed of their big tanks. And then after that, we introduced ourselves where we are from what school to the guards. Two of our classmates,Adaptar and Gonzales had the conversations there inside but unfortunately, we did not have the time to proceed to interview because they need first the approved letter. We're very dismayed. And now, I will just post some informations about the Phoenex and then next time after we can interviewed their in-charge I will post about the assignments.

July 2, 2009 - Our group visited the GH Office Depot Bldg. to give the approval letter fro our company.
July 3, 2009 - That day, at exactly 2:30 pm, we went to GH Office Depot Bldg. to conduct an interview to their IT personnel. Gladly, we were intertained well there. So, we did not hesitate to do our purpose.
Their IT personnel look like a fresh graduate. We feel comfortable to question him. First, I will give you some informations about their company.
The company started as small office stationery dealer in 1967. By the grace of God and through its continuous quest for quality and better products to serve its clientele. It has gained the confidence and patronage of its clients. The clientele expanded to what it is today, a big solid majority share in the market.
The company opened its door to the general public in 1995 by opening up a modest yet modern retail outfit. A supermarket-type of stationery store. The concept was overwhelming accepted by the general public.
The retail outlet and network continue to grow and expand. Today, it is a big business outfit housed in a modern complex with all the convenient facilities and amenities.
The GH OFFICE DEPOT carries in its inventory more than 12,000 items of office items to serve its clients. The company keeps on updating and upgrading its list of items to cope up with the current trend in office management. And to serve its clients with the latest and most up-to-date office supplies and equipments.
When we asked their IT personnel about their IT best practices, he just mention back upping of files. This is very important in the programmers to back up files in order to have a copy if ever there's malfunction of their computers. He also said that their facilities(technological) can be include to their best practices. Some of which are, cctv, biometric, barcode scanner and inquiry, also their cameras, especially their website. The one whom monitoring or assigned for cctv is their boss. He said that since it is a family owned business, if ever there's some request like for example request of resigning, that will directly go to their boss/manager. There system is just new to upgrade as he said. They were able to used dos operating system but now, for the server they have XP. They have also Windows 2000 and Vista.
