My COMDDAP Expo Davao 2009

July 6, 2009

  “Where the highest mountain in the land rises over the vast rich plains of Davao, where the king of Philippine birds soar over his domain, the giant of all Philippine I.T. shows once more unfolds its latest event.” COMDDAP Davao Expo 2009 on July 2-4 at the Apo View Hotel unfolds its I.T latest event for this year. The Computer Manufacturers Distributors and Dealers Association of the Philippines or the COMDDAP launched its exposition to share their latest innovation of products and technology, the ballroom was occupied by different booths which was perfect to exhibit their innovation of technology, which also entertain me as a visitor for the event. The ballroom was filled with some students and majority business man and I.T people, its so entertaining to watch that every booth showcase different latest technology and cool gadgets. I appreciate how encouraging they offer their product to the visitor which they would allow you to test their gadget. All stuff were so cool and amazing not to mention how much those product would cost and yet I believe it would surely be worthy.

 

I attended the COMDDAP Exposition at July 2 which was Thursday and my intention for the event was to have a seminar and watch exhibit booths that display at the ballroom. But seriously I was up to the seminar that was at the Vanda function room at the Apo View Hotel. The seminar comprises of different topic representativity by different manufacturer and dealer which highlight the event though there are also other seminar that have a premium class that would cost in every event. The only thing that I attended was the free seminar in P.M session. The seminar was presented by The Nexus Group(TNG) and every presentation title has its different speaker. I like how the flow of seminar was work and every speaker was prepared in discussing they’re product.

 

The first presentation on that afternoon was from the Jupiter Systems Inc. they prensented us their system the ERIC(Empowerment Resource Information and Control) Dealer Management System or the ERICDMS which is an end-to-end software solution for automotive dealer operation. The system comprises of different range of solution the Customer Relationship Management(CRM), Vehicle Sales and Administrator(VSA), and the Service Management(SVM) which I think a one package of solution for your business speicifically on the automotive dealer operation, i heard also that it showcase a POS(Point of Sales). He discussed us about the flow of the operation of the system from the start to an end, he also show us some snap picture from the system which show some of  the operation from the ERICDMS, which was a good example to catch our attention as a audience on that seminar because as for myself it so hard to relate on how operation of the automative dealer work, though I had some knowledge on his explanation about the databases and the system but I cannot fully relate my on the operation. It was a good experience for me I can say to sit and listen to that seminar because I had a experience on working like that system before on my previous project working on queries and transact, I can say it was a large system and yet as my eye saw those snap picture from the system I can say it was a complex system as a audience because of those forms, I believe also it was a perfect system if you are a automotive dealer and needing a fully working system that will help you transact and track the record of your operation, surely ERICDMS will satisfy and will have solution to your problem.

 

The next presentation is from the Nexus Technologies Inc. the HP Thin Client it is a computing device that function as a device on a network without a hardrive that packaged a solution on a business facing problem like network security, replacement cost, data access and other problems, which cater a great advantage for the company. As I had listen the HP Thin Client offers many great feature that will surely answer those basic problem facing by the company though if you are a Consultant or a MIS person in your company you would surely think it as a solution for the long-run of the company. Basically hearing all explanation from the presentor of the seminar of the HP Thin Client mesmerize me as a audience no doubt on the desktop innovation and its access which reliability of the product would surely satisfy you as a user, but my only comment is that I think that these Thin Client would work best if you are in a company with many work station. As far as I had remember from the presentation(Comment me if im wrong) that it also work a stand alone desktop and i dont think that it would be a advantage for me to use these desktop because as I had remember that you cannot install easily a program software because the interface you are using is only virtual from the server which is the main. All access in your computer is just a virtual from the server and you are only using it as a interface, and I as a student couldn’t not afford such like these server maybe someday if I would be a president of a big company would be surely recommendable. But to sum it all the Advantage Dominates the HP Thin Client and I think it is the best solution and I really appreciate that these technology are getting smaller and powerful inside.

 

I Really Enjoyed the COMDDAP EXPO DavaO! Hope that there would lots of exposition and free seminars to come because I believe Davao produce competitve IT to compete to the world.
