COMDDAP is an association of the country's top information technolgy businesses. Its primary objective is to promote the sustainable development of the of the country's information technology industry through voluntary collaboration of its member companies. COMDDAP’s goal is to be able to provide its members general views and updates from different sectors - private and government, and highly regarded individuals to further uplift the morale and knowledge of its organization.
The vision of promoting and elevating the standards of Information technology (IT) in the Philippines fueled a group of prominent computer companies to form the Computer Distributors and Dealers Association of the Philippines or COMDDAP. Its initial member-companies represent the world's leading makers and providers of computer products, solutions and peripherals.
COMDDAP’s objective was to promote the use of information technology, make computers affordable, and supply the market with quality products at reasonable prices. With that, they held an annual event to encourage students, young professionals or even those interested in technology to take part on their event as they launch their products and services as well as hold seminars with a variety of topics in the areas of technology, trends, applications, and information management. The said event was held at the grand ballroom of the Apo View Hotel, Davao City.
Insights..
I was there around 1:00pm together with my classmates and friends. As we enter the ballroom portal, I was then stunned of those booth displayed. Latest technology was present. We get to know of the latest trend.The exhibit is really amazing. We had a chance to get closer to those latest technologies, which eventually can be a great help to all of us in terms of our studies. Actually the said event was a good activity especially to us students since the whole thing on the said event is informative. We learned something beneficial in our part as students at the same time were having fun. The seminar started late because the first session ended late that morning. At first its quite boring but as time goes by I already enjoyed it.
The first presenter is Mr. Celmer Santos from Jupiter Systems Inc. He discussed about DMS (Deale Management System). It is a system used in car dealership and sales transactions. It is a 24-year-old software company and is one of the pioneers of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems in the Philippines. They’re not jus operating here in the Philippines but also across the Asia Pacific. Dealer Management System is also a complete end-to-end solution for Auto Management. He discussed about Dealer Management System Coverage, which includes Customer Relationship Management, Vehicle Sales and Administration, Service Management and Parts Inventory.
The second part of the seminar is about Thin Client. I consider the topic as a good and exciting one since all of us can barely relate. Mr. Leonard then discussed it. What is HP Thin Clients? It is computing device without a hard drive, which displays data and applications from remotely located servers, blade PC’s or virtual desktop. It can be used independently, as a task specific computing
device with a minimal set of applications installed. Most ideal platform is also used.
The benefits of using HP Thin Clients:
Overall, I really enjoyed the experience on that event. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any freebies but still I have fun at the same time I learned something new. Good thing that theres a kind of event that will make each and every one of us aware of the latest technology. Thanks to COMDAPP.
