EM-TECH Symposium - March 15, 2014

March 15 would be the last day for the Symposium Series. It really was a great experience since it was my first time to actually conduct a seminar. It really is hard especially if things are not going according to plan but over-all it was a good experience.

The first speaker for the day was Mr. Ferdie Cacdac and he elaborated about the Fire Suppression System and Construction Technologies. His topic was right on queue since the month of March is considered to be Fire Prevention Month and I hope that people are aware about the chaos that fire may literally bring. Mr. Cacdac basically tackled about the existing products that his organization offers in preventing fire to most likely happen. Unfortunately, the talk only lasted for about 20 minutes and I really would like to know more about future devices which could immediately respond in case that fire begins to scatter within the area.

The next speaker for the day was Mr. Lee Mojado which is also our ENTARCH professor. He then discussed about what Big Data is and how does Hewlett Packard handle the voluminous amount of data. With reference to what Big Data is, it involves millions and billions of Data. Because of this situation, Hewlett Packard developed the HAVEn solution in managing the huge amount of data that exists. I can’t imagine how HP handles Big Data and I am somehow confused with the difference between what Big Data is compared to Data Warehousing. Over-all it was a nice talk since it gave me a glimpse on what should I expect from the real world as I step out from the university.

As for the next speaker, Ms. Lea Capati discussed her current project with the collaboration with Indra Philippines which is the organization that she currently works for. The topic that I was very interested was when she started to talk about the Traffic Management System that has been implemented by Indra Philippines. In my opinion, I am not aware that such a traffic management system already existed here in the Philippines, specifically in Metro Manila. Most of my friends rely on twitter to access information about the volume of traffic in specific places. I really am not that satisfied with the said traffic management system in Metro Manila. Maybe they could at least add more features that would make their target audience believe that the developed traffic management system could really eliminate or reduce the problems in managing traffic.

The last talk for the last symposium day was ended by Mr. Jason Acidre by tackling about what “Inbound Marketing Technology through SEO” is. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization which states that several search engines post the most up-to-date results in correlation to the keyword entered by the user. In my opinion I think that marketing all over the internet is quite a hard thing to do since you are not that familiar with the number of competitors that you are dealing with since the internet is really big. Moreover, I really want to know the standards that are considered by several search engines in presenting information about the most updated result or the most relevant information regarding the keyword entered on the search engine.
