TRAVEL REPORT

Seminar Overview

Information and Communication Technology Companies here in Davao City are progressing.  Davao City is on its fastest development in terms of advancement, changes and technology because of these ICT Companies. One of these companies is the Concentrix-Synnex, which we had the chance to get to know more about this company since we conducted our minor field trip there. We had the opportunity to learn more about the field and to asked questions.   

               

Day 1

 Concentrix-Synnex is located at the Damosa, Davao City. It is August 27, 2014 when we had our minor field trip. We we’re quite excited since early in the morning we are already there. We waited for maybe an hour until we are accommodated. I was quite disappointed since they don’t follow the exact scheduled time. We are toured by batch and our batch was accompanied by Miss Quennie. She’s from the Human Resource (HR) Department. Their Company has a principle 3V’s; Visibility, Velocity and Value. Their Vision is to value through their investment in Innovative Technology Solution and people worldwide. The rooms she showed us are pretty nice since it is big. We we’re amazed by their facilities but I am not that interested about their company. She just talked more about what they have and all the incentives if you’re an employee of that company. When we get to their Server Room, she introduces us to Mr. Rav, one of the programmers of the company. Rav, talked about their networks and what type of database they are using. Their Department is called MIS which all the servers, networks and infrastructures are in there. He also said that their company has this department called ADG or their development group they handles the job of system analysis, quality assurance and development.

What I learned?

 I learned that in the real world not all thought by the school will be applied. I learned that you should go out of your shell or on your comfort zone. Try to explore and learn new things. Seek for more and desire for increase since learning never stops when you graduated.  

What I liked?

 I like the place and some of the people there. I also like their policies and principle. I like their environment and I like how they organized their company.

What I didn’t like?

 I didn’t like that they started to accommodate us late.

APPENDIX

What I recommend for the improvement of the advance seminar program of USEP?

 I recommend to visit to those really Information Communication Technology Companies, and to ensure that the students can learn more about the field not just about the company.

My advice to those who will take their advance seminar program in the near future.

 My advice for those who will take their advance seminar program in the near future is learn more, ask more and seek for more. Don’t just settle for what was given. Go outside of your comfort zone. Never be afraid to ask questions.
