1. what 3 major lessons you learned from this course.

I have learned a lot when i took my ITPro class. I already have an idea that the teacher would be "exciting" and at the same time can be a "spawn from...".

- I did learn from this course that you do not know everything. I thought i already knew how to navigate my way through the Windows operating system, but i realized there can be different ways to do that. I was pretty confident with my skills in Office applications like Excel, Powerpoint. Until i encountered the 7 modules. It was terrible, I barely passed some of the exams and even failed in some of them. I have always kept an open mind, learn new things, and sometimes you do need to go back to the basics to learn more stuff.

- This course has a lot of requirements and i had a hard time working on them. I have 3 jobs(my day job, my teaching job, moonlighting) and for some inexplicable reason, i took this my masters. Im very busy, but i never realized I still had the energy and commitment to finish the requirements. My team/classmates helped me get through this hell, always saying, "hey, we enrolled this subject, lets try to finish what we started".

- I have never given much thought about blogging but now, well, i have a blog for my masters, and a spinoff for other stuff. Actually, i link my spinoff to my masters so some guys would read it. I alreay installed a traffic counter, and because of my posts, i got a lot of hits even from outside the country.

2. what new topics should be taught in this course.

Im not really sure if we need new topics as of now, but i guess, for more enrichment, add more cases and exercises. Maybe if there are new technologies to discuss, probably.

3. what improvements should be done for this course.

I the class has no IT background, it is a good idea to give more background on some cases or give extra assistance so they will at least have an idea what theyre getting into.

... BSOD ...

Microsoft is about to release Windows Vista for business users... professional edition...maybe, im not sure though. As you know, the guys from Redmond always has a way of developing versions or editions. I heard that the edition for "regular users" would be released early next year.

A new version is always nice...pretty exciting for everyone, but one hell of a problem for developers. New versions mean compatibility tests for existing products, if its not compatible, the worse thing is developing the product from scratch (ack!)

Anyway, need to get some sleep, big day tomorrow.

i got a feeling Mr. Ruero is going ballistic again tonight...IF my classmates have not updated their blog entries yet. and i do not want to spend 5 hours sitting on the lab trying to comment on entries about IT outsourcing and the results on the freakin modules...

"Yey, i got 95% on Access"

try to comment on that please...help me out... can you think of something deep and profound about that entry?

"To Outsource or not to Outsource"

how bout that one...? im sure you can think about a lot things to write, but try to do that...say about 10 times... for blogs that were not updated...???

*help*

...stuck on the 15th floor in middle of the freakin storm...

2006-10-07T16:16:00.000+08:00

i never thought/imagined/fantasized myself that im right in the middle of a storm, a big one at that. it happened last week, i experienced the fury...FURY...of Milenyo. i got a good view on whats happening. i got to see 2 cars got crushed by the Bonifacio Stopover signboard (too bad)...i saw a lot of steel sheets flying around, hitting the glass windows on other condo units...tenants frantically trying to seal the windows...or whatever they were trying to do...

i read from a book that if the eye of the storm passes your area, be careful because the wind will change direction...i saw that for the first time...and wow...a lot of things got uprooted...billboards, roofs, trees...even a truck rolled over...

...and the power went out...*applause*

oh by the way, we went out that same night, looking for a place to eat...we practically toured the whole of metro manila...no lights...until we spotted Shangrila resto...somewhere in QC i think. whew!

Outsourcing

2006-08-05T20:08:00.000+08:00

Outsourcing has become a trend for companies today. Western companies are relocating their back office operations to Asia particularly in India and Philippines. Possible reasons would be to minimize operating costs and so that they can concentrate more on their core business.

However, companies must not just immediately to the outsourcing bandwagon. Careful study must be done in order to know which of the departments or operations can be outsourced to suppliers. This is easier said than done. A lot of outsourced operations or projects have failed since there was no thorough study on its implications.

Granted that outsourcing has many advantages, it can also be a big failure if not done properly. Stakeholders or managers must know what are the “strategic” and “tactical” goals and their differences when it comes to their business.

Strategic means, what are the long term benefits of outsourcing for a particular operation and how it will affect the business in the long term. If it will benefit the company in achieving goals or milestones, then, I say go for outsourcing.

However, there are times that outsourcing can only be beneficial in the short term. This is a tactical response. For example, there is a need for a particular system that is needed to be done quickly but there is not enough manpower. Let us just say that it is an emerging business requirement that must be address now but not necessarily for the long term.

As I see it, outsourcing can either be a big help, or just one big expensive project with no real or tangible output. Before a company decides to jump right in, they must decide what to outsource, how long, and it must go hand in hand with the company’s business goals.
