Thursday, November 06, 2008 BPO info network available soon
A NETWORK, which will provide all the necessary information about the BPO industry in Davao Region, will soon be available to everyone.
This was bared by Bert Barriga, vice-president of the ICT Davao Inc., saying the network will be dubbed as the Davao Region Geographic Information Network. Its Phase 1 is targeted to be completed when the year ends.
"We're evaluating the people who will be initiating the works for the Phase 1; it will just involve a flat data, a simple website which anyone can log on. The Phase 2 is quite difficult, it will involve geographic references," Barriga said.
He added that they will be requesting some consultants to assist people for the initial works for the Phase 1 of the system.
Barriga also claimed that there are different sources to fund for the completion of the program.
The program was proposed during the Regional Development Council's (RDC) Meeting, which was recently held in Compostela Valley.
Barriga, who has attended the meeting, said the initial funds will be coming from the National Economic Development Authority (Neda) in Southern Mindanao.
The ICT industry is included as one of the private sector representatives to the RDC-Southern Mindanao.
Barriga added that some politicians in the region have also expressed willingness to provide funds for the completion of the program's Phase 2.
He, however, failed to reveal as to how much is needed for the completion of the two phases of the program. (JGRS)
