Technological advancements such as medical records which can store all your health records since birth as well a comprehensive vehicle fleet tracking system accessible via the Internet are kinds of technologies that are expected to come from advanced countries such as from the US or Japan.
However, technologies such as those were only some of the examples of the kinds of computer programs developed by Filipinos within the Philippines which were showcased by Microsoft Philippines in its “Who Dunn I.T. 2012? event held last March 21-23.
Philippine’s Potential in the Software Industry of the World “The Filipino community definitely has the inherent potential to become world-class innovators. Local developers and IT (Information Technology) professionals have demonstrated their skills in solving challenges and sharing their best IT practices, which other people may learn from and adapt in their own ways,” Tim Vergel de Dios Microsoft Philippines’ Audience Marketing Manager said.
According to latest Technology Philippines news, the event invited an estimated 50 local startup companies, developers, and IT students, who have developed their own computer programs aimed at creating innovative solutions.
De Dios said that the event “aims to bring together the best local IT talents and skilled developers who are vital in creating programs, software and solutions that aid businesses alike to have cost-effective productivity operations.”
“Developers have always been vital in the IT community and through this event, we are empowering more Filipinos to realize the values and endless opportunities technology can bring to the community,” De Dios said.
As an Inspiration John Bessey, Microsoft Philippines Country Manager, said in an interview that they wanted to showcase all these locally grown technology solutions to inspire other software developers in the country to create innovative solutions.
According to latest Entertainment News Philippines, this event is a part of Microsoft’s national plan of Citizenship that aims to increase businesses’ productivity capacity by giving them access to innovative and locally-developed software that are best adapted to their specific needs.
“We are showcasing [local developers] to recognize them and to inspire others to innovate as well,” de Dios said. This event will “feed more innovations later on by inspiring others,” de Dios added.
With all these, it won’t be a surprise then that the next groundbreaking computer technology could be labeled “Made in the Philippines.”
