This company was the only one who accommodated us to conduct an interview for this assignment. Basit and I had the same company. We both experienced turning down by the other companies we previously visited. But we strived and did the highest level of our best to have a company to conduct our study. Fortunately, it was all paid of because EMCOR allowed us to ask questions about there IS/IT to their company. We first visited their branch at San Pedro, but Sir Raymond, officer in charge, preferred us to go to their head office at JVR Bldg., J.P. Laurel Ave., Bajada,, Davao City.
But before we conducted an interview with Sir Alex and the MIS manager, we made some research about their company’s history like who founded EMCOR, what are services they rendered to the people and a little bit information to their company for us to be able to visualize what would the probable systems do they have. Here are my researches:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emcor was founded by JESUS V. DEL ROSARIO in 1958 originally under the name of Engineering and Machinery Corporation (EMCOR) as the franchise dealer of International Harvester (IH) in Mindanao with its base in Davao City. In 1976, it shifted its product lines to Kawasaki motorcycles and National-Panasonic appliances. Despite the shift in product lines, the company retained the acronym EMCOR to take advantage of the popularity and goodwill the name had generated over the years.
Today EMCOR is a 100% Filipino company whose primary business activity is the retailing of household appliances and motorcycles through the operation of retail stores in the islands of the Visayas and Mindanao, Philippines. The household appliance product lines consists of popular brands like National/Panasonic, JVC, Philips, Sony, Goldstar, Sharp and Samsung. The motorcycle product group comprises the leading brand in the market like Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki.

Actually, we were not able to have a chance to ask more about their system because they had a meeting regards to their present system they have right now. But still Sir Alex gave us a little of his time even if it was a lunch time. He imparted to us they have system in company, such as payroll system, accounting system, etc. Different languages they are using in their system, like Microsoft Visual Fox Pro, MS-SQL and many more. In maintaining their system and for trouble shooting, the have Internal Programmers which was an ordinary employee who had interest in programming and they let them studied in Manila to learn more in programming languages.
As of now, the company is planning to translate their present programming language to a new one by the help of SAP. (It was my first time to hear about SAP, and I found out it is the largest European software enterprise and the fourth largest in the world. Wow!) They want to interlink the entire systems EMCOR nation wide. At this moment, EMCOR is planning to upgrade their system so as to be more convenient and easy transact to their customer.
Now, that they are planning to have an upgraded system, they should need an Information System Plan or apply some best practices in IS/IT. He mentioned the things they will going to do when they will have their new Information System. First, they will going to discuss who will manage the new information system and what are the things they must do to manage the system properly. Second, they will also study their data for them to know what data from the old system will be transferred to new one .Lastly, their Internal Programmers or IT staff will be trained on how to troubleshoot the new system if problems will occur to their system. And because it is a new system staff who will use their system should study well the function of the new system.
