PTCI to Deploy ERP with Campus Network for PNP

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Perl Tech Consulting International (PTCI) Inc. will be deploying a state-of-the-art wireless “campus network” with Fiber Optic redundancy for the Philippine National Police (PNP) as part of the PNP’s modernization program. The network will provide data and internet connectivity for the PNP headquarters in Camp Crame up to the Quezon City Police District Headquarters in Camp Karingal.

An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is currently under development and will utilize the Campus Network. The ERP system will be used by the PNP to manage Human Resources, Financial and Management Accounting, Materials Management as well as Enterprise Asset Management.

The first stage in the development of the ERP system is the development of the Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) which will integrate fire critical information systems related to Human Resources and Logistics.

“The ERP and Campus Network will significantly help the PNP in its mandate and programs; we are looking forward to extending this network to other PNP sites nationwide,” PTCI President Roy Del Rosario said.  “The HRMIS is expected to accelerate recruitment of new police officers as well as provide convenience for PNP retired personnel, allowing them to process their documents and receive their benefits without going to several offices,” he added.

The PNP Campus Network will primarily be utilizing TV White Space (TVWS) Technologies to provide connectivity to the various nodes of the campus network.

TVWS refers to the unused television frequencies in the VHF and UHF bands.  In 2010, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the use of TVWS for data communications.  The PNP campus network to be installed by PTCI will be the first commercial deployment of TVWS in the Philippines.

Police Chief Superintendent Edwin Jose Nemenzo, the Director of the PNP Information Technology Management Service (ITMS) is looking forward to the network and ERP Solution deployment:

“I believe it was Sun Tzu who said that the line between disorder and order lies in logistics.”

“Operational effectiveness is dependent on logistics or the effective management of resources; we can expect the PNP to be more efficient with the deployment and implementation of the HRMIS.” Director Nemenzo added.

Below are the most important updates rolling out in the coming days:

TOOLS
Increased transparency: Twitter is expanding Your Twitter Data to give people the most transparent access to their Twitter information to date, including demographic and interest data, and advertisers that have included them in their tailored audiences on Twitter. Each category of data will be clearly marked, and they will be able to view or modify this data directly.

New controls: Twitter is also launching new Personalization and Data settings that offer even more granular control over how the company use users’ data, including how the company personalizes people’s experience on Twitter and user option to share information through certain partnerships. People can use these controls to better personalize their experience on Twitter and opt out of various types of data usage and sharing with a single switch.

Personalization across your devices: When people log in, Twitter will associate their device with their account for purposes such as authentication and personalization. The company may also personalize your experience based on information from other devices besides the ones they use to log into Twitter - this can be turned off in the Personalization and Data settings. For example, if people visit websites with sports content on their laptop, they can use this setting to help control whether Twitter show them sports-related ads on Twitter for Android or iOS.
