Technology Infusion and Diffusion of the Organization

Interview with Mr. Levie Villose

Department of Agriculture, Staff

Department of Agriculture focuses on documents that are arranged accordingly. The problem of the Department is that they are having slow tracking of documents if made manually that leads them to adapting new technology. The technology nowadays helped them track documents faster and retrieving of documents are made more efficient and reliable. Since Department of Agriculture is not a technology based company, there really are adjustments made by the staffs or users of the technology. Most of the employees are hesitant to the older one. There were used to the traditional transaction but little by little they had accepted the changes that are needed by the company. Technology is one way of solving problems in a company but for them, technology is not enough in solving all problems of the company and it will go a long way to solve company’s problems but technology helps somehow. They were also asked if the technology is not enough in solving their problems then what more do they want to have from the new technology, they said “I want all the transaction we had in the company be transformed into technology has to offer”, they are basically saying that they wanted to make all of their transactions as automated from the most simple transaction to the most difficult ones. They also said that there are “NO” problems in the present technology it is only that the technology is not sufficient in everything.

The structure of the technology they are currently having is that, every employee has their own table capable of handling computer sets, bags and a drawer for some documents. There also are vacant tables for new employees or OJTs that may they may be having in the future. The CCTV cameras are located in every selected areas and security guards in the gates. They also have internet connection. The company is asked what brands of computer do they have, they answered “NOC and HP brands” are used in every offices in their company. The computers that are used by every employee are also password protected so that any non-user who wanted to use the computers will be unable to use it. There are also security cameras in every selected areas of the company for the future purposes if any violation or thief will occur in the office, these security cameras are manipulated by the IT department and only them are knowledgeable on how they manage the security cameras like how often they check the videos or how secured the videos are. They are asked how and when does the technology operates, they answered “It is a system that generates Purchase request depending on the Project procurement Management Plan. For the division to get their request they have do make the PPMP in the 1st quarter of the year by then the system be will automatically updated that during this time they need these supplies according on the PPMP they made prior”. The maintenance are also made from their technical support team from their suppliers which the IT department only knows how they are maintained, they just send staffs to help them sort out things every time there are problems in the system.
