Under this project, the Company warranties the units for service and parts for three years after acceptance. There are 40 to 50 service partners throughout the country who have signed up. The service partners will provide front line service in the various locations. The service partners were trained in basic troubleshooting and diagnosis last July 2006. There is constant communications between the service partners and the winning bidder. Additional refresher courses are planned for the service partners. The winning bidder has a group of three tech support persons permanently assigned to the DTI-Deped Phase 3 project. They will be able to assist the service partners as needed. The service partners are paid for every service call they do to the DepED-DTI schools. So, signing on with the winning company earns money from them. As far as I know, the winning bidder has not issued any press release, since the bid was awarded. The only news filtering out comes from the sub contractors of the winning bidder and the government agencies involved. This is the reason why some of the facts behind this project is distored. It is only the winning bidder who has the grasp of the entire project (technical, financial, logistics, training, etc). >themselves figuring out how to effectively integrate >the use of the technology to the curriculum! This is the bigger problem, however this is not part of the bid specifications for this contract. In the future, some groups might come in and provide this piece of the puzzle. >Question - what happens if/when the computer breaks >down? See my answer above. >is used, the more important thing here is training. The training component is handled by STI. This is the first DTI-DepEd PC for School project that has a training component. Phase I and II of the project had no training component. >arena. The adopt a school proposal that I have >brought up a few months back elicited a handful of >responses. This is most welcome, if volunteers come forward, we can discuss the mechanics in greater detail. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
