EACOMM Corporation was part of the Animation Council of the Philippines‘ delegation to the Third China International Animation Copyright Fair held in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China from September 27 – October 5, 2011. The third of its kind in the city, the fair will have 1,300 booths with more than 200 exhibitors from the local and overseas animation industry showcasing their work on more than 70,000 sq m of space. Major companies participating include US-based media company Disney and Japanese player Bandai, as well as Guangzhou-based Creative Power Entertaining Co, the company behind the popular Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf Chinese TV animation series. Deals worth more than 8.9 billion yuan ($1.39 billion) were inked at the previous fair last year, organizers said. “The fair offers a great platform for the animation industry and many opportunities for businesses to network. The forums during the event will also see many experts in the field giving their take on the future of the industry. One of the major issues we will be looking at is the need to push the Chinese brand forward, new growth models and the challenges of new media,” said Yan Xiaokang, Dongguan vice-mayor, and deputy head of the fair’s organizing committee, during a press conference before the start of the event. Dongguan is home to more than 1,000 animation-related enterprises. FULL TEXT HERE

Android Software Development

EACOMM has seen tremendous progress in developing business and educational apps for the Android operating system in the short span of time that we’ve dedicated resources in developing this skill set. EACOMM has managed to leverage its over ten years of experience in web, software and multimedia development as well as its seven years of experience in developing Content Management Systems in developing interactive android applications that can be managed and edited on-line. Here are just some of the projects we’ve been doing in the past few months: Tablet Content Management Systems – We are aggressively redesigning our DO-CMS business website management system to cater to Android Tablets and smart phones. Applications of this CMS includes Android-based e-books and magazines, e-learning tools, market research tools and business management applications. Two-way communications allow for the android tablet to be used for remote data gathering while processing and report generation are done in the cloud. Location Awareness – The majority of Android tablets and smart phones are equipped with Global Positions Systems or GPS. This provides EACOMM with the opportunity to develop a variety of location-aware applications that can be used in the fields of fleet/vehicle tracking and management, inventory/shipment tracking, market and political research and surveys, tourism and more. Interactive Multimedia – EACOMM is the premier provider of DVD/CD PC-based interactive multimedia applications in the Philippines. It would be a shame if we do not leverage our market leadership into this new and exciting platform of tablet computing. As such, we are excited to offer interactive multimedia e-books, learning tools, games, and corporate presentations for the Android platform. For more information regarding our Android programming efforts or if you are interested to have us develop an Android app for your organization please email us at: solutions@eacomm.com. We are also on the look out for Java developers interested to focus on Android software development. Please send your resumes to admin@eacomm.com so that we can invite you for an interview.

SQL Optimization

SQL or Structured Query Language has been the standard protocol of most Relational Database Systems of the past decades. It runs the backbone of practically the whole Internet as all the major database systems (Oracle, MSSQL, MySQL, etc…) utilizes it. As such it is a critical language to know for web programmers. A very basic knowledge of SQL can help even the most novice programmer to start developing simple web or software applications such as Blogs, Web Stores, Dynamic Websites and others. With the large computing power available to us even in the simplest web hosting servers, it is oftentimes neglected that our Database design and queries are optimized for the fastest possible performance. However, when we are dealing with tens of thousands of website visitors or hundreds of thousands of database entries, SQL optimization is a must. The following presentation discusses simple SQL optimization techniques that can greatly improve your software or web application’s performance. SQL Optimization

Growth spurt in mobile Internet

Over 35% of Filipino Internet users adopt mobile Internet A growth spurt in mobile Internet use in South East Asia (SEA) resulted in an over 35% of Filipino Internet users to adopt mobile Internet- placing Philippines third in SEA for mobile use. Compared to March 2011, mobile Internet use among Filipinos increased by over 48% in April 2011. Effective Measure Regional Director (SEA) Russell Conrad credits this growth to the increasing popularity of Smartphones, “Along with the boom of Smartphones throughout the region, a growing number of consumers, including over half a million Filipino Internet users, are adopting mobile Internet to access infotainment, conduct business and engage in e-commerce while on the go. Comparison of the increase in mobile Internet use in SEA from March to April 2011: The following details the browsing patterns of Filipino mobile Internet users in April 2011: Mobile Internet users stayed on a webpage at an average of 51 seconds, 22 seconds more than PC users Each session on mobile Internet lasted for at an average of 5.42 minutes, 34 seconds more than a PC session Mobile internet users viewed an average of 7 pages per session, 4 pages less than PC users “The progress of the Philippines market is deeply encouraging. The increased activity seen on mobile Internet provides an opportunity for businesses to target the Philippines market and establish mobile-friendly interfaces to strengthen an online presence,” said Conrad.

Social Network Integration

Wikipedia defines social networking service as “…an online service, platform, or site that focuses on building and reflecting of social networks or social relations among people, e.g., who share interests and/or activities”. Some popular social networking service sites are facebook and twitter. The world has gone social. The primary evidence is when you log in to your facebook account and see how many of your friends are online. More and more people are getting online every day and make it as part of their daily life.  They engage with each other, playing games, sharing activities, interests, and/or passions with their network of friends. They discover meaningful contents for them and join conversations. The activity and authenticity of the social network is made up of real people – and these people could be your customers. That is one reason why it is beneficial for businesses to integrate social networks, such as facebook and twitter, to their websites. Once a user like, recommend or tweet your website, it will be shared to their network of friends and this personal recommendation is a powerful kind of endorsement. Your website will have more opportunity to be visited that offers your products and/or services to be known to customers. Ever wonder how many people can find your facebook page or tweets? According to Wikipedia, facebook now has over 600 million active users all over the world while twitter has 200 million (as of January 2011). It’s now time for your business to join these social networking sites to keep in touch of your customers and get the edge by integrating it to your website. There are many ways of integrating these social networking sites to your website or web applications. Social networking sites provide Widgets, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and SDKs (Software Development Kits) or devkits which Software Developers can use to create custom applications or integration supported by their platform. For example, Facebook has the “Graph API” that enables us to read and write data to Facebook. We can now retrieve data like photos, events, likes, update statuses and other data objects. They also provide SDKs for certain programming languages like Facebook PHP SDK that provide Facebook Platform support for PHP-based web applications. Other Facebook SDK include Android SDK, .NET SDK, etc. Article and Presentation by John Michael Dalisay, Junior Software Developer for EACOMM Corporation. Social Network Integration

Blast from the Past…Part 1: EACOMM Presentations

To start, below are some power-point presentations we’ve presented over the years in PDF format: Building a Web-Based Marketing Channel – This presentation was shown in 2005 to groups of Filipino Export Companies in the hopes of convincing them to market their products online. It discusses basic on-line marketing, developing an effective website, and an introduction to e-commerce. EACOMM-introduction to 3d game programming – This presentation was conducted for a organization of Ateneo Computer Science Majors in 2003. It provides a brief introduction on 3D game programming and the available technologies for development during that time. Real-time-data-transmission-over-FM-sub-carrier-frequencies – This paper was a presentation on EACOMM Corporation’s R&D efforts in developing a data transmission system using unused bandwidth in FM Radio stations way back in 2002. This is one of our favorite research endeavors even after nine years given the novelty of the concept. Wireless Data Transmission over GSM Short Message Service (GSM-SMS) – This R&D project aimed to provide a means of data transmission over GSM-SMS (A relatively new concept in 2003 when this system was proposed). Innovative Applications of Asterisk Open Source PBX – This was presented in Asterconference Roadshow Manila last February 2, 2007. It discusses the potential applications of the Asterisk Opensource VoIP PBX Platform. Introduction to CSS2 – This is a presentation EACOMM uses to brief its new web designers and developers on CSS2.0 when it was still not being thought in schools.

Business Process Outsourcing in the Philippines

Whenever we promote or market our BPO IT services to foreign companies, it’s not only the company that we are selling but our country as well. It would be an understatement to say this has been difficult in the past with all the negative publicity that the Philippines gets from the world media. However recent news have given us more positive reasons than ever before to showcase that the Philippines is truly the ideal outsourcing destination: PH overtakes India in BPO industry—IBM report The Philippines is now the world’s leader in business support functions such as shares services and business process outsourcing after effectively overtaking India in these categories last year, according to IBM’s Latest Global Locations Trend Annual Report released recently in New York…read more Creative content industry to become Phl’s top dollar-earner The business process outsourcing ( BPO), especially the “creative content industry,” will soon surpass the remittances sent home by overseas Filipino worker as the Philippines’ highest dollar-earner in the next five years, the Philippine Commission on Information Technology and Communications (CICT) said today…read more BPO sector seen posting $25B revenue in ’15 PH seen keeping 10% share in global business The country’s business process outsourcing (BPO) industry is expected to post about $25 billion in annual revenue by 2015 as the Philippines maintains its position as one of the world’s top outsourcing destinations.

Upcoming Projects from EACOMM Corporation

It has been a few months since this blog has been updated and this is  mainly because we have had to hunker down and complete a few major projects these past few weeks. However, with our tenth anniversary coming on August 2011, we are hoping to launch a number of new products and services to coincide with the momentous event. Below are a few of the projects we have that are already in the pipeline: Updated PhilippineCompanies.com – With now over 15,000 visitors daily and a few thousand dollars in monthly advertising revenue, we can no longer treat this website as a ‘hobby’. Work is underway to streamline the system and make it more robust and user-friendly. First to be launched will be the more powerful company profile engine before the end of this year. New EACOMM Corporation Website – As per our tradition of changing our website every 2-3 years, expect a new look www.eacomm.com by first quarter 2011. DO-CMS Version 4.0 – We are hoping to find the time next year to do a full revamp of DO-CMS and bring it closer to the bleeding edge of Web Technologies. Expect further announcements early next year. Business Apps – We’ve been mentioning our business apps projects all throughout this year and albeit we won’t be able to launch any by the end of the year, we are fully confident that a few applications will be ready before our Anniversary. This would include: Web-based Payroll and HR Management Software – This application will be made available both on a subscription model (SaaS) or deployed in the company’s own servers. The project is in early stages of Alpha Development and we hope to have it ready before mid-2011. Web-based Accounting System – Currently under heavy development using Microsoft’s .NET Framework and targeted for completion by end of 2010. Expect a translation to our favorite LAMP platform before the end of 2011. Web-based Vehicle Repair and Preventive Maintenance System – Ideal for car dealers or companies with a large car fleet. This application monitors repair and maintenance records for automobiles. Beta prototype will be available for evaluation before the end of 2010. Other Web Portals – As some of you may know, EACOMM also maintains other web portals such as www.artesdelasfilipinas.com, www.imagesphilippines.com, and www.philippinepropertyfinder.com. Expect this to be joined by at least two more websites before the end of 2010 and perhaps up to half a dozen more by next year! Tablet Applications – We are confident that  Tablets will be a mainstay of computing in the next few years and as such we will be investing heavily in developing applications for this new platform. EACOMM has almost a decade of experience in PC Touchscreen Kiosks and Web Application Development and as such we feel we are in an excellent position to leverage this experience to cater to the  touch-screen tablets and even smartphone market. For more information about any of the projects mentioned above, please feel free to e-mail info@eacomm.com or call us via +63 2 438 2986.

Facebook Likes/Shares Checker for a Webpage

Facebook integration is by now ‘a must’ for websites. By providing tools to share or like your site to Facebook, it gives your site a lot more opportunity to get read and seen by the 500 million ++ users of Facebook. Facebook has developed several simple to use API’s for this which can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web. Statistics can be monitored in http://www.facebook.com/insights, however the data presented is far from complete. For example, something as simple as monitoring how many people has “shared” or “liked” your website is not easily determined. Fortunately there’s a handy link for checking the number of Facebook “likes” or “shares” of a given Web Page URL also provided by Facebook but not as known: http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&urls=http://www.eacomm.com The above query will return an XML document in the following format: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <links_getStats_response xmlns=”http://api.facebook.com/1.0/” xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance” xsi:schemaLocation=”http://api.facebook.com/1.0/ http://api.facebook.com/1.0/facebook.xsd” list=”true”> <link_stat> <url>http://www.eacomm.com</url> <share_count>3</share_count> <like_count>3</like_count> <comment_count>13</comment_count> <total_count>19</total_count> <click_count>0</click_count> <normalized_url>http://www.eacomm.com/</normalized_url> </link_stat> </links_getStats_response> This can then be parsed by a simple application to store the statistics in a database. For example in PHP you can use the simlexml_load_file to parse this. Below is a very simple code (admittedly not very elegant, but it works) to do this: $url = “http://www.eacomm.com”; $xml = simplexml_load_file(“http://api.facebook.com/restserver.php?method=links.getStats&urls=$url”); $child=$xml->children(); $child2=$child->children(); $shares=$child2->share_count; $likes=$child2->like_count; $comments=$child2->comment_count; $total=$child2->total_count; $clicks=$child2->click_count; You can now store the shares, likes, etc. in a database and monitor for yourself how your website is performing in Facebook. Below is a form to check if your site has been ‘shared’ in Facebook: http://www.eacomm.com/fblikecheck.php Facebook Likes/Shares Checker: Enter the Web Page you want to check:

Artes de la Filipinas: Private Collections available from BuyOnline.ph

EACOMM Corporation’s Artes de las Filipinas: Private Collections by Ms. Christiane de la Paz is now available for purchase online at http://www.buyonline.ph. This provides online purchasers more options for payment such as Bancnet/Megalink cards, Globe GCash or Credit Card. The book is also available through Artes de las Filipinas’ Online store (payment by Paypal only), in Amazon.com, as well as select Powerbooks and Fully Booked branches in Metro Manila.

New look and features for PhilippineCompanies.com

At over 10,000 visitors/day PhilippineCompanies.com is now one of the top 1000 websites in the Philippines. This coincides as well with the site surpassing 50,000 companies listed in its database.  In our continuing effort to improve the website, the following changes have recently gone live: PhilippineCompanies.com has moved to our Cloud-based Virtual Private Servers which would allow us to scale more easily as the site continues to grow. The upgrade should significantly increase the website loading time as well. The site has been redesigned to what we think is a cleaner and sleeker look. A new section that has gone live but still under constant improvement and development is the Stock Market section of the site. This area provides links to stock information and news for Publicly Traded Philippine Companies. Visitors can now download the PhilippineCompanies Toolbar to have faster access to the PhilippineCompanies search engine. Expect several other new features in the next few weeks!
