8th Technical Seminar Year 2015 on Tender Engineering and Project Proposal Awareness / Laptop Software Configuration

IECEP-KSA-CRC conducted its 8th Technical Seminar that was held last August 28, 2015 at Orchid Al Mansour Hotel Riyadh KSA and two seminar topics were discussed.

The first part of the seminar entitled Tender Engineering and Project Proposal awareness is a process required in submission of bidding and contracting services in engineering field.

This was the topic discussed by our Tender and Bid Manager expert Engr. Dexter Panganiban, a Mechanical Engineer by profession. He also emphasized the tendering process consists of initial actions and appraisals, project appreciation and inquiries, resources and preparation of the estimate, tender reviews and tender submission.

In the initial actions and appraisals the discussions includes receiving documents, logging all information to document center, preparation of tendering inquiry form, decision to tender and estimation of time table and cost associated in the tendering.

The project appreciation and inquiries discusses the send out materials and inquiries, the method statements and schedule, the program and temporary works design.

The resource and preparation of the estimate emphasizes on sending out materials, selection of materials and quotations and establishing rates and labour cost.

The tender reviews focuses on the examination of resources cost, examination of methods and programme, the examination of preliminaries, complete net site cost estimate and the addition of overheads and profit.

When an engineer becomes a project manager of the company or involvement in any project, he has to organize and involved in tender process, might be a part or completely the whole process.

IECEP-KSA-CRC successfully conducted the seminar and Engr. Panganiban shares the experiences, knowledge and managerial skills to attendees.

Preceded the first part of the seminar is entitled Laptop Software Configuration.

Laptop Software Configuration is a technical workshop related to recovery, cloning and repairing software installed in computers.

This was the topic discussed by our Software Configuration expert Mr. Manolo Boncales.

Mr. Boncales discussed the different types of Software failures and the way to initially determine the issues.

He also emphasize that many companies encounter problems where their desktop software has been corrupted and the files inside the computer contains critical information that requires to be retrieved.

Mr. Boncales demonstrated various software that can be used in different situations or issues encountered by the SW engineer. One of software demonstrated is Acronis. Acronis develops software for backup, disaster recovery and secure file sharing and data access. Acronis provides comprehensive backup and recovery solutions for both physical and virtual environments, windows and linux servers.

The Software demonstrated in the seminar is the laze soft. It is all-in-one recovery CD to recover data and system safely, easily and instantly. This is very useful for engineers to back up their hard drive and ensure their data are protected properly. As an engineer, it is necessary that the files are well secured and able to retrieve in case disaster happens.
