In our first assignment in Management Information System (MIS) we were asked to choose a local organization or company to study on their best practice in Information System and Information technology practices.

In choosing an organization or company you should consider many things. On our meeting in Management Information System (MIS) we already taught by our facilitator what Information System. Information system is refers to us the combination of software, hardware and peopleware. This term has marked in our mind. So in choosing and organization we should consider that these three terms has in their company. There are lots of companies here in Davao but the local organization/company I choose and together with their best practices in Information Technology/Information System is EMCOR Davao.

What is EMCOR?

Best Practice in Information System

The term Information System (IS) from the word itself it is refers to a system of people, data records and activities that process the data and information in an organization or company, and it includes the company's manual and automated processes. There company used a or computer-based information system which means that the transaction and data records of the company is stored in a specific application software in a computer system and being used when automates some of the information-processing activities of the company .

Information System helps a lot in EMCOR because in terms of data records like the customer file they can easily access the background of that consumer if he/she is a good payer or not. It also helps their database to be properly organized and managed.

Best Practice in Information Technology

When we talk about Information Technology it deals with the use of computers and telecommunications to retrieve and store and transmit information. At the start of any businesses and other organizations, internal reporting was made manually and only periodically, as a by-product of the accounting system and with some additional statistics, and gave limited and delayed information on management performance.


Long time ago, business computers were used for the practical business of computing the payroll and keeping track of accounts payable and accounts receivable. As years goes by applications were developed that provided managers with information about sales, inventories, and other data that would help in managing the enterprise, the term "MIS" arose to describe these kinds of applications. Company uses these as decision support systems, resource and people management applications, project management and database retrieval application. IT professionals perform a variety of duties that range from installing applications to designing complex computer networks and information database. A few of the duties that IT professionals perform may include data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, database and software design, as well as the management and administration of entire systems.This true for EMCOR because it helps their company to grow not only their sales but also their branches. It also helps their company in terms of general ledger to financial report because it is well structured and properly documented. Now, EMCOR is the MINDANAO'S biggest retail company of appliances, electronic products and motorcycles.

Therefore, EMCOR’s best practice in Information Technology and Information System has contributed a lot in their company. It makes their works fast, more accurate, cost and offsite.
