5. Olongapo City Computer Application System Project, a report which is documented and reported by Mr. Andy Yuzon, Geodata Project Manager. This is regarding LegMIS Documentation and Report as of April 16, 2009 it says that, “the LegMIS implementation was continued by Geodata last Thursday, April 16, 2009 with LegMIS Programmer Ms. Janelle Panique-Ong and Geodata Project Manager Mr. Andy Yuzon coordinating with the SP Secretariat to install the latest Olongapo City LegMIS database in their computer workstations. Findings: the new computer workstations, server, scanners and printers for LegMIS that were bided and supposed to be purchased were not still available, delivered and ready. The City has to provide for said hardware ASAP; the 5 old computer workstations of the SP Secretariat office were all being used for other purposes outside LegMIS. Their specifications were also not fit for LegMIS. One of the computers had viruses that hampered the supposed-to-be temporary implementation of LegMIS at the SP Secretariat office even without the new hardware. Recommendations: 1. provide ASAP the needed hardware; 2. set another time for Geodata Programmer to come and implement LegMIS; 3. provide anti-virus and restrict USB port access to new hardware exclusively to be used for LegMIS. (No games, and other files outside LegMIS matters – to be coordinated with the City MIS Staff). (For information and referred to Councilors Rodel S. Cerezo and Edwin J. Piano)
