The vision of Digital Bohol to have internet connectivity across the province is now closer to reality. This week, Gov. Edgar Chatto received PLDT Visayas Head Rito Ray Salas and PLDT Area Head Isabelo Rosales at the People’s Mansoion. They updated the governor about ongoing PLDT Fiber To The Home, the most optimum connectivity solution. Rosales said PLDT targets a minimum of 1 kilometer of fiber optic connection completed every day. This will allow fiber connectivity for the towns of Clarin, Tubigon, Calape, Loon, Maribojoc, Antequera, Balilihan, Sikatuna, Cortes, Jagna, Garcia Hernandez, Valencia, Dimiao, Lila, Loboc, Loay, and Albur at the end of this year. PLDT also targets connectivity for the remaining towns of Bohol by 2019. Fiber To The Home is the optimum connectivity solution, stated Rosales. Fiber to the home (FTTH), also called “fiber to the premises” (FTTP), is the installation and use of optical fiber from a central point directly to individual buildings such as residences, apartment buildings and businesses to provide unprecedented high-speed Internet access. The governor welcomed this development as Bohol positions itself in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry. He recalled launching Digital Bohol when PLDT also launched its submarine and inland fiber optic network spanning 328 kilometers – from Cebu through Bohol to Misamis Oriental with PLDT president and CEO Napoleon Nazareno. Digital Bohol is aimed at making every Boholano part of digital technology revolution, and to make technology available. Next to tourism and agriculture, programs have been geared towards creating a niche for the ICT industry. A private sector-led initiative, Digital Bohol key component is the establishment of Technology for Education... read more

Auza.Net starts to offer its Digital Archiving Service in January 2017 to organizations with large volume of documents that need to be referenced quickly. After scanning paper documents and storing the scanned images in a digital archive, the company will then transcribe metadata of the documents and create an index. The digital archive is then searched using a web browser and the relevant documents may be viewed on the browser or downloaded. The company already has been providing the service in previous years but only formally offered the service this month. Currently the company is creating a digital archive for a local government agency. The documents date as far back as the 90’s and most of these documents exist without known copies. The agency intends to use the archive as a backup as well as an online reference. Currently the agency staff physically go through the documents in storage if they are looking for a reference. When the digital archive is brought online, they can perform the search on the transcribed metadata and will be able to quickly find the documents they need. In addition to their own use, the digital archive will also be accessible to the public. This will help lessen the queue of requests to search for the documents at their office. In addition to creating the digital archive, Auza.Net also offers hosting of the digital archive for customers who do not want to invest on their own servers.
