Morph Code kicks off

Today, the Morph Code Software as a Service (SaaS) innovation challenge kicked off. We were joined by key partners -- Ayala Foundation, Philippine Emerging Startups Open Inc. (PESO), and Inquirer.net.

Dickie Gonzales, CEO and President of PESO, talked about developing great ideas, citing that "sweet spot". David Abramowski, CEO of Morph Labs, discussed the rise of the MicroISVs, how to harness the Inet and open source technologies, winning strategies, the iterative process of acquiring customers, and examples of disruptive innovations. He also discussed Software as a Service and showed a demo of the Morph Application Platform.

Our three vertical specialists provided overview and insights, key technology issues, and ideal SaaS solutions in the e-health, e-government, and e-learning industries. Dr. Alvin Marcelo of the National Telehealth Center discussed an on-demand EMR solution. CICT Comm. Tim de Rivera cited ICT infrastructure problems the country is currently facing, and Prof. Hector Manaligod talked about how technology is a tool or an aid in learning.

Here's a link to the SaaS boot camp's website. If you missed today's workshops, just visit the Inquirer.net blogs on Morph Code. Up next: Stand and Deliver Elevator Pitch presentations next Saturday (April 5).
