Our first office day

Today was our first normal office day.

When we arrived at the office we had a short meeting with Pak Dudi and some of his staff. There we also met our contact person. Pak Purnomo for the first time. As welcome gift we received an agenda & notebook from DISKOMINFO in a batik printed bag.

We had a short introduction about the organization DISKOMINFO and the department we are going to work for. The total office count 98 people and another 15 at a branch office.
DISKOMINFO is responsible for the management of the infrastructure of the internet in West Java province and several applications. West Java counts 26 municipalities and 50 million inhabitants. Besides the technical division where we are going to work for there is the electronic division, mainly maintain website contents, a marketing & communication department and several support staff like finance & human resources.

One of the applications they support is an e-auction system which all governmental departments have to use when they want to buy something.

After the kickoff meeting we got a short tour through the building. For each room you see shoes in the hallway as you have to take your shoes off in the offices.

After the tour we went to what will be our office for the coming weeks: The video room! Fully equiped, but hardly used.

For lunch we went to "Loempia Semarang" a local restaurant, as they are used to go out for lunch lacking facilities to lunch at the office.

After lunch we had a more in depth meeting with Pak Purno and got a better view of what the organization is look like and the current situation of some processes and systems. We need to talk to some more people to be get a better picture of what would help them.

At 4PM the workday at the government office stops so we where brought back to our hotel. We are were tired,but satisfied as we received a lot of information.

A good first start......
