Despite high vulnerability and rapid technological development, the software market is emerging with high potential. Absence of explicit business and technology strategy is affecting the growth and development of software market. Some strategic success factors that are identified as useful are management of technical people, access to multiple sources of technology, development of technological resources, emphasis on customized software, orientation to customers needs and continuous involvement of entrepreneurs. The strategic success factors needed for software market development are developing appropriate marketing channel, building and maintaining credibility, building market differentiation, linking with large customers and speed to market entry. With the aid of modern technology like computers, certain companies can access and update data's and information regarding their competitors strategies. However, these strategies are highly confidential that nobody can access except the companies itself. Updating present information and news in business world can be reach with this thing. This man made thing, so called "computers" can help a lot, particularly managerial decision makings. Problems that may arise in the firm, can somehow be settled. Even though, miles away its subsidiaries, they can immediately communicate from each others and can formulate courses of actions and evaluate it in terms of their availability and effectiveness.

"The strategies of foreign companies with that of Philippine corporation"

As I observed, the strategies of foreign companies are prone and exposed to modern technologies. They seems to be dependent on it. As a result, they can analyzed and evaluate the market. They can apply new strategies with the demand of the situation. Besides, foreigners are mold in early age regarding the business world. Their trainings and programs to their employees are more appropriate and suited to become skillful.

In the contrary, Philippine strategies, are only focusing in a particular market. If not all, most of the businesses are only looking forward for a limited market. But somehow, other ventures are tend to expand their market worldwide. Modern facilities and technologies may used recently according to reality.

A manual procedure in RMMC which i want to be computerize to help those students and employees.

A manual procedure here in RMMC which I prefer to computerize is the way they check the bags or luggages of students and employees. I change it to a x-ray machine.

X-ray machines are used to screen objects non-invasively. Luggage is examined for possible bombs and weapons. These X-ray machine utilizes electromagnetic radiation to produce an image of an object, usually with the purpose of visualizing something located below the object's surface. The machine is made up of an X-ray source or X-ray tube, an x-ray detection system, and positioning hardware to align these two components with the object to be imaged.

A high technology invention help those students and employees in RMMC in examining if there is illegal weapons and bombs which threatened their life. Nowadays, it is not impossible that those people who don't have love to their fellowmen will make a move to kill innocent people.
Through this invention, we can easily detect possible harmful objects for the good of students and employees of RMMC.
