On the 20 July 2011, the School of Informatics & IT held an event for IBM Pulse of Asia Summit 2011. In this event, our own SIG students, along with lecturers, attended to 70 Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and VIP guests. Many of these guests are from abroad (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and India).
These guests were brought around the IIT school to tour the following centres of excellence:
- TP-IBM IT Service Management Centre
- TP-IBM Centre for IT Security
- TP-Thomson Reuters Financial Risk Management Centre
- TP Green Data Centre
Of course, the guests have to have their lunch and tea before touring around the IIT school.
After the refreshments, the guests was was shown a presentation on the Student Internship Programme (SIP) and Overseas Student Internship Programme (OSIP).
The delegates were introduced to the TP-IBM IT Service Management Centre, first setup in Asia where the Service Desk and first level IT support were managed entirely by students, providing IT services to real life customers that included staff and students in the School of IIT.

Overall, it was a successful event-filled day, thanks to the amazing lecturers and the helpful seniors who are having their SIP in the TP-IBM IT Service Management Centre.
And of course, thanks to the smart, wonderful SIG members who helped out on that day. As you can see, I was the only girl helping yet I rocked the event out. Actually, all ten of us had fun working together and will be looking forward to more events such as this.
On the last note, it's never too late to join us in SIG. We'll have lots of fun making new friends and working together!
