Mapúa Institute of Technology emerged as the winner of the 2009 Ateneo Business IT Solutions Competition (ABITSC) held last December 5, 2009 at the UP-Ayala Land Technohub hosted by the Ateneo Management Information Systems Association (MISA).

The Mapúa team won after presenting the best business IT solutions to a corporate problem.  They advanced to the finals together with participants from UP-Diliman, Ateneo, and De La Salle after winning in the elimination and semi-final rounds held last November 28, 2009.  The team was composed of senior students from the School of Information Technology (Makati Campus): Andrew S. Eliquen, Ronald Jedrek S. Cantuba and Jeth C. Maganito.

This success is another proof of the efficacy of the Mapúa BSIT curriculum in providing its students the skills in designing IT solutions for business processes.  It is also one of the fruits of the collaborative efforts of Mapúa with industry partners such as HP Philippines which is responsible for the delivery of “Introduction to IT Service Management Course” as an elective class in the School of IT.

True to its mission, Mapúa shall continue to deliver education that is current in content and relevant to the needs of the society.
