As we are conducting our regional consultations for the establishment of the Farmers Contact Center, we heard from our partners in the field their various ideas, perspectives, suggestions and comments on opening a new mode of communication with our clients. Some accepted the idea, some though may have doubts if this is really possible, if we can do it, if it would be acceptable to everybody. Though the idea of this initiative is evolving, we are open to whatever will come our way and we will try to fit it if we can to whatever we do.

"When I am hungry, you call a meeting. Yet I am hungry.
You organized a team to solve my problem, still I am hungry.
The team visited my farm. Still I am hungry."

This was shared by ATI RTC VI Center Director Allan Alimodian (which he got from a Sri Lankan friend) when he delivered his message during the closing program of the Regional Consultation Workshop on Knowledgebase for Agriculture and Fisheries held last September 19, 2009 in Iloilo City.

As part of our strategy to enhance the image of the ATI, to prove that we can... the ATIiNteractive has evolved.
Our new frontend shows the different features of our site where it would just be one click away to access the main site of the ATI (the corporate site of our organization), the ATI Intranet (where internal communications happen), the ATI Webmail (our official e-mail), and most especially the e-Extension portal.
This is just the beginning, expect some more to come...
