Assignment 1: Product Description

According to TomTom telematics, a fleet management software solution that connects car services to increase overall fleet productivity. The main function of TomTom is to optimize vehicle operations with real-time vehicle tracking capabilities to provide a more accurate location of its current position and the upcoming roads ahead. It also consists of a online system to review the driver’s productivity within a day to help reduce the manpower needed for future operations to better manage the fleet. TomTom also helps the driver to keep an eye on the road with an installed device that manages driving behavior and receives active driving feedback on speeding and harsh braking. With the increasing amount of carbon footprints, TomTom provides real-time fuel consumption information that will be taken into feedback to help lower carbon dioxide emission. TomTom remains as one of the leading dedicated telematics solution with a cloud based system (Webfleet) that provides detailed driving behavior for drivers to analyze their own performance and for companies to compare it over time to dramatically improve efficiency and lower operational cost.

Self Introduction

Dear Professor Brad,

My name is Ng Jun Hui, and I am writing this letter to introduce myself as one of your students in your effective communication classes. I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with a Diploma in Telematics and Media Technology. Currently, pursuing my degree in Telematics (Intelligent Transportation System Engineering) in Singapore Institute of Technology.

Prior to my diploma, I was fortunate to obtain an internship at NCS Pte Ltd where I was exposed to different aspects of wireless technology. This exposure sparked my interest in telecommunications which led me to pursuing this degree programme. I believe that my work experience has helped me a lot in being an active listener and developing an open mind to understand the different perspective of others. Being exposed to the workforce has also placed me out of my comfort zone to meet new people, building on my interpersonal skills which helped to boost my confidence in public speaking.

On the other hand, what I feel that I can improve on will be my tone of speech as I have a habit of speaking in a casual tone which may not be suitable to every situation. This inability to adapt might pose as an issue to formal occasions such as presentations and interviews. Secondly, I have a tendency of speaking too quickly making it difficult for the audience to understand me.

Through this module, I hope to build a firmer foundation of English and developing relevant communication skills towards different audience. Under your guidance, I hope that the upcoming weeks with you will be an interesting and productive journey.

Warmest Regards,

Ng Jun Hui
