IT DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIA
Information Technology is a technology used to process data,
including processing, obtain, compile, store, manipulate data in
different ways to generate quality information, information that is
relevant, accurate and timely, which is used for personal purposes,
education, business , and administration and is a strategic information
for decision making.
Roles that can be provided by the application of
information technology and communications technology is to get
information for your personal life such as information about health,
hobbies, recreation, and spiritual. Development of information and
communications technology spurred a new way of life, from beginning to
end of life, this life is known as e-life, meaning life has been
influenced by a variety of needs electronically. And now it is
overflowing with a variety of letters that begin with the prefix e-like
e-commerce, e-government, e-education, e-library, e-journal, e-medicine,
e-laboratory, e-biodiversitiy, and others again based electronics.
Rector of Bandung Institute of Technology Akhmaloka said Indonesia
should not be passive consumers who just follow the development of
information technology (IT). In his speech at the seminar “Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) for Indonesia 2012″ in the West Hall,
ITB on Wednesday, said Indonesia also Akhmaloka must participate in
determining the direction of IT development is rapidly increasing. “Do
not just every month change-change ‘mobile’, but must participate to
direct the development of the technology,” he said.
If Indonesia is only a passive consumer, he added, it will oscillate
in the development of increasingly advanced IT and finally could not
take advantage of these technological developments. “Do not just take
the technology that just confused,” he said.
Meanwhile, Minister of Communications and Information Tifatul
Sembiring in his speech expressed his hope that the inauguration of the
seminar universities such as ITB and other universities also can develop
into a research institute that produces high-tech products.
And what role student / student of IT development in Indonesia?
IT developments in Indonesia is increasingly advanced and
sophisticated, but in the process of development, there are many
challenges faced by IT people. With that information technology can
significantly improve performance and enable a variety of activities can
be performed quickly, precisely and accurately, thus increasing
productivity. Information Technology or other businesses that supported
the implementation of Information Technology for the present and the
future still get special attention from the government, because
bersifatnya strategic for the development of the nation of Indonesia.
Two important aspects of business development related to the Information
Technology infrastructure and Human Resources (HR). In addition to
these two aspects are, in fact there are many other aspects such as
education, finance and so on. However, poor infrastructure and scarcity
of human resources professionals in this field is the cause of slow
development and Information Technology business in Indonesia.
Various challenges faced in facilitating and further enhance the existing IT. Some of the challenges to be faced, namely;
Produce a range of information technology products, especially software, as a product of domestic industry Indonesia
Leveraging IT to solve problems Indonesia is the country’s strategic
Indonesia information technology development is strongly influenced
by human resource capacity in the understanding of information
technology components, such as hardware and computer software; network
systems and telecommunications systems that will be used to transfer
data. The need for information technology-based energy is still
increasing; this can be seen with many types of jobs that require skills
in information technology in various fields; also enabled the number of
HR professionals with both in the field of information technology is
still small, when compared with the population of Indonesia . improving
the quality of human resource professional, a good infrastructure in
place is a necessary condition for achieving the level of success and
success in the future.
Information technology plays a role in many areas including:
Education (e-education).
Globalization has sparked a trend shift in education from a
conventional face to face education toward a more open education (M.
Mukhopadhyay, 1995). As an example we look at the French project
“Flexible Learning ‿. This is reminiscent of Ivan Illich forecast early
70′s on “Education without schools (Deschooling Socieiy)” extreme
teacher who is no longer needed.
Bishop G. (1989) predicted that the future of education will be
flexible (flexible), open and accessible to anyone who needs
irrespective of the type of factors, age, and previous educational
experience.
Can be concluded that with the influence of globalization, the future
of education will be more open and two-way, diverse, multidisciplinary,
and related to the productivity of labor “was also ‿ and competitive.
The trend of education in Indonesia in the future are:
- The development of open education with distance learning mode
(Distance Learning). Ease to conduct open and distance education should
be included as a key strategy.
- Sharing resources among institutions with education / training in a network
- Library and other educational instruments (teachers, laboratory)
changed into the source of information rather than a bookshelf.
- The use of interactive information technology devices, such as
CD-ROM Multimedia in education is gradually replacing TV and Video.
With the development of information technology in education, so when
it is already possible to place a distance learning using the internet
media to connect between students and teachers, see the online students,
financial checks, view class schedules, send the tasks assigned faculty
and so on, all it has to do.
In the Government Sector (e-government).
E-government refers to the use of information technology by
government, such as using the intranet and the internet, which has the
ability to connect the needs of the population, business and other
activities. Could be a business transaction process between the public
and government through automation and networking systems, more commonly
known as the world wide web. At its core e-government is the use of
information technology can improve the relationship between government
and other parties. use of information technology is then produced new
forms of relationships such as: G2C (Governmet to Citizen), G2B
(Government to Business) and G2G (Government to Government).
Benefits of e-government that can be felt include:
(1) service better service to the community. Information may be
provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without waiting for the opening
of the office. Information can be sought from the office, home, without
having to physically come to the office of government.
(2) Improved relations between government, business, and the general
public. Openness (transparency), the expected relationship between the
various parties would be better. This openness eliminates the mutual
suspicion and resentment from all sides.
(3) community empowerment through information that is readily
available. Given sufficient information, the public will learn to be
able to make their choice. For example, data about the school: the
number of classes, student capacity, passing grade, and so forth, can be
displayed online and used by parents to choose the right school for
their children.
(4) Implementation of a more efficient government. For example,
coordination of government can be done via e-mail or even video
conferencing. For Indonesia, a vast area is very large, this is very
helpful. Frequently asked questions, coordination, discussion between
local leaders can do without all must be on the same physical location.
No longer any need to fly to Jakarta for a meeting that lasted only one
or two hours.
Finance and Banking
When this has been a lot of economic actors, especially in big cities
that no longer use cash in payment transactions, but have taken
advantage of modern banking services.
Modern banking services that exist only in big cities is
understandable because the current economic growth is still concentrated
in large cities only, which causes the velocity of money is also
concentrated in large cities. So that the banking sector was rather slow
in its expansion into the regions. This is somewhat due to the current
condition of infrastructure in addition to the geographical aspects of
Indonesia’s unique and extensive.
To support the operational success of a financial institution / bank
as a bank, it is definitely needed a reliable information system that
can be easily accessed by customers, which in turn will depend on
information technology online, for example, a customer can withdraw the
money wherever it is located as long as ATM of any bank service, or a
customer can check balances and transfer money to another account in
just minutes, all transactions can be done.
Technology and telecommunications infrastructure development in
Indonesia will greatly assist the development of this industry in the
financial sector, such as expanding the scope of business by opening
branches in the area, as well as exchange of information among insurance
companies, brokerage, banking industry, as well as other financial
institutions.
Banking and financial institutions have been strongly influenced by
product development in information technology, even they can not operate
anymore without information technology. This sector requires the
development of products in information technology to deliver their
services to their customers.
Indonesia information technology development is strongly influenced
by human resource capacity in the understanding of information
technology components, such as hardware and computer software; network
system either LAN or WAN and telecommunications systems that will be
used to transfer data. The need for information technology-based energy
is still increasing; this can be seen with many types of jobs that
require skills in information technology in various fields; also the
number of capable human resources in information technology is still
small, when compared with the population of Indonesia.
