Software AG has announced a strategic partnership with
Universitas Gajah Mada (UGM), Indonesia's leading public
University, to drive digitalization in the Indonesian Government
Sector and prime UGM graduates entering the job market. The
partnership will begin with two initial steps:
The first is an Educational Webinar on August 14, open to all
government officials.
Software AG and UGM will host a Webinar on Digital Transformation
in the Indonesian Government Sector.
UGM will present their most recent findings, including challenges
to the digitalization efforts of government bodies in Indonesia,
and recommend strategies for a fast start to becoming a truly
digitalized government.
Software AG will showcase highly relevant use cases from various
government bodies in the US, UK, Germany, Singapore and
Australia.
The second step is an Academic Partnership.
Software AG will provide a market-oriented education through UGM,
giving graduates entering the job market an excellent head start,
forming an integral and critical part of the digital transformation
of the nation.
Prof Ir Panut Mulyono, Rector of UGM, said, "A close collaboration
between the private sector and academia is essential. This is in
line with our Minister of Education and Culture Nadiem Makarim's
Independent Campus Policy, where universities are encouraged to
develop partnerships with world class companies. With the upcoming
Webinar, we provide thought leadership, views and ideas for the
government sector to digitally transform in a safe and sustainable
way; and with the Academic Partnership we are upskilling our
students to support this transformation with a highly qualified
workforce in the future."
Anneliese Schulz, President of Software AG Asia Pacific Japan,
said, "What excites me the most is the opportunity to support
upskilling student talent into world class tech professionals, who
will contribute to the development of the nation. And when we look
into government digitalization efforts in Indonesia and elsewhere,
integration is a key enabler to modernize and innovate. As the
world leading integration technology provider, we can share proven
use cases from various sectors as well as the key learning from
government bodies worldwide which will benefit Indonesia
greatly."
The Ministry of Administrative Reform measured the e-government
maturity level over 616 government institutions in 2018, and
concluded that a majority of government institutions have been
implementing e-services, particularly for internal work. However,
these e-services share common problems: lack of integration,
unsustainability, and low use, pointing to an absence of integrated
and holistic policy, and partial planning and strategies in
implementing e-government. Before 2018, there was no guidance and
standard to develop e-services. As a result, "many government
institutions in Indonesia have only developed partial e-services,
even in the sake of innovation." (GovAsia
