On this occasion, Puspita N. Sabrina, S.Kom., M.T., stated that UNIKOM was chosen as the benchmarking destination because of its strong reputation and extensive experience in information technology development. As a UNIKOM alumna, she acknowledged that the university has become a leading reference in information technology-based educational management in Indonesia.
According to her, this benchmarking activity serves not only as a platform for sharing experiences but also as an opportunity to establish broader collaboration in the fields of education, research, and community service. She noted that both institutions possess distinct strengths that can complement one another, particularly in the development of academic systems and research collaboration.
“We see many things we can learn from UNIKOM, especially in information technology management. On the other hand, UNJANI also has strong potential in the field of research. Therefore, the collaboration to be established in the future is expected to benefit both institutions and improve the quality of graduates so that they are better prepared to meet workforce demands,” she said.
Meanwhile, Dr. Ednawati Rainarli, M.Si., welcomed the benchmarking activity. She noted that the discussions generated valuable insights, constructive feedback, and opportunities for collaboration that can be pursued through various joint programs.
“This activity provided valuable insights for both institutions. We see opportunities for collaboration in research, community service, participation as peer reviewers, and the development of scientific publications. Hopefully, this collaboration will continue to grow and provide benefits for both parties,” she said.
Furthermore, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Wartika, S.Kom., M.T., emphasized that the outcomes of the discussions should not stop at merely exchanging information. According to her, the various ideas and opportunities that emerged need to be manifested into concrete programs that support the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education.
“Our hope is that this benchmarking activity will serve as the first step toward broader collaboration in the fields of education, research, and community service. The synergy built is expected to drive improvements in academic quality while producing outstanding graduates who are ready to compete at both the national and global levels,” she said.
The activity then continued with an interactive discussion moderated by Arif Try Cahyadi, M.Ds., Head of the Public Relations and Public Information Division. The discussion covered various aspects of study program management, curriculum development based on Outcome-Based Education (OBE), academic quality enhancement, research development, and strategies for producing competitive graduates who meet the needs of the business and industrial sectors.
Through this benchmarking, UNIKOM once again demonstrated its commitment to building strategic partnerships with universities across Indonesia. It is expected that this collaboration will strengthen the quality of higher education, increase research productivity, and contribute more significantly to the advancement of science and societal development.
