The Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at UNIKOM, Prof. Siti Kurnia, stated that one of UNIKOM strengths lies in its centralized governance system at the university level. Various strategic services ranging from academics, resources, general administration, information technology, to quality assurance are managed by directorates under the coordination of the university leadership, thereby enabling effective, efficient, and productive governance with uniform service standards across all faculties. Therefore, during the benchmarking event, the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at UNIKOM invited the university leadership to ensure that the delegation from Universitas Tidar gained a comprehensive understanding of the management system implemented at UNIKOM.
Furthermore, the Dean of the Faculty of Economics at Universitas Tidar, Prof. Dr. Izza Mafruhah, S.E., M.Si., expressed her appreciation for the warm welcome extended by UNIKOM. She explained that the primary objective of the benchmarking visit was to study the various best practices implemented by UNIKOM, particularly in organizational governance, information systems, and integrated academic management. “We came to UNIKOM to learn from a university that has developed exceptionally well. There are many things we wish to learn, ranging from organizational governance and integrated information systems to how to foster a work culture that motivates the entire academic community to perform at their best. We view UNIKOM as a university with strong organizational governance, supported by a robust technological infrastructure, clear business processes, and an integrated information system. These aspects serve as inspiration for us to continue improving the quality of governance at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Tidar,” said Prof. Izza.
At the start of the benchmarking session, UNIKOM leadership and directors took turns presenting the profiles of their work units, organizational structures, governance, and innovations that have been implemented within the university. The First Vice Rector for Academic and Student Affairs, Prof. Umi, presented an integrated academic and student affairs management system, while the Second Vice Rector for Resources, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Agus, explained the human resource management strategy, organizational structure, and institutional governance that support the university’s effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity.
The Director of Digital Technology and Information Systems Development (PTDSI), Irfan Dwiguna Sumitra, S.Kom., M.Kom., Ph.D., presented the implementation of the information technology ecosystem that serves as the foundation for UNIKOM’s digital transformation. Various information systems have been developed in an integrated manner to support academic processes, administration, services for the academic community, and data-driven decision-making. This transformation is further strengthened through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in both learning and institutional governance, in line with UNIKOM vision as a Digital Entrepreneurial University and an AI-Ready Campus.
On this occasion, Prof. Umi also noted that many universities look to UNIKOM as a benchmark due to the institution’s success in establishing information technology-based governance. “Alhamdulillah, UNIKOM is often chosen as a benchmarking destination because our administrative management of faculty and staff is highly regarded. All systems have been integrated with information technology so that services can operate digitally, effectively, efficiently, and in a modern manner,” said Prof. Umi.
In addition, Prof. Umi added that the results of this benchmarking are expected to mark the beginning of broader cooperation between UNIKOM and Tidar University. According to her, both institutions have the opportunity to further develop this relationship through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA), and an Implementation Agreement (IA). Furthermore, the two universities are also exploring the possibility of developing a domestic double-degree program as a form of academic collaboration that will benefit students, faculty, and the institutional development of both institutions.
Through this benchmarking activity, UNIKOM Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) reaffirmed its commitment as a faculty that is open to collaboration, innovation, and the sharing of best practices in support of improving the quality of higher education. In line with UNIKOM’s vision as a Digital Entrepreneurial University and an AI-Ready Campus, the synergy between UNIKOM and Universitas Tidar is expected to generate various collaborative programs that will have a tangible impact on institutional development and produce outstanding, innovative graduates who are ready to face the challenges of the digital transformation and artificial intelligence era.
