The purpose of this study is to design a digital platform design as one solution to solving poverty problems that exist in the community with various causes. Poverty is a complex problem caused by multidimensionality. The cause of poverty is not only a problem of economic inequality but also caused by social problems, education, and lack of access to communicate or communication. The methodology used in this research is Sociotechnical System (STS), STS analysis used six attributes, namely goals, people, buildings/infrastructure, technology, culture, and processes/procedures. This approach (STS) analyzes approaches based on social problems and technical problems. The final results of this study created a digital platform design as a public space to capture community participation in order to care and want to share with poor communities in the form of entrepreneurship training groups (UKM). This technology becomes a tool to help in educating society, not a rival of the community in accordance with the principles of society 5.0.
BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) continues to expand and strengthen its institutional collaboration network through the exploration of an extension of its partnership with the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM). The initiative is part of preparations for the implementation of artificial intelligence in the development of a talent management system within BPOM’s State Civil Apparatus Information System (SIASN). The exploratory meeting regarding the extension of the cooperation was held in a hybrid format (offline and online) on Wednesday, 11 February 2026, at the Meeting Room, Lobby Smart Building UNIKOM. The meeting served as both an evaluation forum and a strategic milestone to reinforce the commitment of both institutions in supporting the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education and advancing technology-based system development.
Representing the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) were Senior Civil Apparatus Human Resources Assessor Dra. Ida Farida, Apt.; Senior Expert Civil Apparatus HR Analyst Selvina Dzulhi, S.Farm., Apt., M.Farm.; Analyst Lia Mardidyaastuti, S.T.; First Expert Computer Administrator Dzikri Habibilah, S.Kom.; and Skilled Computer Administrator Tata Sutiadi, A.Md.
From UNIKOM, attendees included Deputy Vice Rector IV Adam Mukharil Bachtiar, S.Kom., M.T., Ph.D.; Director of PTDSI Irfan Dwiguna Sumitra, S.Kom., M.Kom., Ph.D.; Head of the Cooperation Division Dr. Henike Primawanti, M.I.Pol.; and Head of the Codelabs Division as well as Informatics Engineering Lecturer Dian Dharmayanti, S.T., M.Kom., along with three internship (KP) student team members who participated in strategic discussions regarding the direction of collaboration over the next five years.
The first phase of cooperation (2021–2026) has been implemented through various programs, particularly in strengthening institutional systems and enhancing human resource capacity within the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM). Since 2021, academic and technical support has been realized through system training programs focused on strengthening information technology competencies and optimizing adaptive work systems aligned with digital transformation. These initiatives have involved UNIKOM’s academic and practitioner teams, including contributions from the Deputy Vice Rector IV and the Head of the Codelabs Division, supported by the Codelabs team. Additional efforts have included digital capacity development and needs-based institutional collaboration.
During the meeting, both institutions evaluated the achievements of the previous cooperation period and formulated plans for renewal for the 2025–2030 term. The extension also aligns with leadership dynamics and the new administrative period within the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM), necessitating strategic alignment of shared vision and future collaboration strategies.
A key factor reinforcing this synergy is the role of UNIKOM alumni currently serving at the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM), including Zikri, who has acted as a bridge for communication and inter-institutional development. The presence of alumni in strategic state institutions is regarded as instrumental in fostering more practical and sustainable collaborations.
Head of the Cooperation Division, Dr. Henike, stated that the meeting marked part of the renewal process of the established partnership, with a focus on strengthening the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, encompassing education, research, and community service, as well as developing system training programs aligned with the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency’s institutional needs.
