Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika (UBSI) welcomed a delegation from Universitas Pembangunan Nasional (UPN) 'Veteran' Jawa Timur for a benchmarking visit focused on digital transformation in higher education. The UPN Veteran Jatim team, led by the Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science, Novirina Hendrasarie, met with UBSI Rector Mochamad Wahyudi and other university officials.
Wahyudi highlighted the critical role of information technology in enhancing university governance, stating that digital transformation involves integrating technology into all business processes, not just adopting new applications. "Digital transformation is not only about using applications, but how information technology can be integrated to support business processes, improve service quality, provide accurate data, and assist leadership in decision-making," he explained.
The discussion covered the integration of academic and non-academic services, infrastructure management, data security, and the use of information systems for decision-making. The UPN Veteran Jatim team showed particular interest in UBSI's strategies for system maintenance, regular evaluations, and the development of digital services responsive to the needs of the academic community.
Wahyudi expressed hope that the exchange would lead to broader future collaborations, including the development of information technology, enhancing human resource competencies, and advancing higher education in Indonesia through the Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi (three principles of higher education).
