Common Statements

After Termination of a Development Project ?



ICT Facility is left behind and no longer

sustained

Less support from top management ?

Our Human Resources are not ready ?

We have been already implementing Information

System



Only Buying PCs and Building

(3)

PYRAMID MODEL

Concept Underlying Information System Development

Software-Hardware

Resource

Database

Existing Conditions

Local Area Network Infrastructure (Fiber Optic, Wireless LAN, UTP Cable)  100 Mbps

Websites, Management Information System (such as Academic Information System and Library Cataloging and Reservation System)

 Most Universities Have Them Running

Congested line to the Internet (128 kbps up to 1 Mbps compared to 100 Mbps LAN)  Slow Connection to the Internet

Less ICT-Based Research and Inter-Campus Academic Interactions

 Insufficient Development of Local Contents

(5)

Proposed Solution

Single Gateway to the Internet Connecting the Universities within two main lands (Sumatera and Kalimantan)

Upgrading the Internet Connection Facility Upgrading Human Resources and Organizational Functions Extending the Existing Local Area Network and Terminals Upgrading Multimedia Content Development Facility

This Internet Exchange Collaboration will involve Eighteen

Universities; UNSYIAH, USU, UDA, UMA, UHN, UISU,

UNIMED, UNRI, UNAND, UNP, UNSRI, UNILA, UNTAN, UNLAM, UNPAR, UPB, UVAYA, UNJ

Unila (BBS-Unilanet) will initiate to connect to Internet

Backbone through one of Satellite covering Asia, distributing the bandwidth to the U-18iXP via Private VSAT Networking Others will gathered in a private VSAT Networking (e.g. USU

– UNILA) and/or wireless connection (e.g. UNIMED to USU) Members of the U-18iXP together build and share

multimedia course materials among others via the

Established Network.

Proposed Solution

Cost Estimation

for 5 Years Implementation

Benefits

Single Gateway reduced investment and Internet connection cost An improved and well-maintained system

Collaborative research and Teaching-Learning Process Outsourcing capacities among the universities

Better Internet Bandwidth

Availability of Local Contents

Local Government will benefit from this scheme through Resource Sharing

(11)

Anticipated Problems and Strategy

Increasing demand on information access terminals and

possibility of uncertain policies in ICT development within

the university’s management

Huge internet traffics as a result of inter-university

collaboration will lead to more bandwidth consumption

Those sustainability questions can be treated through

Future Thoughts

Higher educations benefit from Information and Communication Technology given the technology is well-maintained and the support system is well-organized with

a strong and robust database system Fundamental Idea of Information System and the Internet
