Startup Edutech "SEVIMA" Democratize 950+ Indonesian Universities with SaaS

Revolutionizing the campus digitalization paradigm is said to cost billions of rupiah, Startup Education Technology SEVIMA is here to solve the digital divide by presenting top-notch yet affordable SaaS Based System.

Indonesia is currently experiencing the Digital Divide phenomenon. This is no exception in the world of higher education. There are campuses that have complete digital facilities because they are able to create their own campus academic system at a cost of billions of rupiah. But there are still many campuses that currently have limited digital facilities because they don't have that much money.

These campuses with limited digital facilities finally learn to use chalk boards, carry out the registration and payment process for tuition by having to queue for long hours under the hot sun, and still carry out all administrative and bureaucratic processes using piles of paper, manually and tiringly.

What's worse, this condition occurs not only in the outermost regions of Indonesia. This condition also occurs on the island of Java. Mainly on private campuses with a small number of students. This was stated by Dr Budi Djatmiko as Chair of the Association of Indonesian Private Universities (APTISI), and Andry Huzain as Chief Marketing Officer of Startup Education Technology SEVIMA, at the SEVIMA Press Conference, Tuesday (20/06). This press conference was attended by 5,000 chancellors and lecturers from all over Indonesia.

"Therefore, this phenomenon is called the digital divide. Campuses are not separated by distance, but by digital capabilities. The impact is fatal, campuses that have digitized, especially state campuses, have millions of applicants. Meanwhile, small campuses that do not digitize will definitely be left out, in the end the number "There are fewer registrants and financial capabilities, and it is increasingly difficult to digitize. It's time for the campus to be clouded, it's in the cloud!" said Budi Djatmiko.

Revolutionizing the campus digitalization paradigm is said to cost billions of rupiah, Startup Education Technology SEVIMA is here to solve the digital divide by presenting top-notch yet affordable alternative. Campuses now don't have to do digitalization by creating their own applications, but simply subscribe to applications from SEVIMA with affordable monthly fees and everything is cloud-based whose security has been internationally certified.

Technically, this application is based on Software as a Service (SaaS). With this disruption in costs and technology, SEVIMA has skyrocketed to now serving more than 800 campuses and 3 million students throughout Indonesia as its users.

"The initial idea was SEVIMA as an IT startup that was founded in 2003, working on an academic system project worth billions. It turns out that between campuses, the problems and "cures" are relatively similar. So why not just one application, then campuses can subscribe for a fee "which is very affordable? We created the SEVIMA Platform, with a SaaS concept and cloud-based, the cheapest is two million a month and it can even be free," said Andry Huzain, who is also a former director at Detik.com and MNC.

How SEVIMA Revolutiones Education

The Software as a Service (SaaS)-based academic system developed by SEVIMA, later referred to as "SEVIMA Platform", revolutionized campus digitalization with its affordable costs but was still able to provide solutions to various campus administration problems.

These problems include the process of student admissions, tuition payments, online learning, accreditation, issuing diplomas, and reporting campus data to the government, which previously had to be input one by one via Excel, printed, or via various applications. With the SEVIMA Platform, all these processes can take place completely automatically and are integrated with each other.

The presence of SEVIMA is also able to democratize digitalization and integration of campus management business processes, because finally this facility can be accessed by the wider community. You don't have to use a laptop, you can also use a cellphone. Previously, digitalization and ease of administration were only privileges enjoyed by large campuses because they were financially stable and able to create their own applications.

"Part of our platform ecosystem -SevimaPay-, is also a payment aggregator on 800 campuses to be able to pay tuition fees through minimarkets. It seems simple, but it means a lot for students who previously had to pay manually on campus and didn't have access to banking," said Andry Huzain.

Togetherness and mutual cooperation are also SEVIMA's ways of changing the paradigm that digitalization can be the right of everyone and campuses without exception. The campus can enjoy a SaaS-based system and a guaranteed Cloud network at a much cheaper price because it is done jointly and based on economies of scale.

Economies of scale also ensure that SEVIMA prices remain affordable but are able to spur companies to continue to grow and profit, without the need to receive external funding and without burning money. "Until finally the SEVIMA Community appeared, which is organic and bottom up, with a Facebook group consisting of more than 5,000 IT operators on campus. This community exchanges experiences and development input, advocates for products," said Andry Huzain.
