Challenges: How to Empower Students with Seamless Academic Information Access?
ITB (Institut Teknologi Bandung) is a state university located in Bandung, Indonesia. Realizing the importance of digital development for academic information systems, ITB wants to develop MySIX, a mobile application for student academic activities. The current academic information system is used to manage ITB academic information, but unfortunately it is only available in the form of a website platform. To enhance convenience and accessible information for the ITB academic community, especially students, it is necessary to transform the existing academic information system into a mobile application that can be accessed via any mobile devices.
To increase the convenience and give accessible information for the academic community, particularly students, ITB decided to transform the current academic information system into a versatile mobile application. This aims to optimize the efficiency of information retrieval for the academic community, facilitating streamlined access and to deliver academic-related notifications faster and accurately.
