Jakarta, February 3 2021 - Smartfren Business has succeeded in realizing the development
of the Smart Village concept in Kulon Progo Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. This is
in line with Smartfren's commitment to help and make the internet a means of opening up
new opportunities and facilitating digital activities for all Indonesians.
The Smart Village was created by utilizing One Touch Unified Conferencing (OneTouch UC), a
service created by Smartfren Business collaboration with Zoom. Before the service was
implemented, the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult for the local district government to
coordinate to organize education and government agendas. Through OneTouch UC, meeting
activities between village apparatus operations, village heads, and monitoring of village
development can be held virtually.
Other than that, OneTouch UC also helped to provide counseling for SME (Small and Medium
Enterprise) players in various villages in Kulon Progo. Virtual SME coordination and
counseling like this also helped carry out productive activities of the community, while
still ensuring health protocols. Throughout 2020, total of 29 villages were connected
digitally, and as many as 45 others will follow in 2021.
Ari Wibowo, the Karangsari Mandiri Synergy Management Board, Kulon Progo Regency said,
"Starting from the demand of health protocols and difficulty in coordinating remotely, we
finally succeeded in opening up new opportunities by implementing the Smart Village
concept in Kulon Progo. We chose the OneTouch UC video teleconference from Smartfren
Business because we were impressed by the speed of service and the convenience it
provided. Especially when holding teleconferences between village apparatus operations
throughout the Kulon Progo region. "
Rangga, CEO of Smartfren Business added, "We are very grateful for the trust given in
helping Kulon Progo Regency open opportunities and got great benefits from digital
technology. OneTouch UC is one of our proud services that offers virtual meeting, so all
parties can coordinate and communicate well even while still at their respective homes. We
are also committed to continuing to provide services are more innovative and have a
positive impact on society in 2021. "
Kulon Progo District is just one of the positive benefits of OneTouch UC services for the
community. Throughout 2020, Smartfren Business has also succeeded in implementing it in
campus digitization at Airlangga University, Surabaya in order to smooth the educational
process. The educational process that is implemented virtually includes online language
laboratory tests, online admissions for new students, to virtual meetings / coordination
by the rector. The success of this implementation has also made Airlangga University a
role model for other educational institutions in East Java.
