 Message from the Dean

The development of human civilization towards a knowledge-based society is

marked by the progress in the field of science and technology, especially in the
field of Computer Science. Society that controls information and its supporting
technology will inevitably be the people that are in the front line in any progress
in this world.

In order to provide qualified human resources, in 1988, the Faculty of Com-

puter Science, University of Indonesia (UI Fasilkom) pioneered the opening of
a new program called the Masters Degree in Information Technology or com-
monly abbreviated as MTI.

The MTI Program is designed to be completed within 4 (four) semesters. How-

ever, students with solid background may complete it in 3 (three) semesters.
This handbook has been prepared to provide study guidelines for students of
the Masters program. We hope these information will allow you to successfully
complete the program.

 General Information

History of Fasilkom UI
The faculty of Computer Science, University of Indonesia (Fasilkom UI) cannot
be separated from the Computer Science Center, University of Indonesia (UI
Pusilkom) which was founded in 1972. The goal of this institute is to develop
the field of Computer Science in Indonesia, particularly in UI. Equipped with
several punch machines and funds from the Ford Foundation, Pusilkom develops
computer programs in the UI Salemba campus.

In 1976, Pusilkom UI was responsible for the data processing of the nationwide
college entrance exam (SKALU). Experience and support needed to process
these nationwide data gave encouragement Pusilkom UI to provide scholarships
for its personnels to further their studies in the United States of America.

Along with the support from UI, Pusilkom initiated the establishment of the
faculty of Computer Science in UI (Fasilkom). In 1986, The bachelor program
in Computer Science is officially opened; followed by the master level program
in 1988 and Doctorate level in 1993.
In line with developments in science and technology, in 1996 the Master level
program evolved into two separate programs, namely:
1. Master of Science program in Computer Science, with emphasis on re-
search in Computer Science
2. Master of Information Technology, with emphasis on the management of
Information Technology and Information Systems

Introduction
During the last decade, Information Technology (IT) has been undergone a
dramatic advancement. Today, IT plays a major role within the business and
management of the modern organization. This has brought increasing in trends
in demand of IT professionals capable in Assessing, building, and deploying IT

infrastructures.

Postgraduate Program in Information Technology (MTI), under the adminis-

tration of the Faculty of Computer Science, University of Indonesia, established
in the year 1996 has a mission to fulfill the supply-demand gap between the
industrial needs and the availability of IT professionals. As most of our instruc-
tors and students came from different backgrounds in industries or academics,
students will benefit from the richness resulted from these interactions.

The aims of our programs are:

Building core knowledge and expertise in IT.
Integrating IT with business process/functions.
Building communication, interpersonal skills and teamwork within orga-
nization.
The MTI program is an 41 load of credit courses. Usually, can be completed
in three or four semesters. Upon completion, graduates will of several awarded
by the title MTI (Masters in Information Technology / Masters Degree in
Information Technology).

Vision and Mission

UI envisions to be an independent, modern, and internationally-recognized re-
search university; the UI Fasilkom strives to make Fasilkom as the top referral
Institution in Indonesia in the field of Computer Science and Information Tech-
nology; the MTI Programme vision is:
Being a top referral master program in the field of IT in Indonesia or amongst
ASEAN countries.
In order to support this vision, the MTI program has a mission as follows:
1. Focusing on the development of IT education, especially to prepare the hu-
man resources that meet the needs of society and utilizes new technologies
(emerging technology) in the field of IT.
2. Produce IT graduates who can compete globally, especially in integrating
technology and management aspects.

3. Develop a research center, collaboration and partnerships with industries

in the field of IT services and development.

Information Technology Investment Management

Weight: 3 credit units
Description:
Investment in Information Systems / Information Technology (IS / IT) indus-
try, like investments in other fields, will always be associated with costs and
benefits. Cost is much more easily identified and counted compared with the
benefits, especially intangible benefit, which includes such corporate image and
increase customer satisfaction due to the use of the SI / IT. The hardest part
that requires a long time is an attempt to quantify the intangible benefits into
the value of currency to make the cost-benefit analysis is more accurate.
Most business managers and chose not to arrive at a detailed level when talking
about the intangible benefits because the depth of analysis is uncertain inna-
ture. A more practical way is using a financial approach is to focus on tangible
benefits, such as cost savings, staff reductions, etc. Unfortunately, reducing or
even eliminating the contribution of the intangible benefits of IS / IT imple-
mentation also reduces the economic value of IS / IT investment itself.
Based on these issues, experts have introduced a more practical way to get a
quick overview about the value of an IS / IT investment, that is through a non-
financial approaches. The combination of financial approach and non-financial

results of the assessment is believed to provide an accurate estimate of an IS /

IT investment. In this course, students will be taught in applying a valuation
method / IT investment that combines the two approaches mentioned above.
Students will also be introduced to the Generic IS / IT Business values for ease
of identifying the benefits generated by the SI / IT. Other assessment methods
such as Real Options, Economic Value Added, and the Balanced Scorecard will
also be introduced as a comparison.
