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
Computer Science, University of Indonesia (UI Fasilkom) pioneered the
opening of a new program called the Master's Degree in Information
Technology or commonly 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 Master's 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 eld 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 research 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 (MIT), under the administration
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 instructors 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.
Academic Guidelines: Master of Information Technology


Building communication, interpersonal skills and teamwork within
organization.
The MIT 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 / Master's
Degree in Information Technology).
Vision and Mission
UI envisions to be an independent, modern, and internationally-recognized
research university; the UI Fasilkom strives to make Fasilkom as the top
referral Institution in Indonesia in the field of Computer Science and
Information Technology"; the MIT Program vision is:
"Being a top referral master program in the field of IT in Indonesia and in the
world"
In order to support this vision, the MIT program has a mission as follows:
1. Focusing on the development of IT education, especially to prepare the
human 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.

com-pared with other products. On the other hand, many organizations now
rely heavily on software to run its business. Thus, software offers promising
possibilities for entrepreneurs.
In developing a quality product that has an added value, it is necessary to
dene good strategy and planning, ranging from the process of idea creation,
development, packaging and distribution process, determining the platforms
and business models, defining target markets, etc. Through this course,
students are expected to have the ability to be an entrepreneur in the field of
software industry.
IT Governance

Description:
In the development of the business, variety of behaviors and ethics, and
regulations, corporate governances are an important issues. Even in some
types of industries, such as banking, they have a set strict regulations,
ranging from corporate governance to IT governance. Thus, an
understanding of IT governance is absolute for professionals in the field of IS
/ IT. This course provides an understanding in strategies and techniques in IT
governance. This course requires an understanding in the relationship with
corporate governance, IT governance, IT governance techniques,
mechanisms of implementation, as well as aspects of leadership in IT
governance. Emphasis will be given to the principles of Sarbanes-Oxley for IT
governance and COBIT.

Information Technology Investment Management
Weight: 3 credit units
Description:
Investment in Information Systems / Information Technology (IS / IT) industry,
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 innature.
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 implementation 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 nonfinancial approaches. The combination of financial approach and nonfinancial 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.
