UNIKA Atma Jaya integrates technology into every aspect of its academic journey—from immersive lectures to hybrid learning models. To support this vision, the university relies heavily on two core academic platforms:
- MyAtma – managing student-related activities such as attendance, schedules, and course registration.
- Sekata – supporting faculty needs, including lecturer data, research, and journal management.
These systems are critical to ensuring smooth daily operations, seamless student experiences, and effective research activities.
Challenges
To provide reliable, uninterrupted access to learning platforms, research databases, and administrative systems, UNIKA Atma Jaya needed IT infrastructure that could:
- Ensure stability and performance of mission-critical applications like MyAtma and Sekata.
- Safeguard sensitive student and research data from increasing cyber threats.
- Simplify IT management while minimizing operational disruptions and costs.
- Support remote and hybrid learning models in a secure and scalable way.
One of the biggest hurdles for the IT team was identifying and resolving root causes of issues quickly. Without the right tools, problem-solving often turned into IT firefighting—distracting staff from strategic priorities.
