Abstract
The e-government initiatives in Indonesia has been increased for
the last 2-3 years, and deal with many constraints of e-government
implementation. One of this initiatives is how to develop a
program called “e-government incubator”, and implementing the
application ‘Integrated SIMDA’ (Sistem Informasi Daerah) as part
of program that would support the “e-government incubator”
activity.
This paper will describe the background, basic idea, content
design and approach in development and implementation of
Integrated SIMDA, as a case of e-government initiatives in West
Java Province Indonesia. The main idea of Integrated SIMDA is
to prepare a tool for facilitate collecting and disseminating
information from the basic level of society, in this case, from sub
district (kecamatan). Main issue in government performance
evaluation was chosen to define the priority of information
requirement that should deliver by the system, especially how the
system can provide sufficient information to calculate Human
Development Index.
Integrated SIMDA was not expected as perfect solution, but it just
an embryo for extended and larger system to integrate all required
information. To support this purpose, the approach of “growing
house” was selected as strategy for development content and
features, and implementation the system. This approach was
chosen because the user need flexible way to modify and
customize the application based on localized requirement. At
implementation stage, the government has a plan to build mutual
partnership with local university/academy in providing the
competent human resource as initiator and facilitator for end user.
