What Management's Events does

SIMASTER UGM is the integrated academic information system of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), a public university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia founded in 1941. The platform supports academic, research, and community service operations for the university's students, lecturers, education staff (Tendik), and parents/guardians. It handles course registration, grading, student services, tracer studies, dormitory registration, and parent communication channels, with access via a web portal (simaster.ugm.ac.id) and dedicated mobile applications on Android and iOS.

The technical foundation is the proprietary UGM Framework (versions 3.1 and 3.2), developed and maintained in-house by the university's Direktorat Teknologi Informasi (DTI) and DSSDI. The product suite includes SIMASTER Core, the vNEXT Student, Lecturer/Staff, and Parent apps, a registration portal covering undergraduate, graduate, professional, and non-degree programs (including international IUP and RPL pathways), a PIN-based survey module, and a centralized UGM Single Sign-On service. The system was first deployed for the 2019 student cohort and underwent a major UX redesign with the vNEXT launch in 2026.

The business model is non-commercial: SIMASTER is provided free of charge to the UGM academic community, with no subscription, licensing, or advertising revenue. There is no external investor or VC ownership — the system is wholly institutional infrastructure funded by the public university. Distribution is via web portal, Google Play, the Apple App Store, and UGM SSO, with target users limited to a single institutional tenant.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Oracle PeopleSoft Campus Solutions: Enterprise SIS from Oracle covering admissions, academic records, and student financials. Comparable as an established, broad-portfolio SIS vendor targeting large universities — the kind of incumbent SIMASTER would be benchmarked against for capability gaps.
• Ellucian: Global leader in higher-ed SIS (Banner, Colleague, PowerCampus). Comparable as the dominant Western SIS serving thousands of universities with registration, academic records, and student lifecycle modules — the global incumbent SIMASTER would compete with if expanding internationally.
• Anthology (Campus Management / Blackboard): Higher-ed suite combining SIS (Campus Management / PowerCampus) with LMS (Blackboard). Comparable as a broad incumbent offering overlapping SIS and academic workflow functionality — relevant as a single-vendor alternative for institutions evaluating unified stacks.

Others

• Ruangguru: Indonesia's largest consumer EdTech platform for K-12 tutoring and learning content. Comparable as an Indonesian EdTech brand with overlapping end users (students and parents), but operates in a different category (supplemental learning, not university SIS).

Direct peers

• SIMAK UI (Universitas Indonesia): Academic information system for Universitas Indonesia, the other flagship Indonesian public university. Directly comparable as a domestically-built higher-ed SIS serving a large, multi-faculty student body with similar registration, grading, and academic workflows.
• PD Dikti / Neofeeder (Kemendiktisaintek): Indonesia's national higher-education student database and feeder system mandated for all Indonesian universities. Comparable as a parallel SIS that overlaps on registration, student records, and reporting — competing for the same institutional workflows SIMASTER serves.

Emerging players

• Workday Student: Cloud-native modern SIS from Workday, still gaining adoption among research universities. Comparable as a forward-looking SIS platform with a different architectural philosophy (cloud, unified data model) that signals where institutional buyers are heading.
• Jenzabar (now part of Tribal Group): Niche higher-ed SIS focused on small-to-mid institutions, now part of Tribal Group. Comparable as a focused SIS vendor whose scale and target segment mirror what a non-flagship Indonesian university would shop for.
