Jakarta | Badilag.net

After passing a long preparation, The Integrated Supreme Court Information System (SIMARI) was finally introduced to the public, at the Supreme Court building on Friday (04/27/2012).

“This is a good step to integrate the existing information systems.” The Hon. Hatta Ali said when addressing a speech before the leaders of the Supreme Court, the supreme justices, the officials of echelon I and II, and some court leaders.

The integrated SIMARI is established by Biro of Law and Public Relation under the Biro of Administration.

There are six information systems included in the new system, namely case administration information system, personnel information system, planning information system, asset information system and logistic information system.

The integrated SIMARI is developed to be applied nationally. The system can be accessed through the website of mahkamahagung.go.id. The system applies “single sign in” to identify the user. By login once, the user can access some applications at once.

The Chief Justice stated that SIMARI was needed to implement the Decree of the Chief Justice Num. 1-144/KMA/SK/I/2011 on the Guidelines of Information Services at the Courts and the Decree Num. 026/KMA/SK/II/2012 on the Standardized Services of the Court.

According to the Chief Justice, the integrated SIMARI is important to establish, since the judicatures have been one roof  under the Supreme Court since 2005, each working unit and judicature develop their own application and information system.

Paperless System

According to the Chief Justice also, the integrated SIMARI will change the management of public service. The old manners such as meeting face to face, providing forms at the queue counter and many others should be left, instead the information service applying keyboard, CPU, monitor screen, and internet networking.

“The popular terminology is paperless system.” The Chief Justice concluded.

Although the system has a positive impact for the court, the implementation of integrated SIMARI is not as easy as reversing palm of the hand.

That is why, a clear vision and the readiness of the human resources are needed.

The Chief Justice insisted that the success in implementing technology depends on the commitment and the support of all.

Not Included the Website

The integrated SIMARI does not include the website as an important medium of information disclosure for the courts.

In the middle of August 2010, the Indonesian Center for Law and Policy Studies (Pusat Studi Hukum dan Kebijakan Indonesia—PSHK) published a book on the research result entitled “the Mapping of Implementation of Information Technology at the Indonesian Supreme Court.”

Through the book, PSHK tried to present a detail description on a long journey of the development and the implementation of Information Technology at the Supreme Court since 1984 to 2010. As a working unit of the Supreme Court, Directorate General of Badilag was becoming the object of mapping. The religious courts and high religious courts were also observed.

According to the book written by Aria Suyudi, SH., LLM and friends, the Directorate General of Badilag was the pioneer of decentralized management of website in the Supreme Court circumstances. At the beginning, the website of the Supreme Court was designed to centralize. In 2005, the decentralization of website management was begun at the first time by Directorate General of Badilag.

“It was the model unofficially adopted by the Supreme Court. Then the model was followed by Directorate General of Badilum, and the last was also followed by Balitbangdiklat.” Aria Suyudi wrote on page 161 of the book.

The decentralization of website management, according to the writers of the book, was the most rational solution. Decentralization was able to ascertain the best responsiveness and accelerate the scope of IT implementation. The things taken as the considerations are the business process, legal framework, organizational culture, infrastructure, and the readiness of the human resources.

Beside being the pioneer of decentralization, the website of badilag.net was installed to be the website with the highest performance. The website which applies three languages was not only  assessed to have the most module and information, but also practising the update continuously.

The book also revealed the success secrets of website badilag.net. According to Aria Suyudi, the success of Directorate General of Badilag to manage the website was driven by the active motivation of the leaders and the total integration of IT initiatives within the routine activities of the Directorate General of Badilag.

The handbook of competency technical guidance for technical resources under the religious courts which is being set by Badilag will be finished by the end of May.

“We are still working on it and we will examine or discuss it again by the begining of May, but with the wish of God, we would have finished it by the end of the month so it could be spread out soon to courts in entire regions,” said Purwosusilo, the Director of Technical Resources under the Religious Courts, Thursday (12/4/19).

All this time, the religious courts has no fixed standard on training pattern for work units. Therefore, this handbook hopefully would be the reference standard for appeal judges in organizing competency technical guidance towards the first-level courts.

Purwosusilo further explained “this handbook would bring uniformity to technical guidance for judges, registrar and bailiff affairs which performed by any appeal courts.”

For the sake of empowering appeal judges as a forefront of the Supreme Court, Badilag assumed to delegate the authority to organize technical guidance programs to appeal courts as the conductor in the future.
