Sriwijaya University’s (UNSRI) commitment to driving impactful digital transformation continues to be realized through the contributions of its researchers. One tangible example of this is the involvement of the COMNETS (Computer Network and Information Systems) Research Group as experts and developers of the IAMUNSRI digital ecosystem—the official platform that connects alumni, graduating students, and corporate partners through a single integrated service. Since its launch in early 2026, IAMUNSRI has shown very positive growth. To date, the platform has been used by more than 5,000 users, consisting of final-year students and alumni of Sriwijaya University. This growth in users reflects the increasing need for digital services capable of connecting graduates to the workforce more effectively and reliably.
As a research group focused on the development of computer networks, information systems, digital transformation, and smart technologies, the COMNETS Research Group plays a key role in designing system architecture, service integration, data security, and developing innovations that make IAMUNSRI a platform capable of adapting to user needs and developments in the digital industry.
In its latest development, COMNETS has introduced two strategic innovations that further strengthen IAMUNSRI’s position as a digital alumni ecosystem.
The first innovation is the integration of IAMUNSRI with SEEK Pass by JobStreet via real-time Application Programming Interface (API) technology. Through this collaboration, every University of Sriwijaya alumnus who has completed the identity verification process on IAMUNSRI will automatically receive “Verified” (Blue Checkmark) status on their JobStreet account. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the digital transformation of Sriwijaya University. According to Aron Roderick, Country Partnership Lead at SEEK Australia, Sriwijaya University is the first university in Indonesia to integrate SEEK Pass with its university system via a real-time API mechanism. This innovation is a strategic step toward strengthening a digital recruitment ecosystem that is more trustworthy, efficient, and provides added value for graduates as they enter the workforce.
The second innovation is the launch of the Alumni Chat feature, which allows all University of Sriwijaya alumni registered on IAMUNSRI to communicate directly with one another within the platform. This feature serves as a digital space for alumni to share information, expand their professional networks, explore collaboration opportunities, exchange career experiences, and build a more active and productive community.
As experts and platform developers, the COMNETS Research Group believes that universities play a strategic role in building a digital ecosystem capable of producing graduates who are ready to face the challenges of the digital transformation era. Through IAMUNSRI, UNSRI not only provides modern digital services but also creates a collaborative space that strengthens the connection between higher education and industry needs. This initiative is expected to strengthen Universitas Sriwijaya’s contribution to producing outstanding digital talent, expand employment opportunities for graduates, and support the realization of the Indonesia Emas 2045 vision through inclusive, innovative, and sustainable digital transformation.
