Previous studies conducted in the economy, finance and business management fields have found that there exists a collection of business agglomerations, which contain various numbers of firms that are spread on a specific region. Based on this realness, the selection of apt business locale for a new establishment should then be considered as a trial to identify the prospective business agglomeration in which the new establishment would be able to compete with existing firms. Consequently, a pertinent method that works by characterizing the business agglomerations from a collection of business firms data and subsequently computes the projection of business performance level of a new establishment in each identified agglomeration is developed in this study. A two-stage graph-clustering algorithm that purposively designed to unravel the task of business agglomerations identification is introduced, whereas the localized classification models perform the prediction of business performance level in each known agglomerations. Decisively, results from conducted experiment suggest that the proposed method is beneficial to distinguish the apt business locale for new establishments in a particular region with a collection of business agglomerations.

“Selamat pagi Pak, bahan untuk presentasi sudah saya kirim ke surel, mohon responnya, thx”, sebuah pesan singkat masuk ke ponsel pak Achmadi, Account Manager sebuah perusahaan telekomunikasi. Segera dibukanya laptop yang sedari tadi dibawanya, dan setelah membaca file yang dikirim tersebut serta memberi sejumlah arahan, file tersebut dikirim kembali untuk diperbaiki. Hanya dalam waktu hitungan detik file tersebut sudah diterima oleh pengirim dan siap dipresentasikan di hadapan klien sebuah bank swasta ternama minggu depan.

Lain lagi cerita pak Khairul, wajahnya tampak bersungut-sungut ketika melihat ada setumpuk surat yang tergeletak di mejanya. Entah berapa lembar surat undangan yang dia terima hari ini, baik dari internal maupun dari luar. Sebagai kepala divisi Pengolahan Data suatu departemen pemerintahan, agaknya usaha pemakaian media elektronik yang selama ini disosialisasikannya belum membuahkan hasil yang optimal. Bahkan beberapa kepala divisi yang lain sepertinya sangat anti dengan teknologi ini. Undangan rapat internal masih saja menggunakan berlembar-lembar kertas, yang ujung-ujungnya akan menjadi penghuni tempat sampah. Komunikasi atau rapat pun masih harus menggunakan cara konvensional, yaitu tatap muka. Padahal departemen tersebut sudah mengeluarkan uang ratusan juta untuk mengimplementasikan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK) di setiap unit usaha. Memang, investasi TIK yang tidak didukung dengan perubahan perilaku manajemen, hasilnya pasti akan sia-sia. Padahal salah satu kunci utama yang harus dilakukan oleh departemen baik tingkat kota maupun kabupaten dalam menerapkan TIK, terlebih lagi e-government, adalah dengan disertai change management.

Di sudut salah satu cafe di bilangan Jakarta Selatan, Nadia asik menikmati kopi sambil menunggu kemacetan yang diharapkan segera teruai. Sebuah notifikasi terdengar tanda ada sebuah surel baru masuk. Wajahnya terlihat sumringah, surel yang sudah lama dinantikannya pun tiba. Panggilan interview online dari perusahaan yang berpusat di Singapura yang sudah lama diimpikannya. Interview ini akan dilakukan menggunakan aplikasi Skype, sesuai dengan tanggal dan jam yang sudah ditentukan. Nadia meletakkan smartphone yang sejak tadi ada di genggamannya. Membayangkan mungkin ini terakhir kali dia akan duduk di cafe ini untuk menunggu macet.

Tiga cerita di atas merupakan gambaran nyata, bagaimana teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK) berkembang di berbagai perusahaan di Indonesia. Barangkali bagi sejumlah perusahaan swasta yang cukup ternama, TIK sudah menjadi satu media komunikasi yang sangat diandalkan. Kehadiran TIK bukan hanya sebagai pengikut tren saja, tetapi sudah menjadi bagian dari kegiatan operasional perusahaan sehari-hari. Dalam perusahaan-perusahaan ini, dapat dikatakan peran TIK menjadi sangat vital, terlebih jika dikaitkan dengan pelayanan kepada pelanggan atau klien yang menuntut ketepatan dan kecepatan.

Akan tetapi di sisi lain, masih banyak badan usaha milik pemerintah atau departemen, ataupun perusahaan swasta baik di kota maupun di daerah, yang justru dirasa lambat dalam menggunakan TIK. Entah karena biaya investasi yang mahal, atau alasan sumber daya manusia (SDM) yang kurang menguasai TIK ini, atau bahkan budaya TIK yang belum menjadi budaya keseharian dalam lembaga tersebut. Sangat disayangkan, mengingat mereka adalah garda terdepan yang menjadi pelayan bagi masyarakat banyak, malahan tidak dapat memanfaatkan TIK yang memiliki keunggulan dalam pengaksesan data yang cepat, tepat, dan akurat.

The IoT (Internet of Things) in Banking

The term Internet of Things or widely known as the IoT has been introduced and mentioned so many times in different medias across the globe for the last couple of years. It was first presented by the Massachusets Institute of Technology and up to this day the vision has really come to light. Yet, some of us may not yet understand the concept or objective of the term itself.

The easiest explanation to describe the main concept of IoT is actually the ability to connect all things, that include devices, systems, and services that goes so they would operate together, sharing data, information and services enabling the automation in any fields for human being. Another way to describe IoT is the condition in which all electronic devices are connected to each other and they are accessible through the Internet. This is the same as saying that we can control our washing machine or refrigerator at home using our smart phone or smart watch.

The IoT concept itself is anything but new since it has been discussed since 1982 at the Carnegie Melon University, which was known as the concept of network of smart devices. Nevertheless, the realization of the concept was first took place in the year 1999 along with the growth of Internet. As Gartner predicts that by the year 2020 there will be nearly 26 billion devices connected to each other, the IoT concept now starting to take it’s real shape instead of just being a dream.

Consumer is actually the core of the IoT revolution. As we know, the Internet and technology have become part of today society daily life style and activities. People love to get engage using various types of channel and also share their thoughts through social media. These people who to many industries are customers expect prompt service and responses to their queries and complaints, and when they don’t get it they turn to the crowd for recommendations. Along with the increase of these activities, data that will be available from the Internet will definitely grow significantly. Accordingly, consumer expectation for high quality services from the businesses they choose would drastically boosting.

Banks already have an privileged amount of data on customers and when we layer on top the additional information the IoT will give, banks should be able to analyze and use that to anticipate its customers’ needs and, unprompted, deliver relevant solutions, services, advice and insights.

Mark Dangerfield oversees the implementation of a lot of Westpac New Zealand’s digital innovations and he sees possibilities for both consumers and businesses and the way they connect with their bank. “Through IoT, we’re no longer constrained to just the tasks of banking, we can now consider all aspects of our customer’s lives and develop solutions that can help them,” he said.

In an enlightening paper, management specialist Accenture forecasts this example as the new reality in less than five years:

Yumi Sato needed to take her car to the mechanic. Her car flashed an alert on its dashboard while she was on her way home from work. She wondered how she’d pay for the expensive motor repairs.

Arriving home, Yumi pulled out her phone and opened her bank app. At a glance, she could see the budget would be tight. Her bank continuously pulled data from her smart fridge, electric meter, water tank and other appliances, her smartphone’s digital wallet — and even her car — to provide a real-time snapshot of her spending, saving and budget activity.

As she looked over the figures, an alert from her bank popped up on-screen. The bank knew her car needed repairs — and here it was with two mechanics’ quotes and available appointment times. As though reading her mind, the bank also provided Yumi with suggestions on how to finance the repair: she could find the funds by reducing her vacation savings for six months, or raise her credit card limit by the amount of the repair. The bank had factored in the latest reduction in her auto insurance, based on the car’s recent data about her driving habits.

Yumi decided she could stay a bit closer to home for this year’s vacation, checked her calendar and booked the repair. Instantly, the screen updated her vacation fund goal.

Recent findings in the United States by the reputable Pew Research Centre also show that many believe the IoT will transform our lives within a decade aided by wearable technology monitoring our activity and health.

For banks in particular, wearable technology is seen as providing an immediate opportunity. Wearables could allow new forms of security and authentication (fingerprints, heart beats, DNA) while it also has potential for messaging. Alerting someone of an account being compromised or seeking confirmation of a large withdrawal is bound to get picked up a lot quicker by a customer through a vibration on a wrist device then waiting for someone to respond to a text or email.

In conclusion, the IoT is happening, and when we relate it to the banking industry it is definitely proceeding as well. However, the million dollars question is: are our local banks ready to adopt and make use of the technology and compete with overseas banks in the 2015 AEC era?

How green is your computer doesn’t mean that your computer color is green (sure it is not my fav color :D), but concerned about our behaviour using ICT. The concept of Green ICT has been applied since the 1990’s with the Energy Star label for electronic items that have passed the test as energy-efficient appliances. Although many studies that provide concepts and approaches for adopting Green ICT within the company, still it is necessary to create a framework, which provides concrete steps to implement Green ICT in the organization. This short article will discuss the background of the emergence of the concept of Green ICT, as well as the motivation of what drives organizations to adopt Green ICT in their companies. I’ll share to you this idea to build awareness about Green ICT, and also simple examples that can be implemented in our daily activity.

Challenge the use of ICT systems would not only in terms of cost, but also the impact on the environment. The increase of electricity cost and company awareness to manage the environment better, be part of the reason for the company to find strategies to reduce the cost of electrical energy consumption in their ICT systems, as well as make the system become more friendly to the environment (Hodges and White, 2008). The fact that the ICT system has a direct adverse impact on the environment can not be avoided, but on the other hand, ICT systems have become part of a modern society that certainly can not be granted or terminated. The adverse impact is increasing the carbon emissions from the use of ICT equipment. So that it appears a variety of ideas for innovation and development of various elements of ICT systems that have minimal impact on the environment. Various ways and this approach are then known as the Green ICT (Banerjee et al, 2013).

The main impact of ICT systems is arising from the use of ICT systems, and from ICT equipment garbage that has not been used anymore (Alena & Libor, 2012). The impact of the use of ICT is the carbon footprint generated from electricity consumption. So that one of the main goals of Green ICT is to provide solutions for companies in reducing the cost of electricity consumption, and also help reduce carbon emissions that adversely affect the environment (Murugesan et al, 2013). Currently, the carbon emissions from ICT infrastructure and systems still accounts for about 2-3% of the causes of greenhouse gas emissions as a whole (Gardner, 2007 in Banerjee et al, 2013, Suryawanshi & Narkhede, 2013). However, if not controlled, the carbon footprint will be able to increase with the increased adoption of ICT in all aspects of life, especially in developing countries. Even the technological innovation of ICT such as cloud computing and data center also has the potential to contribute this risk increases in carbon emissions (Murugesan et al, 2013). Increasing the number and size of the data center and cloud computing development is triggered by a variety of business processes and applications that can be accessed using the Internet media. Besides appearing latest servers that use multiple processors, so that accounts for more power. The heat generated by these processors, demanding cooling system work harder, so it will add electrical energy consumption significantly. The second impact of ICT systems is the problem of waste disposal of ICT equipment that is not reused. Electronic components and chemicals from the equipment will pollute the environment and are not easy to be recycled. Neither the impact of carbon emissions and waste problems is what makes the concept of Green ICT is very significant to immediately apply (Alena & Libor, 2012).

Here are the simple stephs using Green ICT in our daily activity.
Recycle and Reuse
Each company has a regular schedule to perform the replacement of ICT components (hardware or software). Replacement is done periodically, or wait until the condition of these components can not be reused, or can no longer meet the needs of the company. But sometimes the replacement is done too quickly, especially for software, because the speed out the latest software version. To overcome this, then during the process of updating the system (hardware and software) can be considered to not do a whole replacement. Eg by maintaining hardware can still function properly, and the software still has the support of the vendor.

Disposal of ICT System
At the end of the ICT equipment will be disposed of when physically been damaged or have been unable to function. Thus need to be considered garbage disposal due to ICT systems (electronic waste or e-waste). In order not to pollute the environment then the garbage can be sent to the e-waste management company.

Printing and Consumables
The printer is the amount of equipment that is widely used in the enterprise, uses the electric power inefficient, because when idle, the printer still uses power. In addition, the printer also uses paper and ink, which in the manufacture of paper and ink have an impact on the environment. And waste paper and ink to give a bad impact on the environment too. There needs to be setting the number of the printer (printer sharing mechanism), paper consumption wisely, and distribution of data in softcopy can reduce this risk.

I hope this short article about Green ICT can build our awareness to use ICT more wisely. GBU.
