Not only in big cities, national development must now be carried out in dissemination throughout Indonesia, including in remote villages that may still be lagging behind in terms of information and technology. To prevent underdevelopment in rural areas, the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) for 2020-2024 makes Smart Villages or Smart Villages one of the National Priority Programs that need to be realized. Therefore, PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk as a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) contributes to realizing Smart Villages in various remote villages in the country. Telkom's Real Steps to Realize Smart VillageIn order to create an independent and productive village, Telkom created Smart Village Nusantara (SVN) by connecting every entity in the village with a digital ecosystem to improve village government services, the economy, and the welfare of its citizens. SVN has four pillars that will be used as a reference to give birth to Smart Village, including smart infrastructure, smart governance, smart economy, and smart society. These four pillars will later be scaled according to the needs of each village. Based on the four pillars above, here are SVN's steps to realize a Smart and Independent Village:1. Internet Connectivity and ICT Supporting InfrastructureSVN provides internet access and supporting infrastructure for information and communication technology (ICT) as basic requirements for digital village development. The presence of internet access is one of the important aspects to transform a village into a digital village and towards a Smart Village. 2. Utilization of ICT in Village GovernanceThe presence of ICT within the scope of Village Governance can improve and optimize public administration, public services, and village development. The use of ICT in Village Governance needs to go through several stages, including planning, implementing, supervising, and evaluating development. 3. Developing Village Digital LiteracyThe use of ICT within the village scope can encourage public interest in digital literacy. This can be evidenced by the increasing use of messenger applications to communicate, as well as digitalization in aspects of social and commercial governance of villages. 4. Utilization of ICT in Various Aspects of Village LifeThe use of ICT will be carried out in various aspects of the lives of rural communities. Thus, the competitiveness of the village, the process of village development, and the development of the superior potential of the village can be improved. At this stage, village data can be integrated for big data analytics so that useful insights or information will appear to develop the village. Telkom Enterprise & Business Director Edi Witjara stated that SVN is a form of Telkom's support to the Indonesian government in order to explore the potential that exists in villages. "Through Smart Village Nusantara, Telkom is here to support the development of a digital village ecosystem for a sustainable village economy. It is hoped that in the future people in the village will have better digital adoption and are accustomed to using digital technology to support their various activities," said Edi. The same thing was also expressed by Budi Arie Setiadi as Deputy of the Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration. According to him, the village is the future of the Indonesian nation whose potential needs to be explored. "Villages are the future of Indonesia. Indonesia's three main sectors are unbeatable from other countries, namely agriculture, fisheries, and tourism. Of course, villages that have these three advantages must be maximized, built and raised together," he said.Smart Village Nusantara Service Products for Village CommunitiesThe products presented by SVN can also be enjoyed directly by villagers.

Simplify the distribution of Dima Group productsSince 2010, Dima Group has trusted BOSNET to present distribution systems and information technology (IT) to support the distribution process of their products. Before entrusting its distribution process and IT system to BOSNET, Dima Group found it difficult with its previously owned system. They admit that they have difficulty in selling their products to the modern market. In addition, the sales route is also carried out manually. Not to mention, mistakes often occur when determining the selling price of products and making the sales process ineffective. The presence of BOSNET with its various features such as back office and mobile applications that have been integrated with the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) backend system, can help Dima Group to process information from the transaction level to strategically. As a result, the retail sales of Dima Group's products have doubled!"The use of BOSNET for the distribution system is very flexible, because many foreign companies do not cover Dima distribution, for example the bargaining system or the ability to change prices that cannot be changed," said Setio Benny Irawan, manager of Dima Group IT Company."With BOSNET, the process of distributing goods and planning routes for salesmen is very easy. The use of BOSNET also had a significant impact and doubled Dima's retail business. This can happen because it is recorded and systemized neatly," continued Benny. BOSNET by Telkom Indonesia will continue to develop new innovative and integrated technologies so that it can help the smooth distribution process throughout Indonesia.
