1.1 Background
The term e-business was first introducedby Lou Gerstner, CEO of IBM. This term, can be
translated as business activities that are carried out automatically and semi-automatically using
computer information systems. E-business allows a company to deal with their internal and
external data processing systems more efficiently and flexibly.
Iptaria (2006) states that the e-business phenomenon has become a trend that colors
business activities in developed and developing countries. This is because its existence can make
business processes and systems better than the previous (conventional) methods.
Tarigan (2006) stated that since mid-2002, Indonesian businessmen believe that the use
of e-business can improve company performance, especially those related to efforts to streamline
operational performance. Research conducted by Warta Ekonomi shows that 54.2% of
companies that are respondents have implemented various e-business applications, including:
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Customer
Relationship Management (CRM). As many as 78.8% of the companies that were sampled in the
study stated that the use of e-business solutions could increase company productivity.
Telkomsel is a company engaged in telecommunications services in Indonesia. In 2002,
the company was awarded the E-Company Award for the category of telecommunication
company in the best use of e-business applications. This encourages the author to conduct an
analysis of the application of e-business applications in the company.
The picture shows that the company does not use traditional business functions or only supports
the company's internal business processes, but focuses on improving business processes with
customers, suppliers, partners, and stakeholders. ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) focuses on
the company's internal production. CRM(Customer Relationship Management) focuses on
obtaining and retaining potential customers, through marketing, sales, and service processes.
PRM (Partner Relationship Management) to obtain and retain business partners who are able to
increase sales and distribution of the company's products and services. SCM (Supply Chain
Management) focuses on developing effective and efficient product and service processes
required by businesses.
CHAPTER III
COMPANY PROFILE
2. Reduce costs
Many companies report a significant reduction in transaction, software, and IT staff
costs after using ERP compared to when using an unintegrated legacy system.
Telkomsel has departments spread across several regions. The existence of ERP
allows sending reports in Telkomsel to be faster without being influenced by location,
thereby reducing transportation costs and time.
3. Decision Support
ERP provides cross functional information quickly to managers, so they can improve
their decision-making abilities for the better.
ERP provides data faster because of the integration in several parts of the company.
This causes the decision-making process to be faster, for example: Decisions
regarding working capital based on data on the amount of employee salary payments
4. Enterprise agility
ERP implementation causes the organizational structure to become more flexible, as
well as managerial obligations and information resources. This causes the
organization to be more adaptive.
Telkomsel's ERP system integrates data from several company departments, making
it easier to share information, be it salary payments, sales revenue, etc.
b. Collaborative manufacturing
The company is able to carry out planning and scheduling based on resources, raw
materials, and other things that affect it.
c. Collaborative fulfillment
Commit to delivery dates in real time
The company is able to monitor the products that have been distributed to
AD partners (Authorized Daeler) in each POD. Data collection on the
number of products taken and the time can be obtained in real time.
Provide orders from various channels in a timely manner through the
implementation of order management.
The company is able to ensure the availability of goods needed by each
AD partner in a timely manner by scheduling production and ensuring the
resource requirements for production, be it labor, cards, or packaging.
Support the entire logistics process, including pick-up, packaging and
shipping.
Telkomsel sends all its products through PT POS Indonesia every
Wednesday, on that day the entire system has been prepared and all
interested parties will participate in monitoring, be it AD partners, branch
offices, and head office.
d. Supply chain management
Monitor every step in the supply chain process, from price to when the
customer receives the product, and provide alerts when problems occur.
The system allows for monitoring every step in the supply chain, starting
from the procurement of raw materials, production, to the distribution
process.
e. Supply chain performance management
Provides reports from the supply chain, such as filling rate, order cycle
times, and capacity utilization.
The company is able to get reports on distribution orders, order cycle
times, and others which are usually reported at the end of each month,
CRM software makes it easy for Telkomsel to provide attractive offers to customers with
certain criteria, for example based on ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) or average
telephone usage in 1 month. In general, the telemarketing department will contact
customers with ARPU criteria > 500,000 to offer HALO card numbers, flash,
blackberries, and iPhone installments.
c. Marketing & Fulfillment
The CRM system helps the marketing department to carry out direct marketing activities,
as well as store response data from customers for offers made.
PT Telkomsel stores data from telemarketing results in the form of customer responses
which will make it easier for the company to connect with the customer concerned in the
future, For example: Customers do not need internet applications because they already
have them from other operators.
If the call center section is having difficulty handling customer complaints or serving
customer requests for product information, it can be assisted through this system, which
provides data on product information, HP trauble shooting, blackberry problems, etc.
other than that
2. Capture and identify knowledge that is considered valuable and represented logically.
Every quarter, Telkomsel evaluates the job performance of each employee according
to their job description. The results of this assessment will be inputted by superiors
(minimum supervisor level) through HRIS (Human Resources Management). Based
on this, the human resource management will plan the types of training needed by
employees to improve their abilities.
3. Placement of new knowledge in a format that is easily accessible to all employees and
officials.
Telkomsel provides e-learning applications that make it easier for employees spread
throughout Indonesia to conduct training without any time and place restrictions. In
addition, an internal website is also provided, such as Warta Halo which allows
employees to find out in more detail about the services or products issued by the
company.
5. The knowledge format provided on the portal is a user friendly format so that all
employees can access and develop it at any time.
To ensure that the format provided through the internal portal is user friendly, the
company conducts a survey through its internal website to all employees. This
activity is usually carried out once a year.
5.1 Conclusion
E-Business provide the foundation for the development of a cross functional enterprise
system, as a strategy to use information technology to share information sources and improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of business processes and develop a strategy of connectivity
between customers, suppliers, and business partners.
Cross-functional enterprise application able to develop relationships with customers,
suppliers, and business partners This makes it the foundation for the development of Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship
Management (CRM), Knowledge Management, and Partner Relationship Management (PRM) .
Tight competition in the telecommunications business has caused Telkomsel to
implement a cross functional enterprise system which is the foundation of the implementation of
ERP, SCM, CRM, PRM, and Knowledge Management, each of which has connections with
customers, suppliers, and business partners. It is hoped that this implementation will be able to
increase the company's competitiveness.
5.2 Suggestion
The suggestions from writing this paper are:
1. Telkomsel should add a production planning module in its ERP.
2. The large number of prepaid customers makes it difficult for companies to carry out
retention programs, because the databases filled in by customers are often invalid.
This causes the company to need to build an aggressive program to build its customer
database.
