Analysis of the effectiveness of using the Sakti application at the Center for Global Health Policy and Health Technology

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the SAKTI application as an integrated tool for managing state finances. It focuses on the challenges encountered during the transition to the SAKTI application at the Center for Global Health Policy and Health Technology Work Unit.

Methods: The researchers employed a descriptive qualitative research method to gain in-depth insights into the perceptions and behaviors of the center's participants, using clear and accessible language.

Findings: The findings indicate that the SAKTI application offers several benefits: 1. It enhances convenience and efficiency in financial management, particularly in preparing financial reports at the Center for Global Health Policy and Health Technology (KGTK). 2. Real-Time Data Integration allows real-time data recording, providing visibility into budget positions and facilitating effective monitoring of budget allocations and realizations without manual reconciliation. 3. It streamlines the tax input process, improving tax management efficiency. However, it also faces challenges related to server capacity, with frequent maintenance and outages, along with insufficient internet bandwidth, which hinders inputting financial realizations and managing budgets on the SAKTI application platform.

Practical Implications: The study suggests that stakeholders and decision-makers at the Center for Global Health Policy and Health Technology should prioritize addressing the technical challenges associated with the SAKTI application. Improving server capacity and internet connectivity is essential to fully leveraging the application's capabilities.
