Oracle Academy welcomed educators and students from Diponegoro University (UNDIP), Computer Engineering study program — one of Indonesia’s premier public universities recognized for excellence in engineering, computing, and multidisciplinary research — to the Oracle Indonesia office for a successful Industry Visit Faculty Day on October 21, 2025.
The event built upon the participants’ prior completion of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Foundations I curriculum through Oracle Academy, connecting classroom knowledge with real-world applications in cloud, data, and AI. The program emphasized the importance of enterprise relevance, responsible innovation, and career readiness for the next generation of technology professionals.
The session began with opening remarks by Nurul Huda, Oracle Academy Manager, Southeast Asia, who outlined the Oracle Academy Cloud Program and the practical pathways available to students pursuing the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate certification.
Arif Afandi, Senior Sales Manager, Technology, Oracle Indonesia, took the stage to discuss actual implementations of artificial intelligence (AI) across diverse industries such as financial services, banking, and healthcare. He shared examples highlighting natural language search over financial data without writing SQL, streamlining document retrieval via Oracle Database 23ai within banking, and leveraging AI-driven diagnostics in healthcare. The session underscored the vital role of high-quality data, robust model governance, and enterprise-grade cloud services in delivering measurable, auditable results.
The session concluded with an engaging seminar led by Deny Nursidiq, Principal Technology Solution & Cloud Architect. Deny provided an integrated introduction to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), contemporary data science practices, modern data platform architectures, and the Oracle Autonomous Database. He demonstrated how OCI’s engineered security — including identity and access management, encryption, high availability, network segmentation, and observability — along with consistent, reliable performance, supports industry workloads. His overview of Oracle Autonomous Database showcased automated operations such as provisioning, patching, elastic scaling, and performance optimization, empowering businesses to innovate confidently.
The seminar demonstrated how representative production patterns — covering data ingestion and integration, object storage, streaming, warehousing, in-database analytics, and low-code development with Oracle APEX — are impacting sectors across society and shaping today’s technology-driven experiences.
By participating in this Industry Visit Faculty Day, UNDIP’s educators and students gained valuable insights and solidified their understanding of the critical role that OCI and Oracle Database 23ai play in shaping modern industry and preparing the workforce of the future.
