We are extremely glad to have been mentioned in Nikkei Asia’s recent interview with NUS President Tan Eng Chye regarding NUS’ initiatives to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus.
uNivUS, the application developed by NUS IT which allows for a host of features such as temperature and travel declaration and NUSafe, was commended by Nikkei Asia as one of the innovative tech measures used by NUS in the fight against the pandemic.
Our very own Chief IT Officer, Tan Shui-Min, drove the NUS-SMU collaborative effort with the industry to spearhead the use of Wi-Fi information for Contact Tracing on campus as underscored in the article.
Thank you to Nikkei Asia and our teams who worked expediently to develop these solutions!

On the 22nd of July, Mr Rikky Purbojati, who heads Research Computing at NUS IT, was invited to participate in GovInsider’s webinar titled “Supercharging e-government with the cloud” (held in partnership with SailPoint and Accenture). ☁️💻💡
Alongside other panellists and speakers, Rikky shared insights on data management by governments and public institutions using the cloud. He highlighted how a holistic data framework is required as a tool in the optimisation of digital government services. Also, he raised a valuable point about the many applications that are often used in silo, which may complicate the end user experience – particularly for those who are not as data-literate.
Congratulations to Rikky and the other amazing panellists for their enriching sharing! Thank you Govinsider! 👏

Did you know that NUS IT (previously known as NUS Computer Centre) was the birthplace of the Internet in Singapore all the way back in 1990? 🤯
While the Internet in Singapore was largely and publicly made available through the telco SingTel back in 1994, the technology behind it was in fact, implemented and made possible through the effort of many in NUS. 👏🤩
