Get To Know Callin, The Application For WFH Made In Indonesia

YOGYAKARTA - The Covid-19 pandemic which began in early 2020 introduced many things to humans. On the one hand, about a deadly virus that can attack anyone regardless of background or social class. On the other hand, how quickly humans adapt to new conditions.

The speed of adaptation has been made easier thanks to technological developments. Now, various activities, to productive interests, can be completed through the application. Like communication that can be replaced by Zoom, Google Meet, or WhatsApp.

Thanks to the WFH (Work From Home) policy, various needs and jobs must be completed through the medium of technology. Until now, G Suite services are still one of the main choices. This service package from Google offers more than 14 types of services that will facilitate office activities.

Starting from word processing services, data, presentation slides, to communication services such as electronic mail, voice-mail, video conferencing, and many more. Those are just a few examples of the total services this tech giant has to offer.

When the author finds out that there is one Made in Indonesia product that provides this service, of course it is fresh news, plus a sense of pride in the work of the nation's children.

The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Digital Security Indonesia, Didik Irawan, said that the idea to create the Callin application actually existed long before the pandemic. Emerged from his assessment that WFH will become a new habit when technology gets closer to human activities.

“Pandemic conditions accelerated its development. So we decided to develop it quickly and launch it this year,” said Didik Irawan when met by the VOI team at his office, Yogyakarta, Tuesday, July 28.

According to this graduate from Gadjah Mada University, Callin is a form of solution for a more complete communication application. Which is able to support the activities of office and digital workers during WFH activities.

“For now, chat and teamwork applications are still dominated from outside. There is indeed a chat application from Indonesia. But, cooking is just for chatting, only. I still focus on the chat platform that supports work,” said Didik.

Therefore, continued Didik, the platform he made wants to be a substitute for virtual office services made by outsiders. Thus, the embedded features and services have been adjusted to support these needs.

Didik said that previously Digital Security Indonesia was a technology company engaged in data security. Therefore, according to him, data security is one of the important focuses of this application.

"We made this Callin application using data security principles, yes. From the coding side, the encryption algorithm used. Because lately it's been a chat or teamwork application, the issue of encryption has really become a special concern," said Didik

Using end-to-end encryption, just like the encryption technology used by WhatsApp, Didik promises that the Calllink application is more secure. Moreover, every user data is stored through a server that has been prepared and managed by his party and is located in Indonesia.

This means that users don't have to worry about third-party interference. You see, the entire security system has been managed and supervised by developer technicians who are on full alert.

Emerging in the midst of a growing need for WFH, Callin can be a solution when people want to get services that are safe and also stored in the country. Moreover, according to Cisco research that was shared earlier this year, the security of personal data is a challenge in itself during the pandemic.

Using the tagline “The Ultimate Teamwork Messenger”, the Callin application is equipped with a number of features that promise comfort when working. Citing the official Calllink website, the available services include easy-to-use chat, sharing of information channels in the form of private and public channels, Threads that allow users to track messages with specific themes, and high-speed file delivery.

In addition, Calllink also provides convenience for users to edit messages in certain formats. Not to forget, the application for WFH is also equipped with voice and video calling services.

Based on the author's test results, Callin's video calling service is one of the most interesting features. How not, you can get free high-resolution video calls! In addition, there is also a video conferencing option that will not reduce the resolution.

Fortunately, this application can be accessed through various platforms. Available in Android and iOS application versions, Windows, MacOS, Linux, and can also be accessed via the website version. So, it can be adjusted to the needs and capabilities of the user's device.

“Every month we always make updates. In the future, we will add more features and services which will certainly facilitate WFH activities in Indonesia," concluded Didik.
