JAKARTA - Makassar is ready to jump further. The entire information technology system in this city will be overhauled. Including its programs to realize a new concept called Makassar Metaverse.

"I want to prepare the most basic first, namely reformatting IT infrastructure or social media information at the Makassar City Government, both officially, stately and personally," said Makassar Mayor Moh Ramdhan Pomanto, Friday, March 11, quoted from Antara.

The man who is usually called Danny Pomanto said that next week's Rakorsus will be the beginning of Makassar's information technology transformation system with a metaverse.

In literature, Metaverse which has another name metauniverse, metamesta, or metaversum is the internet part of a shared virtual reality that is made as close as possible to the real world in the second stage of the internet.

According to Danny, the Makassar Metaverse is a continuation of the previous program, namely Sombere and Smartcity, by combining local wisdom with current advances in information technology.

"Makassar to Metaverse City is a continuation of Sombere and Smartcity, which makes it easier to socialize the program. All programs are useful, not transactional, as a form of introduction we take positioning there, called Makaverse or Makassar Metaverse," he said.

He introduced a program using technology such as augmented reality which is said to have the advantage of helping interaction and facilitating the absorption of information displayed in cyberspace.

"This technology is very useful and can be used in all fields. We will live in the future, all will turn to technology. We can use it in all fields, in tourism, it can also be in education," he explained.

The rapid development of technology, said Danny, requires good adaptability. Makassar City already has a foundation, namely by implementing the Sombere and Smartcity system.

To maximize this, said Danny, requires good coordination, especially within the Makassar City Government. Therefore, during Pre-Rakosus 3 Danny Pomanto left several messages to improve the existing Smartcity system.

"It is necessary to fix the official SKPD website as soon as possible and update it regularly through their respective social media accounts," said Danny.

Not only that, every ASN within the Makassar City Government according to their main duties and functions must take an initiative to become a problem solver who is present to provide solutions to every citizen's problems.
