Abstract
Information technology pushes the fourth Industrial revolution in form of physically cyber system which connected each other in smart automation system. Business and industry have adopted new technology to increase their competitiveness, on the other side HEIs are left behind in adopting technologies. The aim of this study is to assess HEIs’ readiness in adopting technology for IQAS implementation. Data used in this study consist of primary data in form of interview and observations method, participated by HEIs in West Sumatera, and secondary data from HEI’s profile and accreditation results. This study using Technometric Model and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach in assessing the technology level. Technometrics model used to measure the contribution of technology components, namely Technoware, Humanware Inforware, and Orgaware. These four components used to measure technology contribution coefficient (TCC). The TCC classification is used as a basis to asses HEIs readiness. The results are presented by radar chart with 4 axes of THIO diagram based on institution type, ownership, area, and accreditation. Technoware in most of HEIs is ready. Whereas the forward is not yet ready. Infowars development requires organization involvement, through leadership commitment. Humanware needs to be improved first to support inforware and orgaware development.
