Abstract: This research aims at seeing the improvement a
quality of services through information system model of academic
service based on customer relationship management (CRM) at
university. This research is a part of developing research through
a research and development ADDIE model that consists of
Analyze, doing needs analysis and literature review. Design,
determining the purposes of model design and describing each
components of model. Develop, developing products and focusing
on group discussion and experts’ reviews. Implement practicality
test and effectively test. And Evaluate. This research only focuses
on implementing, along with applying an information system
model of academic service based on CRM at university. Subject of
this research is Universitas Dharmas Indonesia, Sumatera Barat.
Hypothesis testing done on this research is through Wilcoxon
testing, because the data got is not normal distributed. Based on
analysis result, it can be known that sig = 0,000 < 0,05. It can be
said that Ha is rejected. Therefore, a quality of services towards
students before and after applying the information system model
of academic service based on CRM at university a significant
improvement. Even this model is only implemented at one
university, yet based on analysis result, this model can be
implemented to other universities because it is flexible and

principle, the quality of services focuses on fulfill customers’
needs and there is a determination to give the services based
on customers’ hopes. If the principle is applied on services at
university, thus it will be a service at university dynamically
and flexibility.
One of the criteria that determines the quality of Higher
Education based on the Decree of the Republic of Indonesia
Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education
concerning the classification and ranking of universities in
Indonesia in 2015 is the quality of management. Management
of higher education should be held flexible and dynamically
so that to enable each university to develop based on their
respective potential. The aim of management objectives is
productivity and satisfaction [4]. The satisfaction can be seen
from quality services to customers [2]. At Higher Education,
students are the main customers [5], [6]. The academic
success of future higher education depends on the ability of
institutions to communicate with students to fulfill their needs
[7]. Thus, the importance of a flexible and dynamic academic
service, based on students’ needs of students as the main
customers at Higher Education.
The important things of academic services are as follows: it
can provide information for students, especially prospective
students (activities, costs, schedules, reputation and number
of students per class). Then, it can help students to make
decisions by understanding the needs and guidance of student
learning, the system is supported with the existence of an
information center (technical support or call center), good
time management, having services (academic guidance,
learning, information and others), having support from digital
library services, and career counseling services [8].
Some results of the study state that there are several problems
in academic services such as: lack of access to academic
information which caused students to be reluctant to ask
questions [9], Then. lack of information for stakeholders in
marketing and promotion decision making [1], lack of
information about universities for prospective students [10],
and the number of college graduates who cannot find work
according to their competencies [11]. Based on preliminary
studies and some of the results of the above research, it can be
said that a flexible and dynamic academic service information
system model in universities is needed, so that it has a positive
impact on the quality of academic services in Higher
Education.
