Digital transformation has now become a common topic of conversation in the business sector. Not only startups or fintech activists but also corporations, both private and state-owned enterprises, have started applying digitalization migration to their business systems to survive amid the current economic recession that hit Indonesia due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Go-Jek may be an example of an Indonesian company that has been economically impacted by the Covid-19, but thanks to its technology planning that has applied Cloud Computing from the start, its business is able to survive with 1 million partners in 167 districts.

Go-Jeks Cloud Computing has an important role in sending pings to all driver partners every 10 seconds, which means 6 million pings per minute and 8 billion pings daily, plus customers’ interaction generating 4TB to 5TB of data every day. They should use this data to inform drivers about which areas need service most and how to get there.

Besides that, cloud computing also plays a major role as a facilitator in the incubation process for national industrial startups which continues to strive to create innovation in the midst of industry 4.0. Thanks to the support of cloud infrastructure, for example, INDIGO as a digital startup accelerator assisted by Telkom Indonesia can realize digital sector business programs and innovations starting from the pre-incubation and implementation stages to funding which, of course, implements cloud technology.

Cloud Investment to Sustain Business

To get maximum performance, Cloud Computing will involve the implementation of several sets of servers that can be controlled remotely by a network application, which processes a data storage location or storage, and which can be accessed simultaneously through a single online dashboard.

Cloud solutions can facilitate actionable and executable data automatically. Automated execution can have an impact on improving overall operational efficiency because transparent and flexible information management also support faster decision making in crisis management for business resilience.

Local Cloud Providers Are No Less Sophisticated!

Seeing the high potential for digitizing the domestic business sector, Telkomsigma as a local cloud service provider (CSP) is increasingly plays more serious roles for multi-segment industries from the corporate sector, startups and fintech to MSMEs with a national scope.
