Why Embracing Cloud Services is a Winning Solution for Businesses

Organizations worldwide are accelerating their digital transformation. From corporations to governments, the primary driver is the adoption of cloud services. For many, this move began long before the COVID-19 pandemic. The cloud market is now over a decade old.

‍

Asian companies are well aware of this shift. The Asia-Pacific region is projected to become the largest continental economy. In recent years, cloud technology has been widely embraced here.

‍

Regional Adoption Trends:

• Developed economies like Australia, China, Singapore, and Taiwan see cloud services as the norm.
• Emerging Asian markets have previously lagged behind.
• Recently, the pandemic has forced a significant improvement in adoption across these markets.

‍

Indonesia is a prime example. It is a rapidly growing market projected to be the fifth-largest economy by GDP. However, it ranks only twelfth on the Cloud Readiness Index. To compete globally, cloud adoption is now a necessity for local companies.

Why is Indonesia lagging behind in adopting cloud services?

A lack of control

• Cloud facilities are operated by third-party providers.
• Companies lack control over the physical servers.
• Operations are hampered if servers go down for maintenance.
• "Provider lock-in" often prevents companies from switching vendors.

‍

A lack of ICT and cloud specialists

• Most internal IT teams focus on maintaining local hardware.
• There is a widespread lack of knowledge regarding cloud implementation.

‍

Slow and unreliable internet connections

• Regional areas often lack high-speed internet.
• Existing services are often too slow to support remote work.

‍

Mindset

• Many still believe on-premises software is cheaper and more secure.
• There is resistance to subscription-based, cloud-hosted models.

‍

Data localisation law

• Law GR 82 mandates that companies store data locally.
• This makes enterprises highly selective about their cloud providers.
• Providers must have physical data centres within Indonesia to comply.
