Indosat  Ooredoo  and  Google  Cloud announced a new strategic partnership to accelerate digital transformation across consumer and enterprise segments in Indo-nesia.  

Strongly  aligned  to  the  Indonesian government’s digital economy development program goals,  the  multi-faceted  part-nership  will  serve  Indonesia’s  SMBs as a priority target segment and spans many areas that are core  to  the  capabilities  of  both  organizations.

“We understand the signif-icant  impact  the  pandemic  is  having on our nation’s SMB com-munity and this partnership will deliver  new  and  outstanding  digital products and services that these businesses need to thrive. Through this partnership, Indosat Ooredoo  will  offer  SMBs  new  cloud-based,  and  5G  enabled  digital solutions designed that will empower new business models and  enable  them  to  tap  new  markets and opportunities that would  not  have  been  possible  before. We look forward to a long and  fruitful  relationship  with  Google that will accelerate digi-talization among SMBs and Indo-nesia’s  transformation  into  a  digital  society,”  said  Ahmad  Al  Neama, President Director and CEO of Indosat Ooredoo

The  pillars  of  the  strategic  partnership  will  see  the  two  organizations working jointly to:

Digitally transform Indone-sia’s SMBs across their business lifecycles ‒ Indosat Ooredoo and Google Cloud will create a mar-ketplace of tailored software-as-a-service offerings with a goal of fully digitizing SMBs from the day they register their businesses and at every stage of their business journeys.

Digitally transform enter-prises and communities with the power of 5G ‒ Together, the two organizations will build a port-folio of 5G edge computing solu-tions that bring together Indosat Ooredoo’s   network,   Google   Cloud’s leading technologies, and edge  computing  to  help  enter-prises address real business chal-lenges across industries.

Digitally transform Indosat Ooredoo’s own operations ‒ To continue on its own path to inno-vation  and  build  a  cloud-first  organization,  Indosat Ooredoo  will modernize its infrastructure and applications on Google Cloud.

“The key to delivering next-generation applications and creating new customer experiences with  Indosat  Ooredoo  is  our  shared  culture  of  innovation.  We’re  excited  to  work  with  Indosat Ooredoo to help digitize businesses of all sizes in Indonesia and help the company create new engines for long-term innovation and  growth,”  said  Rob  Enslin,  President, Google Cloud
