share on

Telkomsel has partnered with Microsoft to implement the latest technologies that will enable outlying regions in Indonesia access to enhanced connectivity and solutions similar to that in major cities. Both parties will also promote marketing and communications activities on IT solutions to increase market influence and provide customers with added value.

The partnership leverages the telco's innovations in its private LTE network offerings and upcoming 5G network, allowing geographically widespread network infrastructure to provide closer data processing to decision makers as well as new, customised technology solutions in outlying regions. It also strengthens Telkomsel's focus on the enterprise segment.

Through this collaboration, Telkomsel will develop key digital enterprise solutions that utilise Microsoft's technology platforms for the energy and manufacturing industries, offering capabilities such as internet of things, data hub, and AI. It will also adopt Microsoft solutions in its IT offering to its international, commercial and user sectors. Meanwhile, Microsoft will facilitate technical and sales empowerment, prepare development programmes, provide sales resources, and help Telkomsel improve its sales capabilities.

Telkomsel's CEO Setyanto Hantoro said the collaboration is in line with its commitment to continue moving forward accelerating the nation by ensuring equal network deployment and seamless access to the latest digital technology across Indonesia.

"We hope the collaboration between Telkomsel and Microsoft would improve competitiveness and quality of life in Indonesia while enhancing business performance through the implementation of an integrated digital technology," he added.

“In accordance with Microsoft's focus on digital transformation, we are collaborating to establish a pilot project on top of Telkomsel’s private LTE infrastructure with the implementation of Azure Stack Edge to support customers in remote areas who need internet connectivity and AI solutions,” Microsoft Indonesia president director, Haris Izmee, said.

Microsoft recently celebrated 25 years of operations in Indonesia by hosting its developer conference, //Dev Con/ Microsoft Indonesia Digital Economy Summit. The conference is done in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and Information.
