Major Trends Shaping the Indonesian Market
The Indonesian Cloud Computing market is still very much in the nascent stage.
This is primarily due to the lack of infrastructure with regards to internet connectivity and availability. Internet
penetration outside of the capital city of Jakarta is mainly by means of wireless connectivity and lacks the capacity
of a fully fledged broadband connection.
However it is expected that with maturity of service offerings, enterprises would be keener to move some of their
IT spend to Cloud.
It is expected that Indonesian enterprises, while taking time to adopt SaaS technology, might not go through the
adoption stages that most of the developed world is experiencing - mainly the adoption of non-core applications
and migrate all applications together.
Furthermore, the trend, over a long term, may lead to adoption of PaaS over SaaS to build in enterprise specific
applications and functionality.
The entry of global participants, and their marketing initiatives in the form of conferences and road shows, provide
the right opportunity for domestic enterprises to get a better understanding of Cloud Computing. This is expected
to drive awareness levels and adoption in the long term.
However, enterprises continue to remain skeptical of Cloud adoption due to Security and Privacy concerns. This,
along with the low reliability of broadband internet in the country, is hampering adoption.
25
Trend # 4: Increasing Demand has Led to Entry of Global Market
Participants
The Indonesian Cloud Computing market has been witnessing increasing traction from local
enterprises as they learn more and more about the delivery model and the opportunity to
decrease costs and bring in efficiencies.
Furthermore, the foreign investments in the Telecom sector and the expansion plans of local
players into the Broadband Wireless Access has attracted the attention of the global players,
such as Google, Amazon, NetSuite, Salesforce, RightNow, Oracle and Zoho have entered
the Indonesian market, primarily through channel partners.
These participants currently hold a large share of the market with limited offerings from local
service providers.
In terms of user segments, Manufacturing dominates the adoption level across verticals in
Indonesia. Further, the SMBs and Large Businesses contributed almost equally to the
market in 2010, a trend which is expected to continue in the medium term.

RIM- Blackberry
The company is in the process of expanding the capabilities of its BlackBerry Enterprise Server
(BES) to offer a cloud-based version, and to allow partners to offer their own customized BES
services
Research In Motion VP Pete Devenyi said in an interview the company wouldnt be offering a
complete feature set of services in cloud versions, rather, leaving partners to tailor their own
services with different features
Partners could even provide their own in house built services, such as e-mail services, that
could be integrated with their cloud-based BlackBerry Enterprise Server offerings

Key Points you need to remember about cloud
1. Focus on Business: Cloud computing saves companies from being bogged down by day-to-day
IT related issues and focus on strategic issues.
2. Agility: Cloud computing lets the enterprise pay for exact amount of computing/storage
requirements they need and scale up or down very fast. This reduces cost and lets them
respond to business needs fast.
3. Cost Saving: Shifting to cloud saves 10% to 50% of current hardware & manpower costs for the
companies (even compared to servers hosted at datacenters).
4. Technology Edge: Cloud computing keeps the enterprise on latest technology with hardware
being replaced every 2 years. This allows enterprise to create IT based competitive
advantages.
5. Uniform Access: Cloud computing gives similar access of resources to employees across
locations.

Start-up improves network efficiency and reduces costs by
30-40%
The use of cloud technology has given us the competitive edge that
helps us to innovate quickly, says Padmaraju.
Charan Padmaraju
Co-founder and CTO
Challenge
The company started facing scalability challenges in using
the traditional data centers. Procuring a new server or
upgrading an existing one took more than two weeks.
Limited server capacity affected productivity as it could not
manage processing fluctuations.
Solution
redBus has built its ticketing system and its SaaS offering on the Amazon Cloud
hosted in their Singapore data center which offers Storage as well as Compute
services. All redBus applications, including the mission critical ones are on the
AWS cloud.
Impact
The traffic to redBus has increased 3 folds due to reduced latency during peak
hour.
It has led to a cost benefit of about 30-40%.
61
