Summary Loud and clear !
Following are the key points to remember about cloud services.

1. Clear Definitions: Cloud services refer to rapidly scalable, on-demand services delivered
through standard internet protocols, where customers need to pay exactly what they use.
Significant cost savings are achieved through sharing hardware & IT resources across the client
base.

2. Types of Cloud Services: Software-as-a-Service (software or application), Infrastructure-as-a-


Service (storage & computing), and Platform-as-a-Service (software delivery platform).

3. Deployments models: Cloud can be implemented as a private cloud (dedicated to a single


organization), community cloud (dedicated to a community of organizations) or Public Cloud
(shared across all customers).

Major Trends Shaping the Indonesian Market

Trend # 1: Nascent 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.

Trend # 2: Shift in Adoption Pattern

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.

Trend # 3: Increasing Awareness

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.

Vertical Specific Requirements
Additional factors of Cloud adoption specific to key verticals:

Vertical Reasons of Adoption

To gain access to flexible IT resources and information at a reduced cost.


(Cost Reduction)
To focus on core competency eliminating the need to maintain a set of
Manufacturing hardware distributed in various locations (IT Automation & focus on core
competency).
To meet seasonal fluctuations in requirements due to fluctuations in
demand (enhanced scalability & business responsiveness).

To meet the rapidly increasing infrastructure requirements (enhanced


Telecom and IT scalability).
To meet the unexpected spikes in demand (business responsiveness)

To meet the ever increasing needs to process and store customer data
BFSI (enhanced scalability)
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity (Regulatory Compliance)

To create a common pool of resources across ministries and


departments (enhanced efficiency & cost reduction)
Government
To offer more easily accessible and efficient eGovernance services
(Uniform Access).

60
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

Qualification Factors

Is the target company looking to replace some of the existing hardware (hardware
refresh) or going to expand/shift its servers hosted at datacenter ?

Does the enterprise have significant capacity at datacenters?

Is the company one of the leaders in adopting new technology?

Does the company belong to one of the verticals most likely to use cloud services (IT &
Telecom, Manufacturing, BFSI)?

Is the CEO actively involved in IT related decision making.

Have your contacts in the account shown concern with the IT budget?

Have your contacts in the account shown concern about managing peak loads?

Have your contacts in the account shown concern with hiring & managing IT
manpower?
