BATIC 2023, a Moment for Telkom to Advocate Business Transformation

Telkom emerged as a leading telecommunications company at the Bali Annual Telkom International Conference (BATIC) 2023, held in Nusa Dua, Bali, on 5-8 September 2023. This eighth edition of the international event was attended by 1,000 participants from 300 global companies representing 40 countries.

Telkom emphasized the importance of business transformation. Honesti Basyir, Director of Group Business Development at Telkom, stated that the company is now adhering to a strategy known as the "five bold moves," comprising InfraCo, Data CenterCo, DigiCo, B2B Digital IT Service Co, and Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC).

"The five bold moves strategy aligns with global trends to anticipate the conditions of the Indonesian telecommunications market. This strategy places a focus on digital connectivity, digital platforms, and digital services," Honesti said in a written statement.

One of the steps related to FMC is the decision by PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. to shift its focus to the business-to-business (B2B) segment. This was achieved by transferring the IndiHome internet service to Telkomsel.

Meanwhile, Bogi Witjaksono, Director of Wholesale and International Services at Telkom, emphasized that the company's shift towards the B2B segment is motivated by a belief in the long-term potential of this business segment.

Bogi explained that the B2B segment may not be as substantial as the business-to-consumer (B2C) segment. However, B2B serves as an enabler for broader B2C development.

"B2B is an enabler for other businesses and contributes to the sustainability of B2C," Bogi stated.

In reality, the telecommunications industry holds significant potential to drive digital transformation. Achieving this requires collaboration and cooperation to provide reliable infrastructure.
