PT Helios Informatika Nusantara (Helios), an infrastructure, cloud, and digital solutions provider and subsidiary of the CTI Group, announced a strategic collaboration with Tencent Cloud, Tencent’s cloud business, to provide stable and secure cloud offerings for various industries in Indonesia, assisting businesses in overcoming challenges in their cloudification journey.
This cooperation is one of Helios’ efforts to optimize Indonesia’s digital journey, which has seen a considerable growth in cloud use across both enterprise-scale organizations and SMEs, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the fact that cloud technology has become ideal, Indonesian businesses continue to encounter a variety of problems in implementing their digital transformation.
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (PwC) survey “The Impact of Cloud Computing on the Indonesian Economy” in 2021, the several challenges faced by enterprise-scale businesses in Indonesia include talent availability (70 percent), implementation costs (60 percent), regulatory uncertainty and the need for a local data center (50 percent), and the need for a secure, easy-to-manage, and reliable cloud (40 percent). Meanwhile, the challenges experienced by SME businesses are the need for cloud usability, efficient costs, connectivity, and support.
Tencent Cloud, through Helios, provides end-to-end cloud solutions to help Indonesia’s digital development, particularly in the retail, media, and banking industries. The banking sector in Indonesia has switched to digital services, necessitating systems to manage huge amounts of consumer data. Tencent Cloud offers TDSQL, an enterprise-grade distributed cloud database that can help financial institutions like Bank Neo Commerce conduct millions of transactions swiftly and securely. Tencent Cloud also operates two internet data centers in Indonesia that have received certifications demonstrating their high-level safety and security standards, including the Uptime Institute Tier III – Design & Facility, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, ISO 14001, and SNI (local standard).
Furthermore, Tencent Cloud offers the ‘China Connect’ solution to assist Indonesian companies looking to expand their operations to China by providing a comprehensive suite of services with guidance and support to get their operations up and running in China, including business registrations, security solutions, and data analysis, leading Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, enterprise-level applications, and a package of services.
Helios, as a strategic partner, has a broad network of partners and customers to assist Tencent Cloud in expanding its business in Indonesia. Supported by on-premises services in which Helios provides 24-hour support by a team of engineers experienced in application development, as well as consulting with technical intelligence, enterprises in Indonesia will be able to enjoy a more comprehensive cloudification experience brought by Helios and Tencent Cloud.
