Partnership is one of the most integral factors in realizing a nation’s digital economy potential. A collective effort that embroils everyone – from the government, industry players, education institutions, NGOs, to individiuals – is of the essence to bring about innovations and leverage our competitive edge. This is especially true for Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country, whose people are spread over 17,000 islands and 38 provinces. Working collectively to make recent technology and innovation available to every individual, institution, and organization that is currently transforming is critical.
Owing to this, ever since we first laid foundations in Indonesia, Microsoft has committed itself to making partner empowerment one of the company’s main focuses in working side by side with the country to achieve Golden Indonesia 2045. In the past 28 years, our partner’s ecosystem in Indonesia has never stopped growing, reaching a staggering number of more than 2,300 partners in mid-2023. Now, with the enthusiasm for using a new generation of AI around the world, encouraging AI transformation-based partnerships in Indonesia becomes our focus in accelerating our partner ecosystem.
It is undeniable that AI is an important part of the nation’s future, evident from how the technology is projected to contribute up to 12 percent of Indonesia’s total GDP in 2030. Therefore, through Microsoft Cloud & AI services portfolio, we continue to innovate, presenting platforms which enables our partners to build innovation with AI as their copilot.
In order for partners to take full advantage of the unique value of the Microsoft Cloud and AI platform, last July at Microsoft Inspire 2023, we also announced the launch of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. In simple terms, this program enables each of Microsoft’s partners to bring about added values to their customers by leveraging Microsoft’s AI and Cloud technologies. Through this program, we provide a comprehensive investment portfolio for all partners’ business models, at every stage of their business cycle. This program also empowers partners throughout their workflow; starting from onboarding, upskilling, go-to-market assistance, incentives, to co-selling. Read more here.
In line with how the world is now increasingly focused on maximizing AI technology through its derivatives and solutions, we at Microsoft would like to acknowledge the great achievements and important roles that our partners have played so far in accelerating the national digital transformation in Indonesia through the “Microsoft Indonesia Partner Award 2023”. On this occasion, we would like to congratulate and thank all partners who have always accelerated the nation’s digital transformation.
