The Vice President of Corporate Communication, Andri Herawan Sasoko, shared that these strategies build upon the company’s ongoing transformation over the past three years, with a specific emphasis on execution this year.
5 Good Move Strategy Unveiled
Telkom’s main strategy, dubbed “5 Good Move,” includes the concept of Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC). This entails merging Fixed Broadband services with Mobile Broadband, integrating Indihome with Telkomsel, a move that has been in progress since 2023. As a result, Telkomsel now directs its focus towards Business to Consumer (B2C) activities, while Telkom shifts its focus to B2B operations. This consolidation aims to optimize the company’s resources and enhance its value proposition.
Utilizing Fiber Optic Cable Potential
A key aspect of Telkom’s strategy involves leveraging the vast potential of its existing 173,000 km-long fiber optic cable network, stretching from Aceh to Papua. Through its subsidiary, PT Telkom Infrastruktur Indonesia (TIF), the company plans to optimize its fiber optic infrastructure to generate additional value. The formation of TIF signifies Telkom’s commitment to capitalizing on its assets and expanding its capabilities gradually.
Focus on Data Center Business
Telkom is also capitalizing on the opportunities presented by the data center business. Currently, the company operates a Hyperscale data center in Cikarang, West Java, with plans to establish additional centers in locations such as Batam and various regional areas. Emphasizing the importance of success in B2B IT Services, Telkom aims to ensure the effectiveness of these strategic initiatives for sustained growth and competitiveness.
Future Outlook and Expansion
As Telkom embarks on its journey to solidify its position in the market, the company’s strategic focus on B2B activities, fiber optic cable utilization, and data center expansion underscores its commitment to innovation and growth. By aligning its operations with the evolving needs of the digital landscape, Telkom aims to deliver enhanced services and value to its customers while maintaining its position as a key player in Indonesia’s telecommunications sector.
Through these strategic initiatives, Telkom demonstrates its proactive approach to adapting to market trends and technological advancements, positioning itself for sustained success in the dynamic business environment.
