LintasArta strengthens cloud computing service in collaboration with its subsidiary, PT. Lintas Media Danawa (LMD). LintasArta which previously offered Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution, is now offering Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that is marketed by LMD. The service is more complete with network service which is LintasArta’s business.
IaaS is an infrastructure “rental” service such as data center, storage, hardware, and server for businesses. While SaaS is a software or system “rental” service such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), human resource information system (HRIS), points of sales (POS) and so on.
VAS Commerce General Manager of LintasArta, Teddy Sis Herdianto, as cited by IndoTelko, explains that the cloud market in Indonesia in 2012 will increase in line with the business increase and growing national economic. The companies will be more daring to expand the products and locations throughout the entire archipelago. This will create increase of the need for ICT companies. The companies are optimistic to offer cloud computing technology to various industrial sectors.
2012 is likely to be a milestone for cloud penetration in Indonesia. Last month, XL announced its cloud service while last week, Indonesia Forum of Cloud Computing Association is declared. In recent years, we may be looking at cloud computing technology to replace IT technology used by many industries and companies nowadays.
