Businesses are Racing to go Digital in Indonesia

Read the white paper: Building a Digital Ecosystem in Indonesia, to close the gap between infrastructure and innovation

Indonesia is one of the world’s largest consumer markets, presenting numerous opportunities for businesses focused on digital technology. At a technology roundtable discussion with senior executives from companies operating in Indonesia, Akamai Technologies found that the digital shift in Indonesia is accelerating, but concerns remain around infrastructure capabilities, the ability to scale, market sizing, and web security.

The Akamai white paper: Building a Digital Ecosystem in Indonesia, covers issues that need to be resolved, from basic infrastructure to digital awareness among end-users. Indonesia’s digital ecosystem - from legislation to telecommunications infrastructure, security and logistics - needs leadership and strategy to support sustainable digital growth.

This white paper covers:

  1. The variations and limitations of available market data on the level of digital readiness across Indonesia
  2. Why a mobile-first approach is popular, but also problematic for companies embarking on a digital strategy
  3. The reasons that web security is a top challenge as digital companies face threats from online hackers and DDoS attacks
  4. The challenges of scalability, seasonal Internet traffic and the need to partner with web content delivery service providers
