Singtel, Indonesia’s Telkom partner to develop regional data centre strategy

The companies will also collaborate to support Indonedia’s fixed broadband business.

Singtel and Indonesia’s Telkom have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop the former’s regional data centre strategy.

“As the largest digital economy in ASEAN, Indonesia is a strategic data centre market which expands our platform’s footprint to cover the three fastest-growing locations in the region – Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand,” Singtel Group CEO Yuen Kuan Moon said.

“The platform will support the digital transformation needs of customers wanting to deploy into Indonesia, and Indonesian businesses looking to grow beyond the country. We look forward to deepening our longstanding collaboration with Telkom to capitalise on the favourable trends and tremendous market opportunity.”

According to Singtel, the Southeast Asian region has shown robust growth in data centres with Singapore and Indonesia projected to account for over 60% by 2025.

Outside Indonesia, Singtel is also looking at the Thailand data centre market. Last February, the company signed a joint development agreement with Gulf Energy and Singtel’s regional associate AIS to develop Thailand’s data centres.

In a separate MoU, the companies have also agreed to collaborate in providing support for Telkomsel’s fixed-mobile convergence strategy with Telkom.

The strategy is expected to strengthen customer value proposition, in turn increasing customer lifetime value and household penetration.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
