The deal comes just a month after IOH partnered with Huawei to launch Southeast Asia’s largest digital intelligence operations centre
Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) has teamed up with Accenture to accelerate the development of a sovereign AI cloud platform, with the aim of advancing Indonesia’s digital transformation.
Through its subsidiary Lintasarta, IOH will use Accenture’s AI Refinery platform to help businesses adopt AI-driven solutions, while ensuring data remains secure within Indonesia.
The initial focus of the partnership will be on providing AI solutions for the financial services sector, one of Indonesia’s key industries. The partnership is expected to offer local banks AI tools to improve efficiency, boost profitability, and enhance customer service, while meeting industry regulations.
“We are deeply committed to supporting Indonesia’s vision of becoming a digitally empowered nation by 2045, and see AI as a key enabler for both economic resilience and technological empowerment in Indonesia,” said Vikram Sinha, President Director and CEO of IOH in a press release.
“This collaboration with Accenture and Lintasarta brings us closer to achieving that goal, as we combine global expertise with local market insights,” he continued.
“This collaboration underscores Indosat’s larger purpose of empowering Indonesia, contributing to the nation’s digital transformation and technological sovereignty. By developing the country’s first sovereign AI platform, Lintasarta and Accenture are working to unlock the potential of AI while upholding the critical tenets of data security, sovereignty, and innovation,” echoed Senthil Ramani, senior managing director and global Data & AI lead at Accenture.
Last month, IOH announced the launch of their Digital Intelligence Operations Center (DIOC), which will feature End-to-End Service Management of all its services, which will allow any customer issues to be quickly sorted. It will also integrate data analysis with “cutting-edge technologies,” which IOH says will enable “continuous, data driven innovation”.
Back in February and Mobile World Congress Barcelona, the two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work together on digital and AI development.
