Indonesia is one of the top 4 choices for IIJ Global (Japanese companies) to expand in the ASEAN region. In the last few years, there has been a trend of Japanese Companies increasingly shifting their focus towards the ASEAN market. Even amongst the ASEAN countries, Indonesia is exceptional in its abundance of natural resources, and purchasing power from its population that makes up to 40% of the population of the ASEAN region itself. Combined with the relatively cheap labor costs, Indonesia has become irresistible target for Japanese companies.

Seeing the market opportunity, IIJ already has expanded to the top 3 ASEAN countries which are Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. Founded in 2015, IIJ Global Solutions Indonesia became IIJ’s Indonesian office, which joined hands with the local giant telecommunications ‘Biznet Networks Eto create the joint venture called ‘Biznet GIO Nusantara E Leveraging the Cloud expertise of IIJ and the network resources of Biznet Networks, Biznet GIO was developed for and supplied to the local market, in turn greatly accelerating the adoption of Cloud Services locally. Despite Indonesia experiencing an exponential boom of smartphone users in recent years. Surprisingly, it still lacked a reliable local cloud service provider to meet the resulting needs, and has gathered over 2000 users/customer firms to date.

On the other hand, on top of having a relatively quick economic cycle, factors such as the sudden implementation of legal requirements to store data locally, has made it difficult for foreign-invested companies to install and operate systems in Indonesia. However, this is out of no major concern to BiznetGIO, as its provides flexible Cloud computing resources that are suited to utilization in such stories. Furthermore, we at Biznet GIO are also focusing on our efforts into providing Japanese-quality of security solutions to better supports and stabilizing the growth of our customer businesses here.
