Jakarta, Indonesia, August 21, 2024 - PT Metrodata Electronics Tbk ("Metrodata") is once again hosting the Metrodata Solution Day ("MSD") 2023 at Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta. This year, MSD is themed "AI Reimagined: Transforming the Future of Work," emphasizing the crucial role of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in enhancing business efficiency and innovation. This event marks the 19th year of MSD.
AI, particularly Generative AI (Gen AI), presents substantial opportunities for the business sector. The potential benefits of Gen AI include cost savings, increased productivity, and new opportunities for business innovation. Key advantages of Generative AI include the automated generation of marketing content, rapid optimization of product design, automation of routine work processes, high-precision data analysis, and the creation of more personalized customer experiences.
In Indonesia, AI adoption is still in its early stages, offering a prime opportunity for businesses to adapt and prepare to remain competitive.
Metrodata, through its 8 Pillars Solutions-comprising Business Application, Cloud Services, Consulting & Advisory Services, Cybersecurity, Data & AI, Digital Business Platform, Hybrid IT Infrastructure, and Managed Services; serves as a key partner for Indonesian businesses across various industries, supporting their digital transformation journeys to enhance productivity and competitiveness.
"In a constantly evolving world, we must adapt and embrace change to stay relevant and succeed in the market. AI should not be seen as something to avoid but rather as an integral part of our business strategy. At MSD, we provide insights into AI technology adoption designed to help businesses innovate and thrive in this digital era. As always, MSD addresses future trends, and this year we focus on how AI is transforming business operations, innovation, and customer interactions," said Susanto Djaja, President Director of PT Metrodata Electronics Tbk.
"Quoting Microsoft and LinkedIn's Work Trend Index 2024, 92% knowledge workers in Indonesia are already using generative AI at work. This enthusiasm is welcomed by 92% of business leaders in the country, who recognize the importance of AI for competitive advantage. However, 48% of leaders still require a clear vision and plan for implementing AI in their respective organizations. Through MSD, Microsoft and Metrodata strive to help organizations formulate this vision and plan, by realizing four AI transformation opportunities. Starting from enriching employee experience, revolutionizing customer relationships, restructuring business processes, to simplifying the curve for innovation. All of this is presented through the Mitra Integrasi Informatika - Artificial Intelligence (MIAI) initiative, which MII has launched since last April," said Gerald Leo, Microsoft ASEAN Partner Development Director.
"The moment has arrived for gen AI in the enterprise, and we're seeing more and more customers moving from experimentation to production to scaled production. Together with industry leaders such as Metrodata, Google Cloud is working with organizations of all sizes to help them innovate with the power of AI, securely and responsibly, so they can unlock opportunities for long term sustainable growth." Fanly Tanto, Country Director, Indonesia, Google Cloud.

At Anaplan, we have been at the forefront of this technological evolution, helping businesses fully leverage the value of their data." Magdalena Hendrata, Area Vice President, Asia, Anaplan.
"Data streaming is the foundational technology to the future of AI. It is revolutionizing the future of work by improving business agility, reducing costs and creating better customer experiences.
