Digital
AI Cannot Replace Poor Records
AI can help companies retrieve and process knowledge faster. But when document versions, decisions, metadata, and source authority are unclear, AI simply accelerates access to uncertainty.
Digital
Your Application Does Not Stand Alone
An application can appear healthy while transactions fail because an external service is unavailable. Digital resilience starts with understanding dependencies, fallbacks, and recovery.
Digital
Platform Pricing Is Ecosystem Design
The price customers see is only the most visible layer of platform economics. Behind it are merchants, couriers, promotions, service costs, and decisions about who pays for what.
Digital
You Have a Website or App. Are You Operating a Registered PSE?
Building a website or application is not only a design and technology decision. Once a business operates an electronic system, functions, data, security and regulatory obligations need to be mapped.
Digital
Old Data Can Become New Risk
Data can lose its commercial value without losing its risk. Businesses need to understand not only how information is protected, but how its lifecycle actually ends.
Digital
A Data Centre Is More Than Servers
AI growth requires more than chips and servers. Behind compute are electricity, grids, cooling, water, land, construction, permits and increasingly strategic infrastructure risk.
Digital
Fintech Must Prove Its Impact
Indonesia’s fintech sector is moving beyond a phase where users, transactions and disbursement alone can define success. The harder question is whether innovation creates genuinely new access, lowers friction, improves economic outcomes and remains resilient.
Digital
QRIS 0% and the Economics of Small Transactions
From October 1, Indonesia expands the 0% QRIS Merchant Discount Rate to transactions of up to Rp100,000. The savings are real, but merchant profitability still depends on product margins, reconciliation, settlement and the wider cost of accepting payments.
Digital
Discovery Commerce: Products Find Buyers
E-commerce no longer waits only for consumers to search. Content, live shopping, recommendation feeds and creators can bring products directly into a potential buyer’s attention. The opportunity for Indonesian SMEs is significant—but visibility still needs to convert into healthy margins, inventory discipline and repeat customers.
Digital
Digital Rupiah Moves Toward Infrastructure
Indonesia has not launched the Digital Rupiah to the public. Project Garuda has nevertheless progressed from consultation into wholesale technology experimentation, while Bank Indonesia is now deepening work on a Wholesale Securities Ledger. The bigger issue is how central-bank money could interact with future financial-market infrastructure.
Digital
From Payments to Open APIs
Digital payments are already widespread. The next challenge is integration: connecting transactions with POS, accounting, ERP, treasury and customer service without creating a new layer of fragmentation.
Digital
PSE Deadline: Who Owns the Risk?
Komdigi gave 25 private electronic-system providers until September 22 to complete registration requirements. The deeper issue is digital governance: many companies operate websites, apps and portals across different teams without a single regulatory inventory or clear accountable owner.
Digital
Digital Payments: What Comes Next?
Indonesia’s digital payments have reached enormous scale. The next question is no longer how many merchants accept QRIS, but whether digital payments improve settlement, reconciliation, cash-flow visibility, customer retention and business productivity.
Digital
Indonesia Is Starting to Enforce PP TUNAS: Why Child Protection Must Begin in Product Design
Six months into PP TUNAS implementation, child online safety is shifting from a parental-control issue toward product governance. Age assurance, privacy defaults, profiling, addictive design and feature-level risk are becoming responsibilities that digital companies must assess before children use their products.
Digital
Digital Transactions Are Growing—and So Is Scam Risk: What Should Businesses Protect?
Indonesia Anti-Scam Centre has received more than 637,000 reports and blocked over 607,000 accounts since operations began. For businesses, fraud prevention cannot rely only on telling employees to be careful. Payment processes must be designed so that one convincing message is not enough to move company money.
Digital
Businesses Have More Data Than Ever—and Too Little Insight: Why Data Hygiene Comes Before AI and Dashboards
POS systems, marketplaces, payments, CRM and analytics generate more business data than ever. But duplicate customers, inconsistent SKUs, missing statuses and unreconciled refunds can make dashboards misleading and AI confidently wrong.
Digital
AI Can Increasingly Act, Not Just Answer: What Authority Boundaries Should Businesses Set?
AI systems are evolving from answering questions to taking actions across business tools and workflows. The next governance challenge is deciding what they can access, what they can execute, and where human approval must remain mandatory.
Digital
A Daily Dashboard Should Do More Than Show Revenue: Seven Customer Signals Businesses Should Track
Revenue tells a business what has already happened. A useful dashboard explains why it happened and what may change next. These seven customer signals can provide earlier insight into growth, retention, and risk.
Digital
Security by Design: Security Starts with Architecture
Security is not a feature to add immediately before launch. Strong digital products define data access, permissions, AI authority, logging and recovery while the system is still being designed.
Digital
PP TUNAS: Child-Protection Standards for Digital Platforms
PP TUNAS moves child safety beyond content moderation. Digital platforms increasingly need to understand who can use their products, the risks embedded in features and how age, privacy and product design interact.
Digital
Content Creators Enter KBLI 2025: What Does It Mean?
KBLI 2025 gives content-creator activities clearer economic classifications, but there is no single code for every creator and existing licences do not automatically need to be replaced.
Digital
CoreWeave Enters Indonesia: Why AI Needs Local Infrastructure
CoreWeave’s first Asia-Pacific data-center expansion will be in Indonesia. The plan illustrates why the AI race increasingly depends not only on models and software, but on compute, electricity, networks, facilities and talent.
Digital
Indonesia’s Data Protection Authority: Is Your Business Ready?
Indonesia is finalising an independent personal-data protection authority, but the core requirements of the PDP Law are already in force. Businesses should understand what data they hold, why they process it, who can access it, which vendors receive it and how incidents are handled.
Digital
AI Is No Longer Just About Adoption: Why Indonesian Businesses Need to Start Measuring ROI
AI adoption is accelerating, but technology use is not the same as value creation. As pressure to demonstrate returns rises and Indonesia's AI governance framework develops, businesses need to judge AI by measurable outcomes—not the number of tools, pilots or users.
