Entering its 21st year, PT Metrodata Electronics Tbk (Metrodata) once again hosted its flagship annual event, Metrodata Solution Day (MSD) 2026,, at the Denpasar Room, Level 3, Shangri-La Hotel, Central Jakarta, on Thursday (8/20), under the theme Winning with AI: Build, Run, and Scale for Measurable Impact
The theme reflects a major shift in how organizations approach Artificial Intelligence (AI) — moving beyond simply adopting technology to ensuring that every AI implementation truly accelerates the creation of real, measurable, and sustainable business value. Shifting Focus: From Spending to Real Value
This shift is also reflected in the latest IDC Info Snapshot: From AI Spending to AI Value Creation, co-authored by Metrodata and released in conjunction with MSD 2026. Key IDC findings show:
- 56.7% of organizations in Indonesia plan to increase their GenAI budget by more than 50%: nearly double the Asia-Pacific average of 29.8%.
- However, Indonesia’s AI maturity level stands at only 2.03 out of 5, still below both the regional and global averages.
This gap between high investment and low maturity is the main backdrop for the MSD 2026 theme — and signals a wide-open opportunity for Indonesian organizations to turn AI investments into tangible, measurable business impact.
Through this forum, Metrodata brings together business leaders, technology practitioners, and global technology partners to discuss how organizations can build a solid foundation, run AI in a governed manner, and scale AI adoption consistently — in line with the sub-theme "Accelerating AI Adoption for Real Business and Operational Value.
Indonesia Moves Beyond Adoption: Now Entering the Value Creation Phase
“We have moved beyond the adoption phase. Indonesia has proven to be one of the fastest-growing AI adoption markets in the region. But what matters most is not how fast technology is adopted, but how much value it creates,” said Susanto Djaja, President Director of PT Metrodata Electronics Tbk
According to Susanto, successful AI adoption depends not only on technology, but also on leadership, governance, and accountability at every stage of investment. This perspective underpins Metrodata’s Build, Run, and Scale framework:
- BUILD — Preparing the organization from data collection and architecture design to selecting use cases aligned with business priorities.
- RUN — Deploying AI in day-to-day operations with strong governance, security, operational discipline, and consistent performance measurement.
- SCALE — Expanding AI across business functions to boost productivity, accelerate decision-making, and deliver sustainable added value.
MSD 2026: Gathering More Than 30 Global Technology Partners
As its 21st annual edition, MSD 2026 features more than 30 global technology partners through keynote addresses, executive discussions, and technical sessions covering AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, data analytics, modern infrastructure, and enterprise applications. The forum is designed as an open collaboration platform for industry players to share experiences, lessons learned, and opportunities for leveraging technology across sectors.
Voices from Strategic Partners: Collaboration for Successful AI Adoption*
Microsoft Indonesia: Bridging Experimentation and Business Value
“Conversations around AI are no longer about access to technology, but about execution and implementation. The winning organizations are those that can integrate AI into daily work, govern it responsibly, and scale its benefits across the enterprise,” said Gunawan Susanto, Country General Manager, Microsoft Indonesia
Microsoft, together with Metrodata, is committed to accelerating Indonesian organizations’ journey from experimentation to real business value creation. With a solid foundation, companies can expand AI adoption in a measurable and sustainable way.
Google Cloud Indonesia: From Pilots to Real Operations
“In the age of artificial intelligence, success no longer comes from standalone pilot projects. We must embed intelligent AI agents directly into daily business operations,” said Karim Siregar, Country Director, Google Cloud Indonesia
Google Cloud, together with Metrodata, provides an open and trusted AI technology stack and foundation, enabling Indonesian businesses to innovate and deploy AI at scale quickly and confidently.
Cloudera Indonesia: Data is the Foundation of AI Trust:
“We are delighted to participate again in Metrodata Solution Day and strengthen our partnership with Metrodata to deliver greater value to our enterprise customers,” said Sherlie Karnidta, Country Manager, Cloudera Indonesia
Many organizations in Indonesia have invested heavily in AI, but data control and trust in AI outputs remain key challenges. Cross-industry collaboration, such as with Metrodata, reinforces our commitment to help organizations build, run, and scale AI with confidence — so AI investments truly deliver measurable and sustainable business value.
Anaplan: AI That Understands Business Context Before Giving Answers
“AI becomes valuable for Indonesian businesses when it understands the context behind every decision — not just by providing answers,” said Astri Anindita, Regional Vice President, Anaplan
Through Anaplan, AI is directly connected to corporate planning. With CoModeler, teams can build and refine planning models; Anaplan Analysts turn data and scenarios into actionable insights; and the Agent Studio provides governance to scale these capabilities. The result: smarter planning, leaders who can test the impact of decisions before making them, and AI investments that translate into real business outcomes.
Red Hat Indonesia: An Open Foundation for AI at Scale
“As organizations in Indonesia shift from experimenting to creating real business value, the need for a flexible, secure, and open hybrid foundation becomes critical,” said *Vony Tjiu, Country Manager, Red Hat Indonesia.
Red Hat is committed to empowering business leaders to build, run, and scale AI initiatives with strong governance, agility, and open-source technology. Without vendor lock-in, organizations can deploy and expand AI capabilities seamlessly across environments.
Salesforce ASEAN: Unified Data Drives Trusted Decisions
“Artificial intelligence is abundant, but trust in the data behind it is still limited. Salesforce unifies data, workflows, and governance so AI can deliver real and trusted outcomes,” said *Pravar Gautam, Vice President, Alliances & Channels, ASEAN at Salesforce
With a solid foundation, organizations can deploy AI with full confidence — every step backed by integrated, measurable, and accountable data.
Palo Alto Networks: Security as Fast as AI
“Advanced AI models can turn vulnerabilities into coordinated attacks as fast as a machine. Our defenses must move just as quickly to protect businesses in real time,” said *Arthur Siahaan, Solutions Consulting Manager, Palo Alto Networks.
Securing AI is not just about adding new tools, but about adopting a comprehensive, integrated cybersecurity approach — so business growth is not matched by uncontrolled risk growth.
