CxO leadership is key to cloud adoption for digital transformation.

any companies are starting to migrate data to the cloud to carry out digital transformation. Cloud transition is in high demand, especially in the post-pandemic period, which shows the importance of digitalization.
However, the continuation of cloud adoption can be stalled due to a lack of understanding of how the cloud can benefit company-wide operations in terms of customer engagement, transactions and simplifying operations.
"Cloud adoption often fails or is not maximized because of the unclear objectives of cloud adoption. And a lack of business leadership in cloud adoption can limit the benefits for their teams or customers to be more productive," said Adam Darmanto, COO of IDCloudHost. Adam expressed his views at the w.media Data Center and Cloud Convention 2023, held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Jakarta on May 11.
He added, "Use cases for cloud services are not fully understood. For example, the cloud can be a solution to outsource information systems, labor expertise or capital investment.
An information systems-oriented cloud can also act as a productivity enabler, or a workspace for team collaboration."
Cloud computing is the future and the only right technology to perform digital transformation in order to meet market demands, maintain competitiveness and develop companies to achieve corporate goals in the future. IDCloudHost (https://idcloudhost.com) is one of the one of the leading cloud providers in Indonesia.
"CxOs need to embrace and understand cloud services to accelerate digital transformation in their companies. Digital transformation is a major initiative and cannot be left to the IT division alone. Digital transformation requires CxO leadership. CxO involvement will ensure the success of digital transformation in the company," said Adam.
The w.media Data Center and Cloud Service's Convention 2023 event discussed data center and cloud services adoption and best practices among industry players. Experts from companies such as Google, IDCloudHost, BDx, ZTE and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine System Asia participated in the event.
The results of a study by Fasilkom UI, BSSN and ACCI on the adoption of cloud computing as a technology that accelerates digital transformation showed that of the 31 institutional respondents, 67.7 percent had adopted cloud computing and 32.3 percent had not.
On the other hand, the market value of cloud computing in Indonesia as well as the ASEAN region is promising and is expected to increase significantly in the next few years. In 2021, the value of the cloud market in ASEAN reached US$5.4 billion. IDC reports that this figure will more than double to US$13.8 billion by 2026.
