Aplikanusa Lintasarta president director Arya Damar said that the service would seek corporate clients from five main industries namely banking and financial, energy, government, retail, and transportation.

"It transforms Lintasarta to an information, communication, and technology [ICT] company. We have more than 2,500 corporate customers. With IBM, we can reach customers end-to-end, not only in telecommunications but the IT services as well," he said in Jakarta on Friday.

Lintasarta, Indosat Oreedoo's subsidiary, is well-known for its banking service. It owns PT Artajasa Pembayaran Elektronis, which run automatic teller machine (ATM) networks like ATM Bersama, a joint ATM service between several banks.

Arya said that the company would provide clients with data centers, a cloud, mobility, security and analytics. And, if the corporate customers would like, the service could be extended to the personal level.

"For example the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program, we can customize the device by adding customized corporate applications and enhance the security of the device. While Lintasarta is strong with corporate customers, Indosat can handle the individual customers," he said.

Lintasarta and IBM had discussed the cooperation since 2014. Indosat joined in mid-2015. "After exhausting discussions and technical meetings, we can finally realize it. Now we need to focus on the implementation," IBM Indonesia president director Gunawan Susanto said. (ags)
