JAKARTA - PT MNC Investama Tbk (BHIT) or MNC Group is accelerating the process of digitizing its business units. Starting from media, financial services, entertainment, education, to e-commerce.

To that end, the company owned by conglomerate Hary Tanoesoedibjo signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Microsoft. Through this collaboration, MNC Group will leverage Microsoft's suite of technologies such as cloud, machine learning, and blockchain to simplify the process of storing, managing, and analyzing enterprise data.

This includes increasing the effectiveness and security of hybrid work processes, building a financial marketplace, and developing game streaming services.

"Digitalization is unavoidable. Digitizing services is an urgent issue amid demands to continue to innovate and develop," said Executive Chairman of MNC Group Hary Tanoesoedibjo in a statement, Monday, March 21.

Meanwhile, President Director of Microsoft Indonesia Dharma Simorangkir said, through the MNC Group's large and varied business group, he believes that digitizing MNC Group's business services will be able to accelerate the digitization of Indonesia.

"We are happy to take part in this journey and are ready to provide support at various stages of MNC Group's transformation. Starting from strengthening digital talent, providing innovation platforms, expert assistance, to go to market support," said Dharma.

Dharma also said, carrying the same spirit, namely Empowering Indonesia's Digital Economy, Microsoft believes this collaboration will be able to make a real contribution to Indonesia, especially in the transformation of Indonesia into a Digital Indonesia.

By collaborating with Microsoft, almost all MNC Group business lines will benefit from this collaboration, such as MNC Digital (MSIN), MNC Kapital Indonesia (BCAP), and MNC Land (KPIG). Utilizing Microsoft services and applications in the MNC Group datacenter, each of these business lines will be able to create innovations in the field of gaming and others.

Apart from technology, MNC Group and Microsoft will also collaborate to improve the digital capabilities of MNC Group employees, as well as digital talents mentored by MNC Group. For example, by incorporating a number of Microsoft digital learning modules into the MNC University curriculum, as well as preparing MNC Academy members to obtain Microsoft's international standard certification.
