This recognition at the World Communication Awards 2024 reaffirms Indosat’s commitment to innovation, excellence, and customer satisfaction. Indosat is determined to build on this success by introducing transformative solutions and setting new industry standards.

The transformation taken by Indosat is part of a bold move that aimed to integrate the network infrastructure and its operations. This transformation was not only about achieving quality targets but also about redefining the company’s position from a traditional telecommunications provider to a technology-driven enterprise. Leveraging autonomous transformation as the backbone of its strategy, Indosat successfully laid the foundation for what it terms a “Marvelous Experience,” ensuring a stable and consistent platform for innovation and growth while elevating customer service standards.

A cornerstone of this transformation was the creation of a central data repository, or a big data lake, designed to serve as a single source of truth for decision-making. Indosat implemented advanced technologies to streamline operations, significantly reducing service quality alarms and expediting problem identification and resolution. These technological advancements have redefined operational efficiency and paved the way for unparalleled service reliability.

Indosat’s transformation was deeply rooted in its commitment to its customers, encapsulated in the concept of “Marvelous Experience.” This holistic approach interwove improvements across various touchpoints, enhancing not only customer interactions but also the experiences of employees, partners, and the brand itself. By adopting AI-powered tools to analyse Quality of Experience (QoE) and customer satisfaction (CSAT), Indosat enabled proactive measures to safeguard and enrich the end-user experience. This approach resulted in a ground-breaking and a noticeable uplift in customer satisfaction, setting new benchmarks in service delivery across the industry.

Operational excellence was another pillar of Indosat’s transformation. The unification of its Network Operations Center (NOC) and Service Operations Center (SOC) marked a significant milestone in process optimization and automation. By harnessing the power of AI and data analytics, Indosat ensured that its operations were not only efficient but also aligned with its overarching mission to deliver seamless, innovative services to its customers.As Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison continues to push boundaries in digital transformation, it remains steadfast in its vision to lead the industry with groundbreaking solutions that empower lives, drive economic progress, and ensure a sustainable digital future.
