EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Customer Case Study
Business Challenge
The banking industry represents a dynamic operating landscape where change is
inevitable and competition is keen. To remain competitive, major financial institutions like
PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) are constantly seeking out new markets to serve.
inevitable and competition is keen. To remain competitive, major financial institutions like
PT. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) are constantly seeking out new markets to serve.
In particular, the rural market of Indonesia has been a growth area for BRI, and
a niche which it has served successfully over the years. To sustain its market
position here, BRI plans to offer micro banking services to consumers and extend
banking support for mid-sized businesses in an effort to contribute to the growth of
Indonesia’s rural economy.
a niche which it has served successfully over the years. To sustain its market
position here, BRI plans to offer micro banking services to consumers and extend
banking support for mid-sized businesses in an effort to contribute to the growth of
Indonesia’s rural economy.
However, BRI was facing obstacles which prevented it from accelerating its
business expansion to rural markets. Firstly, scaling up its legacy IT infrastructure
would require significant cost, since it was still running on a compartmentalized
data center structure. Poor utilization of computing and storage resources,
combined with IT silos also translated into longer lead times in deploying the IT
infrastructure necessary to deliver new applications and services quickly.

would require significant cost, since it was still running on a compartmentalized

combined with IT silos also translated into longer lead times in deploying the IT
infrastructure necessary to deliver new applications and services quickly.
BRI therefore needed solutions that will not only enable it to scale its IT infrastructure
to meet business needs rapidly and cost efficiently but also to achieve a “Green Data
Center” and the associated energy efficiencies. “We realized that our data center model
required a rethink and went about to search for a technology partner with a strong vision
that could guide us in our transition to a new model,” Mr. Toto Widjonarto, Data Center
Deputy Manager, Bank Rakyat Indonesia.
