IDPRO, which is currently headquartered in Jakarta, was founded by seven influential organizations in the industry to support the implementation of the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 82 of 2012 regarding the Implementation of Electronic System and Transactions (PP 82/2012 tentang Penyelenggaraan Sistem dan Transaksi Elektronik). That is why, one of IDPRO’s main agendas is to prepare, establish, and implement the National Data Center Standardization and Certification for data center professionals in Indonesia.

 

IDPRO is led by Hendra Suryakusuma (the CEO of one of Indonesia’s leading data center companies as the Chief, along with Teddy Sukardi (an expert IT Consultant and the Chairman of Ikatan Konsultan Teknologi Informasi Indonesia) as the General Secretary, and Stephanus Oscar (an IT professional at one of the biggest data center companies in the country) as the Treasurer. With their extensive experience in the ICT industry, this board of leaders is trusted to bring IDPRO and its members to actively contribute to the development of Indonesia’s ICT ecosystem.

Second, it must be a company that is engaged in the data center infrastructure management, provision, or services field OR a government institution OR an educational institution in Indonesia.

In its future development, IDPRO is aiming to collaborate with more companies, institutions, academics, and professionals including government agencies like the Ministry of Communication and Information, the Ministry of Defense, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Indonesian Chamber of Commerce (KADIN), and the Telecommunications Society (MASTEL).
