By Gloria Mathias

Tencent, the global technology company, has announced a partnership with GoTo Group, the digital ecosystem in Indonesia. The collaboration will see Tencent Cloud providing a comprehensive suite of cloud infrastructure solutions and digital services to GoTo’s business.

As part of the five-year partnership, GoTo will leverage Tencent Cloud’s technology and Platform as a Service (PaaS) services to support its comprehensive ecosystem. GoTo’s engineering team will collaborate with Tencent Cloud’s in-house service and architecture experts to further develop its technology, allowing the company to improve its enterprise offerings while also boosting its consumer-centric products and strengthening the user experience.

As an Indonesian tech company, GoTo’s powerful market presence and range of services will be further bolstered by Tencent Cloud’s strong local presence, underpinned by its locally domiciled Tencent Cloud servers.

Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President of Tencent Cloud International, shared, “We are excited to partner with GoTo to drive Indonesia’s digital transformation. With over 20 years of experience in technological innovation and building large-scale digital ecosystems, Tencent Cloud’s high-performance, easy-to-maintain, and flexible cloud services will benefit GoTo’s key service offerings. We remain committed to GoTo and Indonesia, and we look forward to exploring further collaborations in the future.”

Patrick Walujo, GoTo Group CEO, said, “The partnership between GoTo and Tencent Cloud will support our company and the countless consumers, driver-partners, and MSMEs that depend on our ecosystem. Our goal is to offer our users a seamless and integrated experience across our platforms, and Tencent Cloud offers us a firm technical foundation for achieving this. Our two companies have a long history together, and I am confident that our relationship will continue to flourish.”

By establishing local data centres, Tencent Cloud enhances service proximity, minimises data access delays, and fosters rapid digital transformation for businesses and organisations nationwide. This strategy ensures compliance with regulatory standards and offers robust disaster recovery options across the Asia-Pacific region.
