Upskilling to Cloud Excellence

To deliver the scalability and flexibility needed to handle peaks and troughs in demand from their 156 million subscribers, Telkomsel began a migration to AWS. To accelerate best practice adoption, they embarked on a comprehensive cloud training program and established a Cloud Center of Excellence in collaboration with AWS Training and Certification. Over 1,000 staff participated in upskilling initiatives, with self-paced fundamental cloud training offered to thousands more. By building a cloud-first mentality across the company, teams can now collaborate more seamlessly on cloud projects and focus on innovation.
