This strategic vision, led by the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (KOMDIGI), aims to accelerate the modernization of enterprise IT infrastructure, telecommunications networks, and digital public services across the ASEAN region [1]. The initiative aligns with Southeast Asia’s rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and regulatory governance, creating a framework for sustainable economic growth through technology adoption [GPT]. As multinational corporations and U.S. investors target emerging markets, Indonesia’s digital economy framework presents significant opportunities for capital deployment in enterprise architecture and digital infrastructure [1].
