This morning (and tomorrow), I am giving a presentation on IT Outsourcing. We looked at the landscape - looked at Wipro, Infosys, Tata, trend in China, (call center in) Phillipines, Vietnam, and what not. We evaluated why companies outsource (their IT).
There was a question about Indonesia's postion in IT outsourcing. Well, we are not know in the world (yet), but there are some IT outsourcing companies. (I happen to run a small one :) ). We're in a different league, though. We then have the following chart to show our position:
(The text is in Bahasa Indonesia. I just took a snapshot of the page.)
In terms out positioning, I believe that Indonesia should focus on the "art" portion of IT. We are very different with the rest of the pack in terms of art (and taste?). At least, that's my gut feeling. (I rarely wrong. ha ha ha.) There's a longer story about this focus, but I have to find more time to write it down. It is easier for me to tell it in front of people. Maybe in my next presentation? We'll see.
Anyway ... I hope this could satisfy your question about Indonesia's IT outsourcing. (Err... I think you have more questions after reading this. Ha!) Until next time.

Comments
1. Indonesians don't speak proper English yet (most of them at least)
2. Its (communication) infrastructure is not yet as developed as it should be. Being an archipelago of 17000 islands adds to this problem.
3. Resources are not as cheap as in China and India?
What do you think?
What exactly do you mean by art? When I was reading your post I was thinking about all the talented coders, 3d artists, and designers in Indonesia.
I'm interested in your presentation. Love to see more on this.
I agree the with the infrastructure comment. Labour fees? They are quite competitive. I also would love to see what happened to the presentation.
I'm more than open to have further discussion with all the folks there in Indonesia on this matter!
Any interested people please let me know your linkedin or email.
Cheers!

i'm looking forward to see your presentation, by the way.
We tried to give a reasonable fee, as we work in a relatively small city. but if our competitor is that cheap, then what's the point we take the job? there's no need to compete to be the cheapest? We work to earn a living, a better living.
