Jakarta, 7 December 2023 – Being competitive in the fast-paced business environment of today requires addressing sustainability-related issues and striking the ideal cost-quality ratio. Companies have environmental responsibilities in addition to the requirement to turn a profit. Maintaining excellent standards while controlling costs is an ongoing effort.
Distinguished leaders from several ASEAN countries recently gathered to discuss the nuances of striking the ideal balance between cost and quality in corporate operations. The discussion took place at Ritz-Carlton Jakarta Hotel on December 6-7, 2023, as part of the Markplus Conference 2024. Telin was an active participant in this thought-provoking discussion. Kharisma, the Chief Commercial Officer, represented the organization as a renowned panelist in the "The Quality-Cost Synergy in Driving Competitiveness" session. The thoughtful discussion on the strategies and challenges of attaining a harmonious synergy between cost and quality within a company was held by the panel, which included notable speakers such as Gotro Nur Riyadi, VP Commercial of PT Kereta Api Indonesia, and CEO of Garuda Indonesia Irfan Setiaputra.
The discussion center's on how a company can control costs while raising the value of the services and goods it provides. Submarine cables transport more than 90% of the data traffic used in global communications between continents. Globally, numerous new submarine cables have been constructed to fulfill the rapidly increasing need for digital communication.
Kharisma shared his insights and thoughts on how Telin manages its balance. He said that although investing in submarine cables and the related maintenance is very expensive for Telin, the business has been able to lower the cost of deployment by working with other carriers and optimizing technology. Common paths present another difficulty for Telin's subsea cable, raising the possibility of cable breaks and outages. Telin is adding new routes in order to enhance quality and steer clear of congested and geopolitical routes.
The potential and difficulties regarding accomplishing a smooth integration of cost and quality inside businesses were deliberated, demonstrating the shared dedication to promote competitiveness in the constantly changing environment. Aiming to strike a careful balance between quality and cost, the discussion demonstrates Telin's unwavering dedication to quality in telecoms and beyond, guaranteeing a future in which sustainability and quality-cost synergy result in long-term competitiveness.
