“This partnership marks a significant milestone in helping Indonesian companies optimize their IT infrastructure management,” said Budhi Wibawa, Founder & CEO of ICS. “By partnering with SUSE, we can provide the ability to manage multiple Linux distributions through a unified platform with SUSE Multi Linux Support and SUSE Manager. This integrated approach simplifies complex IT environments, reduces operational burdens, and offers the flexibility companies need in today’s dynamic digital landscape.”

To support the previously mentioned partnership objectives, ICS offers a range of innovative solutions from SUSE designed to meet the needs of various industries.

In the retail sector, facing shifting consumer behavior, SUSE facilitates seamless integration between online and offline sales. SUSE Rancher helps retailers manage point-of-sale applications, inventory, and customer loyalty programs uniformly across all stores. At the same time, SUSE Manager ensures that system updates and security can be centrally managed, delivering a consistent and secure shopping experience for customers.

The telecommunications industry, often grappling with the challenge of managing complex infrastructures, also benefits from SUSE’s solutions. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server provides a reliable foundation for critical telecommunications services, while SUSE Manager enables efficient automation of managing thousands of systems. This helps telecom operators maintain high service availability while reducing operational costs.
