These three main strategies are build, borrow, and buy, Telkom's Director of Finance and Risk Management, Heri Supriadi, noted in a written statement received here on Tuesday.
By applying the build strategy, Telkom is developing the digital infrastructure capability as well as honing the competencies of the companies' digital talents, so that they can provide the best services to the people, he expounded.
Telkom applies the borrow strategy through its strategic partnership with various large technology companies, both at the domestic and global scale, he noted.
