Indonesian AI Company Begins Targeting US Market Amid Global Technology Competition
Indonesian technology companies based on artificial intelligence (AI) are beginning to expand their penetration into the global market amid rising needs for digital transformation and worldwide technology industry competition. One of them is being undertaken by Aether AI through a strategic partnership with Crawford Software, a software company from Boston, United States.
This partnership opens access for Aether AI to the US market through Crawford Software’s business network and client base, which has over two decades of experience in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) sector for the manufacturing and distribution industries in North America.
Aether AI CEO Oliver Tedja stated that this collaboration presents an opportunity for Indonesian technology companies to demonstrate their capabilities and competitiveness in the international market.
“We are very enthusiastic about this partnership because it is an opportunity to showcase Indonesia’s technological potential in the US market,” said Oliver in his statement.
Founded in 2001 and based in Boston, Crawford Software has thus far served manufacturing, distribution, and mid-sized industrial companies in North America through ERP system implementation and development services.
Through this cooperation, Aether AI is said to begin supporting Crawford’s client needs in the US market. Meanwhile, in the Asian region, Aether AI will assist Crawford Software’s expansion with an initial focus on Indonesia, Hong Kong, and mainland China.
Aether AI assesses that Indonesia has significant opportunities in the development of ERP and AI technologies in line with the acceleration of digitalisation in the manufacturing and mid-sized industrial sectors. Thus far, the digital transformation needs in those sectors are considered not fully covered by global services.
In addition to Indonesia, Hong Kong is seen to have high needs for ERP systems and financial reporting for regional companies, while the Chinese market is still considered promising despite its own regulatory challenges.
