Thousands of cloud and data centre professionals including key decision-makers and end-users from leading organisations across the region, gathered yesterday in Jakarta for the Indonesia Cloud & Datacenter Convention – Global 2025. Themed “Shaping the Future for Indonesia 4.0: Data Centers at the Core of Digital Transformation,” the event marked a significant moment for the industry’s continued evolution.
As one of Indonesia’s leading facilities management providers, OCS Indonesia was proud to participate and support this landmark event; where we showcased how our expertise helps data centres operate efficiently and sustainably. Our COO, Ricardo Purba and OCS India’s Managing Director, Manoj J. Parekh, contributed to two engaging panel discussions.
In the panel on “AI-Empowered Data Centers,” Manoj reframed the conversation by introducing the often-overlooked but critical role of facilities management. As AI drives demand for always-on infrastructure, it’s not just about automation. It is about accountable systems where cooling, power, and fault response operate in tandem with human oversight. He urged the industry to move beyond self-optimisation and towards explainable AI-human collaboration, especially for regulated sectors like BFSI that demand trust, auditability, and service transparency.
