Risk Management

 

In conducting its business, the Company faces various types of risks. To minimize the previously discussed risks, the Company mitigates risks by implementing the following measures:

  1. Risk of rapid technological advancements by principal partners both now and in the future, not balanced by the Company's development of competencies.

    Risk Management Efforts - The IT industry is a rapidly evolving sector. Technologies developed a few years ago may no longer be suitable for the current situation and conditions. This can happen due to various factors, such as capacity that no longer aligns with the software to be used or speed that no longer meets the latest technological developments. The principal partners of the Company continually innovate to create new products that represent future technology trends or upgrade existing technologies to meet current market needs. Additionally, new technologies emerge from new principals, competing with the technologies created by the Company's principal partners. The Company consistently keeps abreast of new technological developments, both from current principal partners and potential new partners not yet affiliated with the Company. Each year, the Company involves its engineers in obtaining certifications for new technologies developed by principal partners and participates in seminars conducted by these partners. Furthermore, the Company monitors market needs and technologies from new principals not yet affiliated with the Company. If, according to the Company's management, such technology is in demand in the current market, the Company will explore the possibility of partnering with that principal.

  2. Risk of dependence on information technology development and innovation in Indonesia, especially in the financial services industry.

    Risk Management - Efforts The financial services sector is one that requires the latest technology due to intense competition within the industry. Real-time and seamless financial transactions between financial institutions and related platforms, such as online buying and selling, have become technological trends that are mandatory for the financial services industry. This trend results in increased IT expenditures by the financial services industry. The IT spending contributed by the Company's customers in the financial services industry significantly impacts the Company's revenue. The Company's management recognizes the importance of diversifying its customer base across industries. Consequently, the Company has formed a sales sub-division specifically dedicated to clients in the telecommunications and oil and gas industries. The strengthening sales performance of the Company in the telecommunications industry has reduced its dependence on sales to clients in the financial services sector.

  3. Risk of changes in the strategic business policy direction of principal partners regarding the Indonesian market, as well as the solutions and technological products offered.

    Risk Management Efforts - Currently, Indonesia is one of the largest markets in Southeast Asia for technology principal partners, which predominantly come from developed countries. The large population of Indonesia and the significant potential for increasing internet penetration, especially in remote areas, provide substantial opportunities for principal partners to boost the sales of their technologies and solutions to be adopted by customers in Indonesia. However, there is no guarantee that the Indonesian market will remain a strategic focus for principal partners in the future. Therefore, if principal partners decide to reduce their presence in Indonesia. The technological solutions offered by principal partners, both existing and future offerings, may also change over time as a result of ongoing research and development. The Company's management is aware of this risk, and, as a result, the Company collaborates with several principal partners that offer technological solutions that overlap or are similar to those of other principal partners.

  4. Risk of principal partners not exclusively appointing local partners.

    Risk Management Efforts - All principal partners of the Company are global technology companies with a policy of exploring opportunities to market their products to as many parties as possible. Therefore, the Company does not have exclusive partnership agreements with principal partners that restrict them from collaborating with other IT companies. To mitigate this risk, the Company consistently maintains strong relationships with principal partners. One aspect of these positive relationships involves enhancing the capabilities of the Company's engineers in implementing technologies from the respective principal partners and increasing the sales volume of the principal partners' products to customers. However, this risk is also balanced by the advantages gained by the Company due to its inclusive position. The Company has the freedom to partner with other principals in marketing products to all its customers.

  5. Risk of successfully maintaining the status as the principal partner's primary contractor.

    Risk Management Efforts - Being the principal partner's primary contractor provides benefits to the Company, both in commercial aspects such as competitive pricing and support in the form of joint marketing activities with the principal partner to provide technology updates and IT solution ideas to customers. The Company achieves its status as the principal partner's primary contractor through a good track record of collaboration, as well as the competence and certification of the Company's employees in the technological products offered by the principal partner. The Company consistently maintains its status as the principal partner's primary contractor by continuously enhancing the competence and certification of its employees. This involves renewing expired certifications through exams/training specified by the principal partner and obtaining new certifications required by the principal partner. Additionally, the Company also develops its own Intellectual Property (IP) or products, reducing dependence on the principal partner.

  6. Risk of the Company's financial performance fluctuating due to the nature of work dependent on IT project procurement.

    Risk Management Efforts - The nature of the projects secured by the Company relies on IT project procurement from customers, either through open tenders, limited tenders, or direct appointments. The project value from each customer may fluctuate each year based on the customer's IT expenditure budget. The Company is aware that customer purchases of hardware generally undergo renewal approximately every three years. Therefore, the Company collaborates with various global principal partners, including those in various fields such as network devices, storage servers, security, big data and analytics, and others. The Company diversifies its products so that it can consistently meet the diverse IT budget needs of customers each year. This way, the risk of revenue fluctuation for the Company can be mitigated.

  7. Risk of management/control over project costs and duration according to the offer during procurement.

    Risk Management Efforts - Various factors can influence increased costs and delays in project completion, including, but not limited to, technical constraints, integration with principal products, and other unforeseen constraints. If the Company fails to complete an IT solution project within the timeframe specified in the contract, the Company may incur penalties from the customer. Additionally, as the Company recognizes revenue and receives payments from customers based on project progress, delays in the project can impact the operational performance and cash flow of the Company. To mitigate the risk of cost overruns and project duration, the Company provides detailed price quotations to potential customers based on the Company's best estimates of the costs and time required to complete the project. Cost estimates, including the purchase of hardware or software (the largest components in the project), directly from principal partner suppliers or through local distributors, are calculated by the Company after obtaining quotation price estimates from suppliers. The Company does this to minimize cost overruns as much as possible. Additionally, for direct purchases from foreign principal partners in US Dollars, the Company considers the swap points (premium) of the US Dollar exchange rate according to the estimated payment period to the principal partner in US Dollars.

  8. Risk of managing competent human resources, including retaining and recruiting new personnel.

    Risk Management Efforts - In the rapidly evolving IT industry, the Company's growth is significantly influenced by human resources with the experience to anticipate these developments and a comprehensive understanding of the IT solution needs of the Company's customers. The Company also relies on its human resources to obtain support from principal partners and secure job contracts from customers, given that employee competence is a crucial factor in the procurement process. The Company consistently provides competitive compensation for competent human resources and offers a clear career path to keep its personnel motivated to work for the Company. Additionally, the Company continuously provides training to its human resources to enhance their competency levels. In recruiting new human resources, especially engineers, the Company's Human Capital Management (HCM) conducts job fairs at universities to identify high-quality, fresh graduate engineers. Subsequently, these engineers undergo direct training within the Company.

  9. The risk in the IT system integration services industry in Indonesia is highly fragmented with low entry barriers.

    Risk Management Efforts - Competition in the IT system integration services is highly competitive, with numerous companies operating in the same field. The IT system integration services sector is progressive and innovative, offering opportunities for new players. The rapid growth in the number of competitors prompts larger IT companies to enhance their competencies in the IT field. Companies that can provide precise solutions to meet customer needs will hold a superior position in the market, intensifying the competition in this industry. Given the intense competition and low entry barriers, the Company consistently offers comprehensive integrated solutions to address customer IT needs and enhance customer performance through specific solutions. Additionally, the Company continually improves the quality of its solutions/services to maintain customer satisfaction.

  10. The risk of geopolitical competition worldwide may influence competition in the information technology solution market in Indonesia.

    Risk Management Efforts - Global geopolitical competition is ongoing, and some countries implement protectionist policies and sanctions against technology solutions from specific nations. As a result, information technology companies from those particular countries redirect their focus to markets that accept solutions from their country, including Indonesia. Indonesia itself is a highly attractive market with a large population, predominantly composed of a tech-savvy younger demographic. The more aggressive the strategies of these technology companies, the greater the competition in the Indonesian information technology solution market against the solutions that have been partners with the Company. The Enterprise market segment is a dominant segment for the Company, where the functionality and quality of technology solutions are prioritized due to serving the broader community. This results in the Company's principal partners having a competitive advantage. The Company consistently monitors the development of technology quality from all countries to ensure ongoing partnerships with principal partners offering superior and high-quality technology solutions.

  11. The success risk of the Company's business strategy implementation will depend on funding and future circumstances.

    Risk Management Efforts - The future execution plans may be influenced by capital investment. The Company plans to fund capital expenditures through (i) current cash and cash equivalents; (ii) cash generated from operating activities; (iii) bank loans; and (iv) net proceeds from the Stock Offering. However, the Company may not be able to provide sufficient capital in a timely manner, under reasonable commercial terms. The Company will continue to monitor the evolving funding needs in the implementation of the business strategy and prepare adequate cash flows and bank loan facilities to ensure the success of the strategy implementation.

  12. The risk of the Company's insurance coverage may not be able to cover losses from all incidents.

    Risk Management Efforts - In conducting business activities, the Company purchases hardware and software from principal partners, both directly and through local distributors in the Indonesian region. The delivery and on-site installation process requires coordination with customers, so not all hardware and software can be shipped immediately upon receipt from principal partners or local distributors. In connection with this, the Company consistently reviews the insurance value for inventory in the warehouse to ensure it is sufficient to cover the potential losses from all incidents.
