SMB Cloud Insights
TM2015
DEFINITIONS
SMB Definition and Segmentation
We define SMBs—also known as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) - as companies with 1 to 250 employees. There are around 4.4 million such SMB establishments in Indonesia today. SMB segments include: micro (1-9 employees), small (10-49 employees) and medium (50-250 employees).
Cloud Opportunity Type
Cloud leapers: This category consists of SMBs that currently are not using an in-house IT solution (no servers, no web server, or no PBX system) and are likely to move straight to the cloud, “leaping over” the intermediate in-house IT solutions.
Cloud converters: These SMBs currently have in-house solutions but are either moving or planning to move to hosted services. For example, many SMBs that currently have in-house servers may switch to hosted servers when it comes time to upgrade their infrastructure.
Cloud expanders: These SMBs, who are already using some form of cloud services, represent an opportunity for upselling to new and expanded cloud offerings. For example, an SMB who is using web hosting would be acting as a cloud expander when they purchase mobile optimization to complement their website.
Cloud Services Categories
This research is focused on the cloud services that matter most to SMBs: IaaS, web presence and web applications, unified communications, and a general category we refer to as business applications.
Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS): Dedicated servers, virtual private servers (VPS), managed hosting, as well as add-on applications and services for hosted infrastructure, such as control panels, development platforms, LAMP stack, security, server backup, and database add-ons. Includes cloud servers, due to their increasing use among SMBs. Web presence and web applications: Third-party web hosting, domain registration, SSL and ecommerce add-ons, site-building tools, high-opportunity web applications – web server backup, content delivery networks (CDN), content management, mobile optimization tools, search engine optimization (SEO), and web server security and health monitoring. Unified communications: Business-class email services, including email security, email archiving, along with mobility and hosted phone services, including hosted PBX. As of 2015, includes communication and collaboration applications, such as web and phone conferencing, instant collaboration, and mobile device management (MDM).
Business applications: The major types of software applications that can be accessed online – file sharing, online accounting, online backup and storage, online CRM, payroll and HR, support and help desk, and virtual desktop (VDI).
Odin SMB Cloud Insights™ has entered its fifth year of research into
the consumption of cloud services by small and medium businesses (SMBs). Globally and locally, we are finding that SMBs from a variety of sectors are moving business functions into the cloud. Tools and solutions previously reserved for enterprise-level organizations are being implemented in smaller firms as developers create services specifically for the SMB market. Our research is intended to help cloud service providers take advantage of the trends outlined in this report in order to meet the evolving needs of their SMB customers. Odin estimates the 2015 Indonesian SMB cloud service market to be Rp15T ($1.2B USD). Infrastructure-as-a-service accounts for Rp6.1T ($496M USD) of the overall market. Web presence adds Rp1.6T ($128M USD), unified communications adds Rp4.0T ($324B USD), and business applications adds Rp3.6T ($289M USD). Service providers can use the information contained in this report to understand how SMBs are using cloud services and identify growth opportunities in the coming years.

Market in 2015
The IaaS category is the largest within the overall Indonesian SMB cloud services market reaching Rp6.1T ($496M USD) in 2015. As this is an emerging market, many SMBs have recently started to rely on server systems to run their businesses. This often results in SMBs bypassing in-house servers and “leaping” straight to hosted servers as a solution.
Virtual private servers (VPS) are the most popular form of hosted server in Indonesia. The exception is medium firms who prefer dedicated hosted servers.

Over 90% of Indonesian SMBs that use hosted servers also purchase at least one add-on with their server. Over the next three years, security and control panels will maintain their prominence, while other add-ons will see strong growth.
Indonesian SMBs are starting to outsource the management of their servers to their service providers and third parties. This allows SMBs to focus on their businesses while providing new opportunities for service providers.

The IaaS market will see a 24% annual growth rate and reach Rp11.7T ($956M USD) by 2018. As noted above, most of this growth will come from firms without any type of server who will leap into the cloud market for the first time. As many SMBs entering the cloud space will be unfamiliar with this technology, service providers can differentiate themselves in the market by offering higher-touch services to their customers.

Unified communications – which includes hosted business voice services, email, and collaboration applications – is the second largest category of the Indonesian cloud market valued at Rp4.0T
($324M USD). As only 7% of Indonesian SMBs use business voice services and 20% use an email service, the market is still emerging. As a result, there is significant opportunity for service providers as SMBs continue to see the business value of these services.

Although very few Indonesian SMBs use hosted business voice services, those who do find that it improves productivity and customer satisfaction. For SMBs without hosted business voice services, the largest barrier to adoption is simply being unaware of the product. Service providers should address this education gap in their messaging to potential customers.

Business Applications
The business applications category is set to be the fastest growing in the Indonesian SMB cloud market. Expanding at a CAGR of 43%, the business applications category will be valued at Rp10.4T ($847M USD) in 2018. Service providers can capture this growth by offering best-in-breed applications and developing strong online marketing. Free trials are an effective method for capturing sales as many Indonesian SMBs are hesitant to purchase applications outright.

BUYING CLOUD SERVICES
Buying Cloud Services
Almost three quarters of all Indonesian SMBs purchase their services from just one or two service providers. This is both an advantage and a challenge for the service provider. While it does mean that service providers have the potential to sell multiple products to their customers, it also places higher stakes on the initial transaction with the SMB.
When purchasing hosted services, SMBs are split between buying in bundles and buying separately. The reason for this apparent split is that SMBs want to maximize the efficiency of their spending. If a bundle can offer savings to the SMB, then a bundle is preferred. However, if a bundle offers unnecessary services to the SMB, then separately purchased services will save the SMB money. This demonstrates the need for service providers to offer high-value, best-in-breed bundles and transparent pricing structures.
