This was the main message from Kafe BCA 2 talkshow with the theme "Technological Innovation Offers Added Value to Company". BCA hosted the event on Wednesday, June 1 2016 at Menara BCA, Jakarta. BCA President Director Jahja Setiaatmadja, BCA EVP IT Hermawan Thendean, Professor and Technopreneur Romi Satrio Wahono, PT Dwidaya Worldwide Head of Marketing Communication Yanty Wijaya, Blogging Father of Indonesia Enda Nasution, and BCA Finhacks winner Fariz Tadjoedin were invited as speakers at the event.
Jahja Setiaatmadja explained that businesses in the country cannot take the rapid growth of technology lightly. New digital based generation and lifestyle are growing trends thanks to this rapid growth. Moreover, Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest number of internet users in the world, offering opportunity and challenges for businesses to present on-target innovation to retain its reputation and branding in a very competitive economy.
“As a company that has undergone these challenges, BCA chose to push various information technology innovations that benefit society. Additionally, BCA continuously innovates to offer the best possible service and provide added value to society through digital based banking solutions. The company is also committed to support the growth of application based information technology (IT) by digital innovators in the country," he added.
Furthermore, Jahja stated that businesses and the public expect application based information technology innovation to be practical, convenient, and safe.
